MartinF's second Raven Tour

(1/4) > >>

martinf:
Finished building up the red Raven Tour clearance frame I bought a month or so ago.

I've set it up for utility use. The wheels have Nexus 8 premium and Son Delux hubs, they came off my old MTB frame.

New Surly stainless steel chainring so I can use a Chainglider.

Steel seatpin with shim, this is so I can pull heavy loads in my old trailer (wouldn't trust an aluminium seatpin for that).

The flat bars and bar-ends came from my trials before buying my first Raven Tour, they should be OK for local use, but I prefer drops for touring and long rides.

Looks good and very useable.

That saddle is a long way up on a large frame, too big for me.

Martin,

That is a very nice looking bike well done, not get out on it and ride, I like the way you have made the light wires very neat and tidy.

Danneaux:
What a lovely build, Martin! I recognize the extended front mudguard.  ;D

Is that a Karrimor rear rack? I always liked those, and lusted after one back in the late 1970s, when they were unobtainable stateside.

It looks mighty fine to me -- terrific result!

All the best,

Dan.

I use 150 mm cranks, so the saddle is 2 cms higher than it would be with 170 mm.
