It’s about time for me to make this post and give a big thank you to everyone who helped me put together this bike for
@bespoked 2025 in Dresden.
The bike is built around a 20” x 2.8” wheeled Rohloff Speedhub drivetrain.
@_rohloff_ supported me with a beautiful orange hub. I have been a huge fan of their products since my teenage years, and I am proud and happy that they decided to collaborate with me for the show.
For the second year in a row,
@byschulz_components contributed one of their suspension seat posts. The seat post not only helped me achieve the look I wanted thanks to its incredible length, but after building a tandem with two of them earlier this year, I was also surprised by how much I appreciated the comfort the suspension provides. I will definitely continue using suspension seat posts on utility bikes like this one, as long as weight is not a crucial factor.
Hayes supported me with a set of
@hayesbrakes Dominions and ProTaper handlebars. I had only ever heard great things about these brakes but never tried them myself. Now I am really excited to test them on this bike.
@biketechnology.de sent me one of their 20” cargo bike suspension forks. I can’t wait to put some miles on this setup and see how it feels compared to a rigid cargo bike front end. I am especially excited to find out if I will notice any difference in my dog’s behavior when I carry him around. Visually, the fork also gives the bike a special touch, and I am more than happy with it.
A big thank you also goes to
@brooksengland for the C17 saddle,
@schwalbetires for helping me out with a set of Moto-X tires, and
@garbaruk_components for offering a special deal on the chainring.
All of this means a lot to me, and without your support, I couldn’t have managed to bring these bikes to the shows.
All these beautiful pictures were taken by
@johnprolly for
@theradavist . Thank you, John, for all your effort, support, and hard work.
