Black City Light Touring Cool Used Bike - Hobo Camper
Black City Light Touring Cool Used Bike - Hobo Camper
This is such a neat bike. Angel really built something neat.
This was a no name steel bike with group and set up that didn't really make sense. Angel rebuilt it from scratch and we threw everything to make it really useable.
Lots of cool stuff.
Vintage steel MTB stem that has water bottle bosses. We added a King Kage style stainless steel Detla water bottle and Salsa stash bottle. A used Blackburn front rack. A short Kryptonite series 2 with only one key - hangs in the rack with a velcro strap to keep it from rattling around. 500 lumen USB charging front light. A used Planet Bike saddle bag that was used as a prop rental to Planet is marked out with Sharpie so it just says Bike. Our preferred Wellgo Low Fat style mountain bike pedal that we import ourselves. Nice, comfy, wide, new Selle Italia saddle Light used Schwalbe Marathon tires. A used Crane style bell. Interloc alloy headset. Used Kong style rear light that is branded Schwinn and has new batteries. We try to use every part of the buffalo - so to speak.
This is the bike that you would hope your bike friend would build for you if they were as smart as Angel and had the resources of Coco's.
I have a feeling this is built in the same factory as Surly and Linus. There aren't that many steel frame manufacturers and the forged dropouts look very consistent with that factory.
Could you ride this bike to San Francisco with a tent and sleeping bag in the front rack? Yes.
54 CM - Probably 5' 6" - 5' 9"
