Switchcraft All-Terrain Bike 3
Parts
General Info
I always try to find a reasons to build bikes. Obviously it's not that hard for me. For example this bike is a result of playing with the idea of bikepacking. Aim was to make comfy geometry for long rides, plenty of options to attach stuff thanks to water bottle bosses or mounts for custom rack which I'm gonna build soon. What's with that weird seat tube? Well I like to upcycle things with what I already have. That tube is 853 Reynolds uni fork blade which was send to me as a mistake but @reynoldstechnology let me keep it. Thank you!! I just welded it to 27.2 seat tube where those two tubes had the same outter diameter. I love when things come together like this. As you probably guess, the reason behind this seat tube is to make space for those thicc wheels because there is no way I would build a bike with long rear end. Never. I'm a wheelie kid no matter what. All my bikes have calm, simple colors to compliment the looks of steel tubing but I felt like doing something a bit different this time. Biggest inspiration for this are the beautiful creations by @squidbikes and @spray.bike I love you guys, you are doing great job! Finally special thanks to @jakubbarcik for making such an amazing shots!
