My Pacific Reach

This is a non-folder version, I guess you could call it a MiniVelo. It came as a frameset, Ltd Edition Scandium frame of 100.

It wont be to too many peoples taste, as is most of the stuff I enjoy but I love it .

Here is most of the spec. I will post some pics in a few days after my new seatpost, seat clamp, pedals and grips arrive (mentioned in the list below).

SRAM Red (black) chainset 53/39
SRAM 2x10 Double tap flat bar shifters
SRAM XO rear mech
SRAM Force front mech
SRAM PG 1070 cassette

KCNC Scandium 8% flat bar
Thomson Elite stem
Schwalbe Durano tyres
Brooks Team Pro Vans saddle

This Thread Is Worthless Without Pictures




... especially with Mini Velos getting quite a bit of attention lately.

Well I did say I would post in a couple of days once my new parts arrive. Dont want to post pics of something incomplete

Thanks for clearing up the textspeak for me

So I dont cause any bad feeling I will post a pic tonight and more after I receive and fit the new parts.

A recent pic.

Will post more pics when I get the new layback seatpost, grips and pedals fitted. The Hope F20 flat pedals in gunsmoke got delivered today and look amazing

Should have read more but I wanted pics

That's pretty cool looking. What would you be using that for?

Yes sorry, I wanted to put on some pics asap, I guess I should have waited until I had the new parts before I put on my first post but I couldn’t resist

I took some pics last night but the camera is awful and the flash doesn’t do the bike any justice, so I will take some more over the weekend during the day and post them.

The bike can be used just like any road bike and can be used for commuting/touring. I guess the main benefits are that as well as being light, it is easy to disassemble and pack away into a car etc etc. The small wheels are great for acceleration from a start so great for commuting. For me it is purely recreational, to use on weekends and if I feel more motivated then maybe the odd commute to work. I also sold a couple of bikes recently, so wanted to put the funds towards a bike that was a bit different and also try to get it built up with a relatively decent spec and to make it look good as well as be functional but also make it really light. It is 9.2kg, so not too bad I think

Here are the pics as promised, the bike is finished
