You did what I want to do! MTN Mixte as kid carrier and rough stuff bike is a dream. My personal idea was to build it up with semi-modern parts. A 1x Shimano 11 speed kit, Paul brakes (V or Canti).
If I weren't going that that way I'd go with a White Industries 1x crank, Sunrace 11-42 10sp rear, Microsoft thumbie and some sort of modern-ish clutched shimano rear derailer. Good luck! I'm very jealous. -Justin On Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at 7:43:58 PM UTC-8, Drw wrote: > > Providence or bad luck had it that Rivendell would find a hidden roscoe > bubbe mountain mixte on the same day that i was looking for one on the > group, and then right after i bought it and felt like i was super > impulsive, they sent out the email that made me feel good about spending > money i dont really have today.... so i added a wheelset to the order... > to, you know.... keep supporting them. > > My main reason for looking for this type of bike is to turn it into a kid > carrying thing for the next 2 years. i feel like the step thru is gonna > make baby mounting, stopping/starting and getting on/off feel much more > stable, OR i always thought these frames were badass and this feels like a > legitimate reason i can convince myself of. > > Anyway, i've got a vintage trek mtb that will be donating some parts. i'd > like to set this up as a 1x with a big cassette, which will be a new > venture for me. > heres the list of what ive already got. in my head, i'm thinking > apocalypse s240 baby carriage and i'm gonna do my best to treat the bike > unpreciously (hopefully the lack of lugs will encourage some roughness) > > -nitto bullmoose cockpit with thumb shifters > -riv budget 650b wheelset (alex rims and lx hubs) > -riv stock headset, seatpost, bb > > I'm looking for recommendations on > > -baby seats (and/or racks that work with them if needed) > -other kid bike things besides seats that you found useful that i dont > even know exist yet > -tires > -1x crank and other 1x things i should be considering. > -big cassette > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
