I had one of these (and yes, it's a Model G). I had mine set up with an old
Sturmey Archer AW 3-speed and rode it a bunch including the Van Isle 1200K. A

Your crank will be the deciding factor in BB spindle length. There's nothing
weird about Bike Fridays in that reguard so you can just follow whatever the

I run 1*8 on my e-Friday. A 1*10 is probably how I'd set up a bike if I was
building a Friday for myself today.
BTW, since SRAM discontinued the 3*9 hubs (successors to the 3*8 and the old
Sachs 3*7) keeping those old systems running is becoming more and more an
exercise in grave robbing. Kind
Those cranks are FSA Gossamers. The BB shell is a standard 68 mm, so you can
replace the outboard bearing BB with a square taper if you want.

OK, bias alert. I work in the service department of Bike Friday. I've logged a
hell of a lot of miles on New World Tourists and I've seen what people manage
to bust on tours.

You don't need a compressor if you decide to go tubeless. Just get a good pump
with a reserve tank, like this one:

You pump up the tank to a very high pressure, the flip a switch & whoosh the

I have a bunch of crash stories that I could pick from. Here's one.
My friend Andy had broken his collarbone mountain biking and was off the
bike for a few months. He finally got the clearance to ride, so he and I
were out on a gentle road spin around the south end of Lake Washington. As

Great pictures and a nice report. The pump storage between the double top tubes
just looks so right. It makes me wish I was taller so I could ride one of those

Pam, where do you live? Here in Eugene, which seems to be the bike pilfering
capitol of North America, bikes get picked clean in about 5 minutes of
