Kid hauling bike version 2

[link1896]

While I’m off sick and incapacitated, I’ve slowly been working on getting the kids seat onto an old Norco Sasquatch frame I got from Poodles. Built like a tank.

It’s hard to fit a kid seat onto a small or medium frame with enough room for your ass on the seat to allow proper off road riding. The pannier m5 mounting holes on the dropouts were too close to the axle, and as I’m using a solid bolt up 10mm axle, the rack mounting points had to move.

Hopefully these little ally tabs hold up to the abuse. Seems I can get 30-40Nm onto the bolt up nuts and the hub doesn’t bind, so the tabs shouldn’t move

Forks are some lovely old fox 36 van R coils.


Proper build log to follow

The old tank lives on!

Is that indicative of weight that it needs a pallet lifter to hold it up?

Imagine if it was an Orange!

Old speaker is on the walkie stacker as a make shift bench. Bikes in the Aldi stand.

But yes, bike, kid seat and kid is 44kg. It’s an intense workout

Picking it up or putting it down, there's nothing like a crown.

You’d need sandbags to stop it floating away.

Notes the inclusion of dirt tyres and the "help me Jesus!!!!" bar, plans for off road much?

Indeed a Jesus bar. There will be air time, my son loves to yell jump

While I agree, this is a controversial statement.
