Tumbleweed Posted November 30, 2014 Share Can I add my bastardised MTB to the mix?I have something building up in the garage to be very similar to your bike tumblesalice.jpgI look forward to seeing pics of the build! It's an old Sunn Tox. Had to use those rollermajiggie things to get the V-brakes to work. There's a thread here somewhere on the bodged chain tensioner we built. The most special thing on that bike are the gold LX hubs. Bloody bike wrecked me on a Crater Cruise some years back - not to mention a hub ride at Groenies that ended in broken ribs and elbow - but what a fun bike to ride!

Cam182 Posted December 1, 2014 Share so whilst window shopping I come across this. Anybody with more info? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/69479-new-from-spot-bikes-rallye/ if you are looking to use a belt drive its one of the few available frames you can get either locally or online to import. if you aren't looking to use a belt drive, for the price i reckon there are better options out there, especially if you are happy to import... just my 2 cents Meerkat82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
