A hybrid-ized hybrid bike
I wanted to put my old Kuwahara hybrid back into service, but after too
many Northern winters the stem had seized into the fork. After fruitless attempts to free the stem I cut it away so as to get the fork off the bike, and on a whim installed a 26" fork and wheel instead. The surprise is how much I like the bike's handling now! http://drumbent.com/hybrid.html Mark |

Works for me. |

Naw... then I never would have found out how nicely this bike rides in
its current configuration. ;o) Mark |
