So the first bike in the queue is the Cold One. Sometimes I am so dang clever, I tell ya. Homebrew Bikes? Cold One? Get it?
This first bike is going to be a fat tire snow bike. It will have a Hammerschmidt two speed internally geared crankset. This is basically a single speed snow bike, but with that bail-out gear for when the going gets tough. A sectional fork spaced @ 135mm will accommodate either of the single speed wheels, each with a different cog on the hub so the wheels can be switched between front and rear if one requires a different gear ratio for the days conditions. Paragon sliding drops will keep the chain tight and BB7's will be used for scrubbing off speed. I'm thinking I might make my own stem and h-bar, but we'll see. Time may be a factor. It is winter and I should be riding this bike already!
