New bike

Bought a Steintrike Wildone!

  • Blue with black suspension components.  
  • 20" wheels all around so only need one size tube/tire.  
  • Marathon+ 1.75 tires for smooth ride.  
  • Mesh seat
  • Folding boom
  • Rear touring rack
  • Fenders all around
  • Centara gripshifts
  • 11-32 9 speed casette with a 30-39-50 Tiagra triple
  • Avid BB5 for the rear parking brake, with Avid BB7's for the front brakes.


I've ridden it around the neighborhood a bit to get a sense of what it's like to ride.  Good fun.

I'll need to add

  • headrest - DIY version here seems worth a try.  A number of other DIY solutions also online. Others from a variety of manufacturers but they tend to be $$$.
  • safety flag/lights - DIY here with links to many other DIYs.
  • light & flasher
  • mirror
  • bracket for cell phone etc.
  • basket/bags for groceries etc.
  • security locator tag -  several blue tooth tags are available 
  • velcro cinch straps to secure stuff - Home depot should have them.
  • proper tool set
  • pump
I'll also need to make a few small changes:
  • quick release to secure seat to frame
  • more space for fenders
