The V.2 with 127 mm cranks works a lot better than before. I'm working on another kids centurion I believe it was a 24 inch vintage but hell trying to find those wheels and tires. I'll post that tomorrow when I build it up.
Those 127mm cranks make the whole bike look like it’s squatting down to take a leak. Never actually ridden cranks that short but I bet spinning feels almost frictionless on flat gravel, even if any kind of climb would be a nightmare.
The rear rack is a solid touch too. Looks like a legit little grocery hauler bolted onto what was probably a kid’s frame originally. That combo of vintage steel, tiny cranks, and a utility rack is exactly the kind of thing this sub is built for, way more interesting than another Surly with drop bars.
The giraffe with short legs joke above me is killing me though. Can’t unsee it now.

Uhg. I hate it. Upvoted. This is ridiculously uncool and unridable, sorta anti-xbiking? But damn it, that’s hilarious!

It’s peaaaak
This is so goofy it made me laugh. It’s like seeing a giraffe with short legs.
what the fuck
The pedal strike!
Scorchinnnn 🥵
I forgot to mention, these handlebars are 25 inch wide recumbent under seat steering bars.
11/10, no notes.
Remember this commercial from the 90’s? It’s what I immediately thought about.

I mean it in the best way possible.
