Bike tags: camping | cook bros racing | MTB | pittsburgh | rails to trails |
This was a horrible bright purple and green found in the trash Trek 930 (I think) and I rattle canned it this burgundy color
Threaded 1 1/8" GT flip/flop stem, Answer Hyperlite bars
Stock Trek fork, whatever headset
Lovely cheapo single wall blue anodized Ukai rims on lower end Shimano hubs - at least ten years old and still going strong
same as front with a cassette
Don't remember the BB but the cranks are Cooks Bros Racing - at least in this pic
Fizik Pave on some generic post
Old School Shimano DX pedals, SRAM chain - probably a PC-58
48/36 x 12/28

The trailer was made by me about ten years ago. I use it only a few times a year to haul camping gear for our bikepacking trips along the Youghiogheny River Trail. It has a angled bash guard tube that helps to get the thing up curbs and over logs when necessary. Trailer is 13 pounds shown laden with 37 pounds of gear = 50 pounds total weight. Uphills are a bitch but the rails to trails have mostly very mellow grades so it is OK.
