Living in CPH and the Nano just launched. Omnium obviously knows this city better than anyone so the 20 inch setup makes sense here.
But the cargo model became so ubiquitous so fast that I wonder if the Nano goes the same route. Which isn't necessarily bad, just curious if anyone has actually ridden one yet or has thoughts on it versus other urban minivelo options.
What are people running for flat city commuting right now?
Just finished building and testing my first minivelo. I’ll be using it to commute and my wife on our weekends ride out.
Roughly price for just components £750 and around 30 days from order to received.
After months of checking the site daily..they have a batch in! 4 color options in both sizes
(Bikesdirect of course)
Is it a mini velo? A children's bike? I don't know, it was weird enough that I had to have it. It's obviously made in the early 90s, completely stock and rarely ridden. The frame style and the ridiculously long cranks make me think it's for (young) adults but the low bar give children's bike vibes. Didn't find any infos on the internet... I will probably turn it into a rideable mini velo for my wife. What do you think?
I just build my minivelo and I max out the gears already on flat. Currently running 42t chainring 10 speed 11-39t cassette. What chainring size should I change to, that would be fast but still comfortable to pedal?
Is 52t good or too big?
Thanks
Just popped on a 50t chainring. 60v battery makes it toot.
The weather is finally good enough to take my bike for a ride and show you some pictures of my front rack bag.
Base measurements are roughly 35x40cm height ist ~43cm.
The bottom part is made out of XPac X11, Front and back are padded with 10mm recycled foam and the sides with 5mm Eva foam. The bottom has a plexiglass plate for rigidity.
Lining is XPac V15 and the rolltop is 1.43oz DCF I got out of a RBTR grab bag.
Added a bit of V15 on the outside for the attachment flaps.
Iw would have preferred some binding on the inside seams at the bottom but the 10mm foam with the other fabrics maxed out my machine and I'm not the best at binding anyways.
The webbing straps can be used as carrying handles as well if you want to take the bag with you.
Anyone in the Houston area looking for some minis? I have 2 small mercier nanos and a 3 bar custom frame built by marino bikes in Peru. Im looking to move them as our style of bike riding has shifted and these are no longer be ridden (i never build up the custom frame)
The nanos are both 48cm, ome of them i swapped to a brifter setup, and the other is a flat bar with the original head tube shifters.
I would consider shipping the custom marino frame anyomes interested
Let me know, you can DM me or any questions you can post here.
Thanks
Edited for more details and photos.
After boppin around town on my fixed gear bmx componented mini, my buddy wanted one. So I taught him how to build a frame and lace wheels and got his rig finished up today.
