although I’ve seen work bikes sold cheaply they may well be many years old and knackered…. and if > 20-30 years old could contain imperial size or obsolete hard to find British components rather than MTB or hybrid components

whats a derailleur gear 700c hybid? you got any links to what they look like?
a cross between a mountain bike and a traditional British gents bike – with 700c wheels (about 27″, bigger and thinner than a MTB) or a derailleur gear instead of the traditional Sturmey-Archer hub (you can get these but they are way expensive now!)
look at the attachment below (can’t embed it in the post as it goes tits up for me)

Sheffield is definatly not flat as well, built on 7 hills…
Want to try and build something like the rinkydink soundsystem. Get 2 leisure batterys on there, alternator and a 3k inverter… should be enough to run it.. also get a big stand so that when stationary you can lift the back wheel off the ground and sit on and pedal… also a couple of solar panels.
you will need something very robust for that sort of weight!!
Dont suppose you know where i could find the design plans for one of those ice-cream bikes? cant imagine it would be that hard to make, just need 2 mountain bikes and someone who can weld! :bounce_flash:[/quote]
I’ve found the plans for the trailers… but not the frame conversions – bear in mind someone “who can weld” stuff for motor cars or other metal work might not be a expert in the welding of bicycle frames where the stakes are higher (it is literally your arse on the line!). you need to find one of those “wallace and gromit” type northern dudes what makes bikes for enjoyment…
