Ryan, after investigating this, I think it’s more responsible to commit to a chain-driven one-speed with these specs:
- CHANGE folding MTB frame – need to figure out what size
- 700c Shimano wheels with 38mm road-optimized smooth tires
- Cloud 9 comfort seat
- Raised bars – either below or Alta bars (same shape but 1.25″ in center)
- Folding THINstem
- 42 crank, 16 rear cog, for 2.6 gear ratio
Total would be $1480, including free shipping.
Subsequent modifications and clarifications:
- APO shipping
- 19″ CHANGE 833 frame, matte black
- Two seats: Cloud 9 plus other, smaller seat
- 1/2″ extra axle on rear for side-mounting trailer on left side
- Chain tensioner for 1-speed
- Titanium bolts on front brake mounts
- Mechanical brakes
- Pop-off flat pedals (usual seat bag for pedals won’t mount with these seat choices)
- Canvas carrying bag
Attached photos show most of the unassembled bike components, missing only the pedals, axles, bottom bracket, and carry bag. (We have them; They just didn’t get photographed)
SCHEDULING NOTE: Assembly and shipping is expected to be relatively fast—before a planned trip April 23—but is also subject to surprises from a first-time assembly of this unique combination. For example, a slight difference in the thickness of teeth on a cog, or the number of spacer rings in a single-speed conversion kit, can trigger a tweaked reorder delay at this end to fine-tune that component. Other than that, we’re in familiar territory.
