Re: Friday PicFest No.373
From Chris Kvale this week- A new ride for Chris's spouse. The step through frame is due to a bad crash she had several years ago; she no longer has the range of motion in her hip to swing a leg over the back wheel. A conventional Mixte is still uncomfortably high for her, so Chris was able to modify the lugs on this by 6 degrees, creating a lower step through than the castings were designed for. You can see the difference looking at timto's post, Chris started with the same lug set. He originally gave the uncut lugs to her for Valentine's day, She gave them back to him- good move on her part......
