The Boss has the wheels and gearing to go almost anywhere
This build started out as Reid's basic fat wheel MTB and has been through several incarnations - there's very little left of the original machine as it's been upgraded several times - from slick tyre, ape hanger cruiser, to cargo hauler, to BMX cruiser style - where it is currently.
All of that time it's been my bad-weather rider and usually comes out when the rain sets in. With its 26x4" wheels it's geared low enough to go virtually anywhere. Often while hauling a matching custom trailer.
Mods include:
- Triple tree forks
- Cast aluminium wheels
- Disc brake front end
- upgraded brake callipers
- Brooks C17 saddle
- Nylon BMX pedals
- 10" Cult BMX handlebars
- Classic Cycle fenders - not fitted
- 12-volt Lighting, rack and numerous Kustom touches
Its upright ergonomic, the Brooks C17 and big balloon tyres make for a very comfortable ride on most surfaces too.
