Daydreaming of a low maintenance, (affordable) bike build I could potentially work on as a project. (If I ever get time to go to the bike maintenance workshop project near me).

But yeah thinking of low maintenance, almost-bombproof hybrid bike build. (But not pricey/showy/gonna get stolen). A bit like a prepper's bike, but maybe the post-post-apocalypse has been going on for a bit, and you can cycle about lol.

Just doing basic daydream research now. But thinking Ridgeback Day (0, 01, 02 etc?) frame firstly.

Tyres: marathon plus

(Although probably should be something no inner tubes lol)

Any thoughts on a low maintenance workhorse that's a bit of an all rounder but also not pricey lol? #asknostr

Also happy to hear super pricey nukeproof builds for fun lol

Something like an old velosport frame. From the 70s or 80s. That’s what I used to make a one speed. Very sturdy and not too heavy

Peugeot also made bike frames in the 70s. Sturdy. If you take care of it it’ll last a lifetime. My velosport frame is probably 40-50 years old already

You got a Peugeot frame? They do look nice

It’s a velo sport frame. I think Peugeot made them in the 70s. I meant there’s also Peugeot branded ones that are very durable
