Retro Direct!



This bike has a drive train so bazaar and genius, that when i stumbled upon it on YouTube, I simply had to build myself one. Basically this bike has 2 speeds with no shifting, one of those speeds is with peddling forward and the other is achieved by peddle backwards. Don't understand? watch this video I found.

I got my chain tensioner welded by a good friend, 2 new sram chains and i bunch of spare parts from around the shop later, the retro direct "town and country" (i should call it) was born.

Note: this build involved a lot of fine tuning and customizing. Not Practical or easy project. You may need special parts to make it work properly, in other words: I was luck to only have to spend $50 to get it going.
