Long story short, I basically wanted to build something around the steering and piston pieces from old Technic sets. I've also implemented a pull-back motor, because why not?

My new Drifter for the first time in its natural habitat. Getting pretty dusty. Cool riding, loved it (now that I got rid of a clicking from the bottom bracket). As you can see I transferred some of my new learnings from the bike position analysis from last week onto the Drifter. Means: completely slammed stem and putting the saddle max forward. Well, that 2 cm setback seatpost was an experiment anyways. Normally I’m fine with 1 to 1.5 cm setback and the most pleasing seat post designs are from 0 to max 1.5 cm setback anyways. So I ordered a fitting 0 setback seat post now. :)

Mein neues Drifter zum ersten Mal in seinem natürlichen Habitat. Es wurde recht staubig. Tolles Fahren, liebte es (nun, da ich endlich ein Klicken vom Tretlager losgeworden bin).
Wie ihr sehen könnt, habe ich einige Erkenntnisse von der letztwöchigen Bikepositions-Analyse auf das Drifter übertragen. Bedeutet: den Vorbau komplett runter auf die Topcap gesetzt und den Sattel maximal nach vorne geschoben. Ok, die 2 cm Setback Sitzstütze war sowieso ein Experiment. Normalerweise komme ich mit 1 bis 1,5 cm setback zurecht und das sind gleichzeitig auch die optisch am gefälligsten Stützen. Deswegen habe ich jetzt eine passende 0 cm Setback Sattelstütze geordert.

Tree laying in Boundary Bay, by the looks of the stump it's been in the water for some time. One wonders where this tree resided?

My new No. 22 Bicycles Drifter at the transmitter station Langenberg. Nice evening light. Still much to early to really test my new dynamo system for the light. But my aim was to finally put it all together and check my cabling which of course is just provisional right now. As is the cushioning under the top tube bag where I put my charger into. The beauty of hill reps is that you just have to hit your numbers. Speed is secondary, watts are primary. Regardless if you reach them with full bottles or a charging buffer battery. ;-)
It's a rough life for some. Took this shot on a bright morning with my Yashica electro 35. Home processed and scanned.

Some roads offer more than a way to get to a destination. They are the destination. Sognefjellsvegen from Sogn to Lom is a such road.
When I bought a motorbike last year was this one of the roads I bought it for.
From Wikipedia: "The Sognefjellsvegen is the highest mountain pass road in Northern Europe. Part of County Road 55, it is located in Oppland and Sogn og Fjordane counties in Norway. It is a national tourist road and starts in the village of Lom in the municipality of Lom, it then travels over the Sognefjell mountain area, and it ends in the village of Gaupne in the municipality of Luster. The road was opened on 16 July 1938. The road passes through the Jotunheimen, Hurrungane, and Breheimen mountains. The highest point is Fantesteinen at 1,434 metres (4,705 ft). During the winters there is a lot of snow, and so the road is closed from November through May. The road passes between Jotunheimen National Park and Breheimen National Park."
To find a day when I had help milking and Mette had a day off took a little time, so when the day came was it rather cold and partly rainy. When this picture was taken was it just above freezing and rather sharp wind. But it cleared up, and on our way home over "Gamle Strynefjellsveg", was it both warm and sunny. A day out as great as we had hoped. And a drive to repeat!
