Hi Jim.

Here are some photos of my P/R in its P or Porteur state. I don't know if you want to call this an update, or label it an alltogether different bike. I'm using it pretty much for the same thing as before, mostly commuting to work, but I hope to carry more and heavier loads once my CETMA rack arrives.

Other than the bars, brake levers, and the zip-tied Wald basket the build is the same as before. I built this up with a Shimano internally geared 8 speed hub on the rear and a dyno hub on the front, Velocity Synergy rims front and rear, MAFAC cantilever brakes, TA cranks, Nitto M12 front rack, and a Brooks B17 Champion Special saddle. The bars are from shifterbikes.com and the brake levers are some generic cheapies that I've had forever. Still fun to ride. Can't wait to see what the load capacitiy is with the new rack and how much I can handle.

Cheers!

Greg
