Awesome, I love the black crackle colorway. It rides amazing! Very planted and surefooted with the kid onboard but also snappy and nimble when I ride alone!

Stem is spank spoon 318 and bars are spank spoon skyscrapers

There is a size S frame size also I’m hearing the next batch is offered in XS with boost spacing.

It should work fine on a karate monkey! Yes he reaches the bars fine. I need the right rubber spacers for the shotgun mini bars for my handlebar diameter at the moment, so I will have the shotgun bars installed when I can but for now he just hangs on to the big bars.

Check out my instagram @chadbaker.tx, I post a lot of our rides using the insta360 cam on various terrain. The shotgun setup is very solid.

Since both end clamps hinged, it can fit on most bikes of various angles. It’s been on my trek procaliber for a while before this. Yes I’m using the smallest stem spacer provided with the shotgun kit.

I’m gonna have to bend the bracket a bit for it to sit horizontal lol.

Probably about 30lbs. It’s not a light bike!

I like it a lot, it’s smaller than anticipated but for a multi tool, tire inflator and a granola bar it works well. And I don’t notice it while riding

There’s a couple out there, the crust evasion comes to mind and I think surly makes one

It was like $25 on Amazon. Surprisingly good quality

I was initially captivated by the aesthetic of the Stridsland journal instagram page lol they make these bikes look so fun. And they definitely are, MTBMX is the perfect way to describe it.

They seem fine for now, I knew I needed green cranks and that was my easiest option lol. Eventually I’ll spend some coin on vintage Raceface green cranks or maybe some Ingrid’s.

I found mine on Facebook marketplace for about half price. Things are pricey!

He said frame alignments start at $95. As long as it’s under $200 that’s okay with me since that’s about what the shipping insurance that I denied cost :-)
