Acoustic Bike "Show Off"

[laney]

I recently upgraded the drivetrain on my acoustic cargo bike to make the hills a bit more bearable. Here she is in all her glory:

Is it fast? No.
Does it handle well? No.
Do I ride it remotely often? No.

Is it the most fun bike I own? Yes, by a mile!

I'm looking forward to bikepacking with the scout troop on it this spring to be able to haul some of the group gear.

I'd love to see some other acoustic builds, whether they be stock, custom, parts bin, whatever!

Here ya go. Mine was acoustic for the first 6 years of it's life. Here's a shot of me and it 400 miles into a 650 mile ride. Just for giggles, i weighed the mess at the start of the trip and the bike with all the gear and a day's supply of water was within a pound of my weight. Needless to say, I used every gear on the trusty 30 speed drivetrain getting to the Denver from Oklahoma.
