New Bachetta Giro 20 frame ordered

[Tigerbiten]

I find a Schlumpf HSD is very useful at extending my trikes gear range (x2.5) without adding another hand control.
Actually without it I couldn't get the range I want without a triple and a dual drive,.
1 hand control to change gears with for my IHG vs 3, front and rear derailleur plus dual drive.
If you don't need the x2.5 of a High Speed Drive then the Speed Drive has a x1.8 increase.

I was tempted with 2 wheel bent but chickened out and got a trike instead. I do like your bike in it's current form look's
good in red.

Still have the trike. It has had too little use this year.
Plans are afoot tho. Am having a very cheap electric wheel kit for my Xmas pressie.

A move to hillier terrain has seen the bents unused the last couple of years. The trike was sold and the giro lost some parts to my MTB. Recently found some cheapish 20” carbon forks on eBay so it now has the front wheel size Bachetta intended. Have fitted 1x9 gears and needs a new headset as I can’t tighten it enough with the old bits I found. Fingers crossed I shall be ready to roll one day soon.

Ordered a Giro 20 frameset yesterday.
Two to three weeks delivery ...
Seems an awfuly long time to wait...

But will be worth it.
