Retro Direct Bicycle. Pedal Forwards or Backwards to move Forwards, at 2 speeds without shifting.
This is my first attempt at building a Retro Direct.
You can find more information on the bicycle at my website:
This bike has 2 chain rings, 2 freewheels, and 1 chain.
You can propel your self forward by pedaling either direction, while coasting is still possible.
Pedaling backwards will give you a 46 x 17 gear ratio where pedaling forward will get you a 46 x 15 gear ratio, for faster speeds.
I am using a 1990’s AlpineStar Cromega frame with an elevated chain stay.
I chose a frame with an E-Stay to get the chain stay out of the way of the chain.
Longest ride was a 38 mile ride around San Diego with a very heavy tool bag just in case something broke, but everything worked great.
I currently have 1000 miles on this bike with no problems or adjustments.
This bike is also for sale, but keep in mind that I have spent over 1 month working on this.
My girlfriend Hilary’s first time riding the bike.
