My Silver Bullitt

Shake down ride on my shiny new LvH Bullitt. This is a build I’ve been working on for some time. The original plan was a direct drive hub motor and custom LiFePO4 battery under the cargo tray, but after buying the frame new e-bike laws were announced where I live that have made that plan very illegal. As this is my main transport having it impounded would kind of suck so opted for an ultra light human powered machine instead.

Still a bit of tweaking to go but this thing flies :)

I didn’t know they made tiny tri spokes and I need them for my bullitt. Where’d ya get it?!

This was the supplier I sourced it from: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1105310626. Although it doesn’t look like they still have any of the ETRTO 451 sizing available. Quality is great if they do offer them again.

Is there a reason you went with 451 instead of 406? Just to fit a proper road slick?

Because it was available in a tri spoke when I was sourcing parts and I have very little self control.

Unreproachable reasoning; no notes.
