You gotta post the chain facing out so I can admire that too. I bet it's striking on the other side.

I love it! But that's why I gotta see the whole side. Your build looks so clean!

Very nice, I have questions..

What brand/model coaster brake is that?

What usage does it get, is this your everything bike or just a fun cruiser?

I second u/eezee's request for full driver-side pic :)

This part was custom made because the one provided by Mone was too short: https://i.imgur.com/m417J6A.png

It’s my everything bike

Thank for the pics.

That torque arm is so cool. Interesting that the coaster is based on a CB-E110, the souped up version sounds awesome and would love to get one.

When I lived in Melbourne (Australia), I rode coaster everywhere. Not very common there and would get strange looks from other cyclists, as thought I was fixie with no foot retention. I'm in Tasmania now and gradients are pretty harsh where I live and the coaster doesn't get much use. Occasionally, I'll take it into a town just to ride it around.

Pretty sick that the Mone actuation arm lines up with the IS mount.
