I know you guys are probably tired of Polyvalent build pics, but here is how we built up the third of our demo frames. I think this would make a great commuter and fast city bike, or delivery bike.

My favorite of the three!
WHEN CAN I HAVE ONE
Tired...of Polyvalent builds...I'm sorry I don't understand.
fantastic. this one really shows your rando bars well, even under a pound of flesh.
I realize this is just a demo, but I'm 100% certain you guys/gals could come up with something better to finish off that leather than electrical tape. Actually, I often use your waxed thread.
Still, very nice. I dig the new color.
Another nice build.
To finish the bar tape: get some large heat-shrink tubing and slip it over the bars first. Wrap the bars, slide the tubing into place, then shrink away. Works great as long as you like black. I haven't found the big heat shrink tubing in any colors.
Wow, very nice!
keep em coming. the electric tape has gotta go though, replace it with some waxed thread for sure!
I do get the excitement over this bike. When will these frames be available for sale?
How about those Grand Cru 50.4bcd Cranks? Those would look nice on this bike.
I love how these bicycles are looking, all three of the builds. Would love to try one - consider sending some frames to Harris Cyclery to build up as floor models; I am sure they will be snapped up! Oh yeah, and I'll get to try one : )
Really nice. Keep posting builds.
Just a couple of points. Why are the brake levers so tilted up?
Also is it just due to the kickstand or is the saddle a little bit 'nose up'?
The frames, and almost all the stuff we're out of, will arrive in 2-3 weeks.
Alec built this bike and he likes his saddle and brake levers tilted up a little. Since he rides over 10,000 mile a year we'll not argue.
I like it! I like it a lot!
Love it!
One of each please!
NO NO NO! the front rack/basket is as useless here as it is on the Globe Live 3. How about a MIXTE frame for disc brakes, left bank bars, sweet steel pedals with half toe clips, a temple bell, fenders, and here's something: one roll of leather tape is plenty to wrap the grips on left bank bars and it's stunning with the honey colored VO saddle. As for frame color, I live in "Oaksterdam" so it has to be shiny black for all my coffee shopping. Gimme a MIXTE!!!
