Current Stage Info:

Needed a commuter bike while I save up for an ebike. Had the Snyder frame in storage and decided to make it fun and fast townie. I also had a 2x crankset and thought it would be cool to make a lever-operated FD. So I did! Removed the spring and attached some thick fender wire to the cable mount post. Works surprisingly well.
