Frankenstein's Monster & Another Stamp

I've been inspired to name my commuter bike: Frank. Short for Frankenstein's monster. It really is a hodgepodge of bicycle wonder.


Rockhopper frame.
Rear U-brake under the chainstays.
Biopace double chainrings. (I ground off the teeth on the large ring for a chainguard.)
Suntour stem shifter (left side only, for front derailleur).
Sachs torpedo 3-speed hub & shifter from the 1960s.
Rear Shimano 600 derailleur with green anodized jockey wheels.
Sram i-light front hub.
Wheelsmith double-butted spokes with blue nipples.
Deore XT pedals.
Velo Orange Model 8 sprung saddle.
Spanninga front and rear dynamo lights.
Blackburn flea front and rear usb rechargeable lights.
Topeak rack/bag system.
Planet Bike fenders.
Tektro brake levers and front cantilever brake.
RhynoLite Sun Rims (heavy duty downhill rims).
Panaracer RiBMo tires.
B.O.B. Nutz for the trailer.

I consider Frank a cosmopolitan.

And see what else I have my fancy on:


I guess these stamps are actually "poster stamps." Still pretty cool in my book.
