New frogbike 78

New frogbike 78

Since last week we got a Frogbike in our family. It is our third frogbike.
In the past we had a Frogbike 55 (20 inch/ 2014), frogbike 62 (24 inch/ 2015) and now we got a Frogbike 78 (26 inch/ 2018)

We had a Cube 260 in the family with a bit to large cranck set and my son wasn’t happy riding it. On his Genesis Core 26 however he did like riding.
During some mtb chalanges I met Pieter from  “De Kleine Spaak” ( dutch bikeshop specialized in lightweight kids bikes)

He told me Frogbikes will come with a new Frog 78 with a better geometry. This winter we had a test ride on the new Frogbike with good results.

After the test ride we did order our new Frogbike 78 in Neon red.
We do have the bike at home now and I’m planning to create a trekking bike out of it. More info in a special post.

The Frogbike 78 is available in the following colors: Neon Red, Neon Green, Dark Grey, Team Sky Black .
Check your local bike store if you want some help on creating a trekkingbike from your Frogbike.

My Idworx AR video

My Idworx AR video

 

If you got something new it is fun to write about it or make a video. It is even more fun if the video 1,5 year later is shown on the Idworx Facebook page.

In 2015 I bought my All Rohler as follow up for my Easy Rohler. More info on the bikes will follow. I used my Garmin Virb to get all the shots.
The post is on the Idworxbike facebook page.

You can watch the video below.

Since then I cycled 5.000 kilometer on my Idworxbike.
