i voted in, but brexit not looking so bad you know... i mean.........

he keeps talking about how bikes handle different? never experienced this myself, they all feel the same after the first 5kms

maybe it's early onset, shouldn't judge

it's very boring and this video should go in the racing thread, anyone who wears a jersey and cap casually needs prison

this is sooo good,

resto-mod >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> resto preservation

47-22, mostly urban and rolling lanes

i kept putting a bigger cog at the back progressively till they stopped making bigger ones, luckily it's working quite well. i would describe as a "you'll get there when you get there, but you'll get there, whatever is there" gear

title says it all, would like to have the bars ever so slightly close when in the hoods, but not enough to force my hand in buying some decathlon stem

would take a 26mm clamp or 31.8, needs to be 1/18th ahead

thank you for reading

has someone told you about brexit?

i know you like it because you used your good camera, looks lovely, two tone included

constructing a big gulag / guillotine labelled "10k bike inside"

one of those rides where all the cars pass wide and it feels downhill out and back :)

excellent build all round, colour is spot on

dming you an invoice

v nice, it's like the distilled essence of "modern road plus bike"

went to install the half link last night and it looked like it would work, right up until the brake tension screw decided to give up? just stripped then and there.

so i guess i now have to buy the replacement part? either way will not be doing that for a bit,

in the week my ht2 tool arrived so i could install my 22t cog onto this wheel and set it up fixed, it rides quite nice now really, except for the free wheel clicking once a revolution, guess i buy a tool to take this off too???!?

for now though, shall stay as it is, operation "have one bike" has been concluded and noted as a failure, what you need is one bike which is ready to ride when you need to go somewhere, and one bike you can break and leave it broken till you can bare looking at it again...

and one bike you can get out on nice days

oh and one you can get out on bad days

then of course you need another when you want to ride.....

.

this is ahistorical, the market was going this anyway, this is actually the natural evolution of people wanting stiffer and stiffer bikes which come with 100mm slammed stems that "look like the pros", that ride like shit for anyone who doesn't do epo from the age of 15

35mm clamp
TA
flatmount
oversized steerer

someone help me budget compliance my vertebrae are dying

if people just rode 60mm +10deg stems and had a nice compliant fork with some flex, lowered their saddle a tad so they could throw it back over the rough stuff, they wouldn't need this spaceship bar

the racing and performance lobby, yet again holding humanity back

.

mad build, mad price, anyone tyre kicks at this they need a ban

many nice bikes to you in the future :pray:

this looks mint, lovely job

what if you built on your previous experience of lifting "abandoned" bikes, stole two more and sold them :taps-skull:

one of you owns a inbred, the other a big bro, go ride your hudskis or outbacks, you also both own a monster surly and well, i guess you have the gt bela? drop bar it????

it's because the surly owner is a yuppie tech bro who knows nothing about bikes except wanting "a nice one" and has disposable income for the first time since they moved out of their parents 5 bed in the hills, so they walk into somewhere like keep pedalling when getting a job in the northern quarter and the lovely couple hook up the henry to their wallet

2 years later, they've not rideen it, it has sat in a shed and they now need a car to get to their start up outside of town, the bike is sold and they haven't gotten tool worth from it, as such in their eyes it has lost no value

the other buyer?

this persons parents, their wallet never opens for anyone, not least their son who wouldn't take up the family business of being a racist. they spent years on an old Raleigh and when it finally exploded spent another 3 years researching online the best bang for buck, because this was 10 years ago, it was a surly. alas, they've caught rona from going to their friends bridge game in lockdown and now need to sell it and buy an e tourer due to reduced lung capacity. being who they are they dont understand depreciation of an asset, their house price only goes up, as such, they sell it for what they bought and consider it a good deal

RH tyres for the sort of guy who see's a muddy fox and thinks

"i'd love that, chuckable and flexible, something to dart around the trails on for a classic vibe"

then spends £2k on some modern thru axel, titanium, 31.8 clamp, large diameter tubing disc brake version of it from some insta account and goes "i love it!!! (why does it ride like shit??)"

sleep tight xoxo

im sorry you've now been branded a poser, this is like being cancelled but aesthetically and not ideologically
