What’s the general consensus on the new cambiums (plastic saddle loops) for bigger luggage I.e Carradice super c. I do have a hobo restivus I can use instead.

Having come from a fabric scoop shallow, then on to a flite 1990 and switching between a turbo, would the shape of the c17 or c15 be similar or those who have switched. I know this is like asking how long a piece of string is.

Faux wanker?

For sure! Just though for 20 might be worth a punt even if it’s half as good as the more expensive counterparts .

Just ordered one!

Hahaha love this, your image perfectly sums up what a SWHLKLUBIFDARTW is, hell even a wanker bike from an outside perspective! I think from a non cyclist the look and ride of a sub wanker is in their mind so similar to what you can get off the shelf at decathlon that the lines do get merged. It’s the smaller details and care that’s gone into it that might not be at first noticeable that denoted a sub wanker imo.

🤫

I’d say SWHLKLUBIFDARTW, you have the Carradice luggage, brooks saddle, nicely fitted mudguards with front flap, Koolstop salmon pads. Definitely made some worthy upgrades without stepping too far into wanker territory.

Fork and seatstays are proper nice!

Absolutely in agreement with this, the SWH sits between the wanker and FBNPNA but can’t ever really be either of them hence the SWH acronym.

Good stuff!

@Skülly ;)

Was waiting for this one to be posted! Looking so good with the Carradice matching the stem. +points for extra mode of transport (Indy 169’s?)

@rob_g_clarkson
Too good, looking at home covered in muck, must be such a fun ride.

Oh yeah, what a wanker!

Can’t stop eyeing the barnacle fork, hoping I don’t miss out when it’s released. Will up my wanker status for sure

Seconding this!

I agree, unless the bling of the chainring guard out wankers the chainrings themselves

I hope that under saddle cup is just for show.

Thats going to be a proper wanker bike!

Don’t tempt me

They’re already pretty bling no with the pro 4? Chris king next?

I’m feeling shameful of my turbo more and more as the days go on

Agreed

The more I see these mini velos posted the more I get tempted by one

You make a good point, I would like to add that new brooks could be considered if they are customised in some way? Diy cutouts and designs cut into the leather (obviously done very neatly, don’t want any bodges here)
