Is it someone you know?

Well done with this thread

Well done

Awesome

This is not surprising :)

Can't figure out how one would ride these at the 'lower flats'

The write-ups on prolly are so awful these days, I can't stand it

Wtf is that at the bottom of the drops?..

Hi

I own both bag and rack. Can't take any more pics apart from what's already been posted in this thread, but it does attach quiet securely and does feel sturdy enough for its commuting duties (what I used it for)

As I mentioned, I never toured, but my understanding is that due to all of the weight of the stuff you have to haul, you need to minimize unnecessary elements and their weight. Hence the so called low rider (?) front racks are used, when you can still stick the bags to their sides, but the top platform is absent. In pizza rack + bag combo, it's more about quick access, mount/dismount and overall convenience, rather than minimal weight. IMO

Sorry, I wouldn't know, never toured in my life

The winter came a month too soon here in Moscow, so not really riding a lot currently.

I used the Pizza bag in conjunction with my Pizza rack to commute, and it was great! As already mentioned, the bag keeps its shape, and my laptop fit in like a glove (exact similar shape and size as the bag). The rest of the stuff went on top of it, and with roll top rolled :) and top fastener secured, it felt pretty tight, without stuff wiggling all over inside the bag. The velcros on the bottom of the bag secure it to the rack pretty well, in fact, it takes some effort to take it off. The whole bag looks/feels pretty sturdy to me. I haven't subjected it to any serious water or rain, but again I'm sure it will hold up well.

Sorry, cannot really take any pics at the mo, but i'd recommend the bag (and the bag/rack combo) to anyone.

Where is the half of the top tube?..

Nada, it's waiting for me to collect a bit more ca$$$h

Haha, thanks but it's a standard Trek Sawyer frame / color

My winter beater update project coming together nicely. Used to run this as single speed last winter, this year though, feeling the knees a bit more, decided to go 1x10 with parts lying around after upgrading AWOL to Alfine. Now all that's left is to set up a rear derailer and its ready to go!

Are you sure you can stick that front rack on a carbon fork? That's my issue with upcoming Sequoia, I don't think front rack + carbon fork is a great idea... Thoughts?

I know man, I've been following prolly since his days in NYC too, but I guess in this case the most hip thing I'll ever do is get the new 700x44 squalmichimihocheewhatever tires from compass for next season (that is if I won't lay my hands on sawtooths from Spesh)

Yes, tbh, this is my first ever experience with Shimano disc brakes, but I'm quite happy to exchange pads and keep my cool ice-tech rotors :)

Sorry, I may get blasted for posting this on the 650 thread, but even though I love spending money on new unnecessary bicycle related stuff, I could never come to peace with the idea of converting, let's say, my AWOL to 650. Why? I currently run folding bead 35mm wide paselas (not radavist-favorite, sorry) on wide AWOL standard rims, and this setup is as plush as one would want. Why switch to, let's say, wtb horizons that weight at least 100 grams more than my current tires, with probably same outer wheel diameter? Am I going to save that much weight on rim and spoke length?

I was a long time BB7 user, but on MTBs only. They did their job very well
Once I got my AWOL with BB7 road, I started hating them - I couldn't ride one fucking ride without chirps on at least one of the sides. Mind, wheels are QRs. No one I knew or went to see could set them up for a long term chirp-less existence. My n00b opinion is that this had to do with road version having pads closer to each other / to rotor, but I got so annoyed this one time, I just went and bought a set of CX77s.
Then I read all kinds of negative reviews online and thought, shit, wrong choice. However! Installed, dialed in, organic pads wearing off slightly, adjusting to rotors and voila! Many hundreds kms past, not one chirp or anything! One thing though, the organic pads do wear rather quickly, so after few hundred kms, the levers started reaching the hook of the drop bar, so one click on both inner and outer adjuster and it was fine.
CX77 do not have the 'tri-align' system of the BB7s, but somehow I managed just fine without it.
Hope this helps.

Who make the wheels on the lower photo?..

Yeap
