Doublestem is giving me all of it.

I tried to mount my og civia pizzarack to the Sundeal, but no go, struts want to go right where the QR is to reach the rear fork brazeon. Guess I could pclamp it but I don’t really like pclamping racks. Might still cobble something together with a second stem, but not as BA as Ergott.

Wasn’t loving the idea of basketbars, but holly hell I’m sold now. Totally stealing that idea (and finally going to have a use for my loler bag).

Many years ago I went on a ride where someone took the wald basket off their front rack and made a grill out of it:

pros: will keep you warm on a cold ride, food will be ready when you stop  
cons: temperature and cook intensity are directly dependent on wind speed, descending too quickly turns the grill into an actual blast furnace

I know a bro in Portland who helped start the ludicrous “grilled by bike” group who ride around Portland with live, hot grills.
