Badass bikes that aren't yours

Cool bike. Needs:

CK headset installed upside down to match stem
moon units or chill pills. Those Huffy straddle hangers got to go
one of any ST bottle droppers instead of using zip ties and one cage mount

My dad-biker has amassed a pretty respectable collection of robot and disc free rigs in the last few decades. There’s a 50th anniversary colnago c50 and a custom carbon Serotta rotting away upstairs, and a nice Naked for -pure road-

Out in storage somewhere is a softshock Litespeed mtb (the inspo for the Moots) which has evolved to have touring tires and an AMP Research linkage fork.

Any pics of the Litespeed? I’m a sucker for an AMP fork.

I can. I will.




On. killerV for good measure

So we can tell him how his bike sucks because we’re experts and he has potential

So many crazy rides on the trail this morning

Saw a kid who looked like he rode here directly from paying blue lug to bolt everything in the store together

A gen z Latina with braids riding a stock out of the box spotless Klein attitude no chain rub. Larger than stock chainrings and maxis dth’s

Spotless chrome and red Raleigh flat bar conversion rolling on the 27’s with stock gear

Maybe everyone getting their flash together for five borough? Is that even a thing?

She can’t possibly have the emotional response to that bike that I do. It’s just math

i’m gen z, i know lots of gen z girls, we all love vintage mtb’s. There’s a group ride here that’s pretty much all gen z and it’s like 90% vintage mtb’s with baskets.
