Dang it, Black Mountain won’t be putting out this road disc frame. Was really looking forward to this as a potential rando frame.

I used to work with a guy who messed in that era. I can’t remember any specifics but he talked about Tommy Toast a lot.

The actual post post mounts? I think they’ll be fine — the loads will go right down the posts and into the gaspipe chainstay.

cool, it’s a fat bike with no standover clearance, and it’s built for drop bars but is 5mm shorter than the first Honzos and has a 71 seat angle with a uselessly bent seat tube?

but lugs…

so these are the result when surly and riv have a psychedelic-fueled hookup at a festival, right?

the bikes are maybe good weird, but they talk about how burly and stiff everything is, and that makes me feel like they might be turdly to ride
