IIRC his handlebar bag is a plastic laundry detergent bottle

a couple years ago he got an airbrush to paint the shells for his own custom built slot cars for a racing league, started using it to refresh his clipless shoes in cool colors, and from there started making his own SPD shoes from scratch:

Need a better potato that what’s posted but I’m going to guess one of those QR 60+ mm adj seatposts

Me too. I love low trail and have ridden low trail bikes for almost ten years, but cornering feels like dog shit atmo

Not quite right for an old SR, pretty sure it’s this:

at what point do you just admit your bike doesn’t fit?

Not always possible to get the knee angle in the place with a steep seat tube

Also dude has a berthoud saddle on there

With that deep ass setback it’s like it’s slammed back in a VO post

I had this one somehow. I think it came standard on my 1989 shitter MTB. I remember when Shiggy did those shoes, I was following a couple of other people also on IG doing the same thing.

Wow the radavist reviews a grando like it’s 2018 again

It irks me in a way I’m not sure I want to dig in to

More like 2013 amirite, when a low trail steel disc bike would have been fresh

But you know what, I’m glad dude likes his bike

I’m here for it.

I thought it was fine because he actually said some stuff that sucks about the bike. I wish Morgan Taylor was a staff writer and could just write about every bike I’m interested in.

does shiggy still think we should all be using drop bars on our mountain bikes?

isnt he like 80 now?

we sent this dude a pubes enforcer frame to review and he sat on it for two years. finally just asked him to take it to his local coop so they could sell it and make money. wonder if he ever did that.

I think they’re closer to Birkenstocks than Bonts
