You can buy 5mm 6061 rod stock and bend it over a spray paint can and it’s pretty much perfect for fat tire bikes.

still feeling like maybe i should have lorried instead of crusting. but yolo you know- i’ve got my crust jawn and it’s fine.
Built up that weird Lemond Poprad from the DEALS thread. Pretty rad frame for $125; still got to cut off the down tube bosses to complete the look. Also forgot to order basket, so that will be there soon.

until you have to clean it, IMO. For the life of me, I cannot understand what was going through Markus Storck’s brain when he thought of making his bikes matte white. Such a PITA to clean and keep clean.

Can’t really fix it. I wish it was lower and more level, but it is an old Salsa rack for a Casserole and its all fixed mounting points. It was $11 bucks though, so I am not complaining too much.
Maybe ill get something different someday.
reminds me that I need taller bars. the 8-7/8" tall bars I have aren’t giving me all of it. Kinda want to try out some 9.5" tall ones.
These are 8.75 but I actually want a lil lower!
damn i want one of these so bad

8cm drop
Bike is tough to picture since it was built as a tall person’s t-rex bike. Basically a 53cm Colnago with 56cm ST. I hesitated at first, but It gives me plenty of room for frame pump (has a peg) and tall water bottles.
Here’s my stock 54cm normal bike

Stole my DA seatpost for another bike. This cheapo bontrager doesnt look terrible but it will go back to silver. Removed spds and installed twisted pcs. Raised stem 1cm because fat.

Latest nonsense I threw together, old Specialized Hardrock set up single speed. So far it’s riding better than ever with the new bars, great trade for lending out my Bob trailer. Not featured, current gearing of 32x18

The components say “let’s commute…”
the paint job says “… to the nearest Diner, Drive-in, or Dive!”
