and the bb drop is 70-75 depending on size. and multiple triangles more than typical

The Grade is the nüTachyon, isn’t it? With 650b, it is basically a 90’s mountain bike with drop bars.

OK something like this now. Albatross right-way-up was too shit when going fast

Wondering what fast means to you

Given the size of the big ring, I’m guessing, not that fast…

To be fair, albatross right side up sucks at anything over 10mph.

I dig it. Always wanted to build up a bike that looks like it is 100 years old.

It gave me old timey vibes too. @anon71759125 that bike now requires you to sport a curly mustache.

Now we’re cookin with gas! That thing looks great!(except for the orange tires)

The tires are like 3 years old? I think I just want to burn them up so that I can get a fresh set. The ones on the commuter aren’t that bad yet but I plan on swapping these over to the commuter bike. It’s the same gearing and everything so I shouldn’t even have to like play games with cassettes and stuff just swap the wheelset over

Finally got everything in order.


All on the cheap

  • off-brand teravails/ultradynamikenda, 30€ with tubes and tire levers
  • Sunrace friction shitters
  • shimano linear pulls with avid levers, no regrets
  • some cheap leisure bars to try out
  • a rack… bit much, will see how it feels when I make up some luggage for it

First impressions, being able to change gears is nice!
