Dammit: Post your bike

[BicyclePears]

and it would appear that i indeed can run this brake backwards. what a world! thanks @Orloved

[Orloved]

if I’m going to spend 44 hours per day reading inane bike trivia, I might as well regurgitate some!

[karl_dandleton]

get another and run it normal. would look normal yet confusing

[drwelby]

Partsbin geometry mule.

Took my old hardtail, put on a shorter fork to get moderne seat tube angle.

Funn bars are fun but deep ergo bends don’t really work.

Suntour barcons are the GOAT and shift the 10 speed cassette perfectly.

What kinda geo are we looking at
Like 74/72?

…welp.bikes with all the guides on the right side of the downtube were not meant for v-brakes. so for now i have what might be the most powerful v-brake ive ever used in the front and a completely ornamental canti with rotting pads in the rear. its fine.also the bars are 860mm which is far too wide.

74.5/70.5

@Orloved

Ironically some litespeed dorks specifically get motolites to use v-brakes on the rear – supposedly you can switch the sides on those motolites around so that the cable routes to the right side

Will have to look into that. My rears are completely ornamental too. Not sure if it would help. Edit. Nahp. Wootin. I got the “worm” on the seat tube.

Need +10mm stem and to cut the steerer more but it’s a bike!

[EndpointBraden]

Searchlight fork combo!

@Andpoint_Endy get that lilac fade built up!

Fuck yeah @Jacobell

I love this bike so much that it’s hard not trying to replicate it. P. sure I have most of the bits necessary.

Summer tires on the foul weather basket bike. Rear fender got chewed up by studs and is awaiting replacement.

Did you de-anodize the cranks with the spider in place?

[BicyclePears]

Sure did.

@EndpointBraden

Yo, what collar are you using for that decaleur?

[EndpointBraden]

Salsa Rack lock with the lip filed out.

[Bootus]

Did they offer a 28.6mm size in the past or is it shimmed?

I had to search for a while for a 28.6 collar for the day ruiner before finding the Axiom and having to special order it from a local shop.

[EndpointBraden]

I can’t remember… this one is not shimmed. But I want to say I didn’t take all the lip off just enough for it to slide on. So it definitely bites up.

[Rusty_Piton]

That’s rad.
Speaking of altering bike parts to become other bike parts, I drilled and tapped this clamp on cable stop so it could become a mount point for the rear fender on my fixie which lacks a chainstay bridge.
