only way i’m riding rigid off-road is if it’s a dumb bike that doesn’t really belong off-road. like a coffee grinder or a ditherer. i have no expectations of going fast or doing well off-road with those, so it’s fun again
Pukebacking is all about rigid too. So many retro-inspired brands basically making ATBs and drop bar 29ers again, just with better axles and brakes. And that’s 90% about vibing your way to the campsite and back.
These new 20x3.0 gumwall slicks are friggin sweet! I have been rolling the Kenda Kaos knobbies for so long I didn’t realize this bike can actually coast
Those look sw8! Are they tubeless?
Uh this bike fucks.
I want a mini velo.
kyoot or VO are your current non-bikesdirect/eBay options
extra tube at the seat cluster says neither?
Nah I prefer tubes. My squishy bike is tubeless and it’s a hassle sometimes
that burro is the coolest bike on here
A tie with @Jacobell’s All Packa imo
I need to finish up the frame bag for it, and secure the title
let us not forget rudy’s 90s mtb that had a clydesdale fork and a free radical. not currently extant but i think he’s working to solve that
That looks like a fun bicycle shaped object
I coke-can shimmed the bar extensions and got em to work, but it’s way too wide now. 830mm end to end, but a very nice 510mm at the bar-ins/hoods position
now that’s a bike
Kinda feels like looking into my future…
