Got the bikes cleaned up the other day
I haven’t soured on the short cranks yet so I built a formal gravel frame to replace the two bottom bracket test mule.
The Ritchey fork is super smooth and the Race Kings roll way faster than the knobs suggest.
rock lobster is top 5 tarck bike.
does that giant bubble lower over the rider?
cone of silence
I bet tailwinds feel amazing on this
They certainly do on my bakfiets with the big canopy on! It’s like having a sail and when I’m going into the wind I swear it’s more aero than riding without.
I can’t remember the last time I posted this bike proper, but the last big round of changes includes:
- Fenders on and then off again
- Force 1x11 → Force AXS
- Whisky carbon bar (and associated mediocre bar tape job)
- “Real” grav grav tires (American Classic Kimberlites - meh but ok for the price)
just found this picture. it was my first nice steel road bike. I still miss it sometimes even though it was too small.
How long are those cranks
Thank you for continuing to live the dream.
170, weird that they look so huge in the pic.
All the way to the floor
You got a whole head shop in that frame bag!
I asked my oldest in prison island was she interested in the goose. She 100% was. Will come with me when I visit my first grandchild in a few months. Took the old flex stem off and replaced it with this nos one I recently acquired. Will get her some pretty pedals too.
Damn it that bike is exactly what I want.
