Dammit: Post your bike

[tehschkott]

That’s… better?

[cousinmosquito]

720s as wide as I can go with trees around here.

@Dickason_Daniel

You gotta lean over on some spots with wide bars.

yeah, and do a quick turn bars and then turn them back to squeeze between parallel trees.

[JUGE_FREDD]

@ergott

More than a couple L/R trees that would have been impassable with the wider bars. I have to stop and weave through them. Maybe I could have went to 680-700, but YOLO it’s fine.

your eyes are always wider than your handlebars

until you get into 780mm bar territory, the only exception are 30-60° swept bars like Jones where every so often you grind your knuckles without thinking about it

even if a weave is needed to confidently pass through a section, you should be able to do it by waggling without stopping in all but the most absurd 3+ tree scenarios

I finally got a Homercar. Low trail, 20.5 lbs with a 1 lb rear hub. SOST OKED

[shane.rrr]

Damn

[anon71759125]

So wild. Did you paint it?

[Rusty_Piton]

Sweet bike but…no fenders ever?

[todd_bonzalez]

I see fender eyelets front and rear, so no…?

[Bahamontes]

The bike is Cerakote, so it’s at least durable.
No fenders.

[Rusty_Piton]

I see a light mount on the rear NDS but nothing on he DS. Why fender eyes on the fork but not the rear? I’m so confused!

[Rusty_Piton]

Also, that rack has got me like,

Triangles man, How do they work???

[Straws]

whoa you cerakote’d a bike? in TAF colors?!

[Brendal_Crimpton]

So so good Scott.

Can we find out for tarcklebees what is the most beloved bike in this thread?

[ThurberMingus]

I gotta say that is outrageous. Onyx hub? How did they react to “comic sans Dura Ace”?

[Andrew_Squirrel]

Why green and not purple or pink hub?

Both trails I’ve ridden here have at least a couple. I can weave, but before cutting I had to stop. Tested and both would have hit or at least less than an inch of error. Not staggered.

1. what in the photoelectric effect is that hub coating
2. why no fenders? do you not have water or mud where you ride?

[chazzwazzer]

Nah that contrast is so much better than matching
