Wow scrolling here from 2018 was the best kinda crazy fever dream.
This is a cool Cannondale m500 I use to experiment weird drivetrains for ATB fun. Right now it’s a 13/38 5 speed freewheel with a 32/48 crankset for my cosplay Suntour AG setup.
Also, a new Albion privateer with a disc champs Elysees low trail fork. I change the bars on this a lot, but soma port Mann swept backs on a long ass stem is my preferred touring setup on this. I swap racks and bags on this one for touring mostly. I think it’s 11/34 x 24/34/44 so that’s been quite suitable.

Three bikes, roughly the same functionality and aesthetics, but differing only in handlebars?

how careful do you have to be with the unsupported tt and saddle when it’s folded? such a compact design
May we see a photo of those pedals?
Between this and the 32" Jones, it feels like a new golden age of Tarck

I got them to consider waterjetting bigger plates but it turned out to be more of an investment than I wanted.

It’s the pork chop bag off my ibis that kind of fits into that space. Very serendipitous since Curtis makes it sound like the curves on the retrotec classics are kinda based on vibes and what looks good as he’s mocking it up, wasn’t designed with a frame bag in mind.
