Did you just ShartQ?

Externally-butted seat tubes still have an internal butt at the bottom too, normally 28.6 .9/.6 with the bulge at the top being an integrated substitute for a sleeved collar

You may note that the actual ID is closer to 27.4 at the business end of the seat tube

You got me. I spent 4 hours this morning starting to look over my lecture notes from last year and making changes.

And don’t forget to take into consideration space the bottom bracket shell occupies downstairs.

Guys, this does not matter.

Says you.

And yet everything matters. On a recently rebooted obscure fixie forum from the late '00s, of course.

well some things don’t matter
(i am prepared to be flamed)

  1. we have decided that people can ride whatever saddle they want…as long as it’s not a brooks on a straight post
  2. we are fairly equal opportunity on wheel size…as long as you’re not doing some sort of low trail 700c falsehood
  3. uh…really stretching here…we do not have super strong opinions on pedals except for those awful MKS ones that we hate, and also that crank brothers suck…ok take this one off the list, pedals totally matter
  4. i’m out of ideas

  1. Grand Peterson and PVD are both nearly insufferable bike weirdos coming to the same solution space from completely different directions.

I stole mine for sure

tried capturing a pros leg extension here. Obviously missed the bottom and some ankling going on but is it fair to say his seat is lower than others? Not saying it’s wrong or right, just noticing that his legs don’t extend as much as mine and wondering what effects this has

Is there an inexpensive Revelate Feedbag knock-off? Like some Origin8 thing that’s good enough for $8?

Yeah but the point is to find things we all don’t care about!

Acepac Fat Bottle Bag is the best option. They also make a smaller one but it’s not easily available in the USA right now.

ebay link

I have a Blackburn jawn that was like 15. It’s ok

Edit: Hmm, either I forgot or prices went up? Looks like 25€ now

I definitely misunderstood the assignment because all your things were things I care about

sunlite. @Jacobell has some for me cuz personal card jbi purchases are wicked invasive and maybe illegal. he has some and has mostly no complaints
