Hey, what's your Sundeal?

And a garage door pic even!

I’m just happy you’re not posting pants.

Keep the weird bikes flowing.

I saw that too and because the bag has its own structure it looks pretty solid on that normal rack.

Do you think the FD is weird with the seat tube being further back like that?

a presumably steeper sta maybe helps with that. eccentric shim in the opposite plane than usual?

edit- braze on. maybe it works just fine enough?

The offset FD would help to compensate for the negative bb drop

Wouldn’t that technically be double butted, but triple cheeked?

or is it the kind of ā€œtriple buttedā€ that really went thick, thicker, thickest? not reflected in the drawing, but

I was just joking about the picture - double butted, triple cheeked

i’m joking about the same picture. a lot of old ā€œtriple buttedā€ frames aren’t like 1/.8/.5/.8/1 (random numbers fwiw) but meant like 1.2/1/.8 (also random numbers)

yep in almost all cases of 80s/90s steel frames it meant that one end was extra thicc, and an underlying motivation was the asymmetry allowed the tooling to be cheaper/faster/easier

it is cool nowadays for fancy seat tubes, though almost nobody bothers

it needs to be thick at the bottom to avoid emor-failure, and the top is defined by available seatposts, but the middle could be much thinner if you gave a shit

What should we call the stack bag behind the seatpost?

I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas.

Also that was a +1 wtf
