who wants to help me write a love letter to the Katu?
i think ultimately i want to do a thing where a narrator is reading a literal letter addressed to them romanticizing the katu, 10 minuteish thing. think sans soleil.
but instead of time and space and filmmaking its about our dumbass little bikes
hopefully i don’t need to clarify but in case i do, the end goal is a shitpost of a essay film, lets not get too carried away analyzing this idea

Ah, the life on bicycle
okay change of plans
Migael just sent me a nice poem
and i want you guys to just write me things inspired by katu or just bicycles and ill deal with how it works in the context of the larger thing
I want it to be very Godard inspired

neutrino is p dope. clydesdale is v v excellent. clydes is probably more useful but maybe less silly.
at least you know all 8 pounds of fork will probably not break and you can replace the frame because frames are temporary and suffering is eternal

Any chance they’ll warranty the warranty?
idk but i just let them know im done with orbea products so lol
taking my dithering to the cargo thread!
You asked for Katu poetry, but you got
See what they say if they don’t warranty it I’d just drill the ends of the cracks make sure where it would fail was supported by the seatpost and ride it until it started making uncomfortable sounding noises. Then I’d decide if it is worth sending to someone good for a repair or scraping it.
The seat tube is split in half, there’s no riding this
Just throw some booger welds on there to tack it together and yolo.
