Ok itās almost winter and time to dither
Calfee will be a go fast bike to be built next year
Iād like a cargo bike ala omnium but I dunno weāll see
I have all the parts for a rigid 29er basket bike minus the frame.
Get me into frame geometry for a sweet rigid 29er basket bike. Should I just copy an old trek 950 or whatever?
73st
70ht
Long azz tt

Disco frameset? Why not stick with 650b if youāre going to go fat; thereās less wheel to push around that way.
I have a real sweet set of 29er wheels
Makes sense. And youāre looking for a bespoke fop chariot, yes?

Circling back on the dumb yolo Klunk bike
What kind of bb drop/height should I be looking at?
How much gnar do you expect to shred with your basket bike, and how long are the cranks youāre planning on putting on it? My gravelĀ®Ā©ā¢ bike has ~270 BB height with 172.5mm cranks and the tiny first-gen Atacs, but Iām not planning on riding that thing on roads any rougher than Trask River Road. If I was gonna be Clelanding the thing, Iād do a 290-300 BB height and let the BB drop sort itself out (easier done with 700c tires than with 650b, but itās still a monster truck sizing.)
Yo Iām thinking a Hunqalantis geometry might be a good use for a foptastic rigid 29er

Get out
Have your framepainter take care of it.
Or just get an Open (or something equally ridiculous). If youāre going to throw more than a bong at a hard tail it should be genuine carpet fibers and under 900g.
I work at a shop that paints and powders now
Do they powder bicycle frames?
Not really
I mean I could probably do one for myself but it basically costs $5000 to do anything
Darn.
Hey @EndpointBraden, what do you think of the Timberjack SLX 29? Iām thinking about one of them.
Get out of my thread with this

It pretty OKā¦ but for $200 more a Marin Nail Trail 7 gets a Revelation instead of Recon and the stock tires are tubeless ready. A little different
Mig should stick with the plan to rattle can a Karate Monkey though.

Recumbentistās recently declared love for threads sliding off track has emboldened me to shit up Migās thread more.
Wtf the put wtb tires on web tubeless rims but they cheaped out on the tires and theyāre not tubeless?! GodFUCKINGdammit, Salsa.
It sounds like youāre saying I should just go ahead and build up a chinacarbon Stache clone off eBay with the Fox fork I already have, Braden.
