Honestly, I couldn’t take VO seriously until Igor got his hands on it. It’s been really neat watching it grow and evolve. I basically want one of everything they make now.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. Pre-Igor it was boring Francophile stuff and weird knockoffs, nothing interesting at all for the most part. Post-Igor it’s all rad stuff I want and handlebars I love.

If you don’t need it, you don’t need it

Do you have a road frameset that you can graft a front rack & bag onto? If so, you’ve got a rando frameset.

What size frame would you buy, Pubes?

Note to self: start checking eBullitt chain sooner.

11 months / ~3700km on STEPS E6100

I’m not gonna even bother checking the cassette wear on ours, swapping both out when I get around to changing the chain one of these days. E-cargo bikes are chain stretchers.

56cm but let me clarify that i want the velo orange rando because i have a 100/120 single speed wheelset ready to go for it. and i barely have interest in building a single speed, let alone a bike with gears.

23mm max on the fork tho


What I thought I would do was
I’d ride a really fuckin fancy track bike around the city like it was no big deal
Then, I’d convince myself that everything would be fine, even though it’s absolutely not made for this shit.

I guess everything isn’t fine tho.
