If you want pure gold harlequin content Jamie is your guy.
is that Mistral?
mildly balls-to-the-wall nerd bike – RB-1 with hydraulic rim brake shakes, $1,000.
anyone on tarck wants it, I can arrange, if only to see such a wild contraption with my own eyes. 56cm
I don’t understand the shifters. Are these like bar ends in function but mounted to the top of the lever?
Watching a stream from the Mission Crit and apparently this is what the kids are into these days, hell yeah.
I still want a tri spoke. I’ve lived the critical mass I missed out on. Still want a stupid front wheel
Kind of terrible and I love it
I’m curious if it gets parted out
those shakes are Edco IGP with Magura HS77 calipers
I haven’t seen them with metal shift levers before, it’s normally more plasticky
big potential downside would be if they’re indexed for Campy 8 speed which is its own deadend dangler+freehub standard instead of Sachs/Shimano
I just sold some 9s era Campy rim brakes on eBay and the buyer messaged me after the sale asking fairly desperately if I had any 8s Campy components lol
If this were bigger, I’d be tempted. I’ve always loved these things.
Edit: lol that’s in nyc. How did my CL app get set to nyc. I blame @Crustradamus.
These upcycled cargo bikes at a little Bentonville shindig last night, thought the were pretty TAF. Seems like a good use of skills someone would pick up building tall bikes or somshit.
I desperately want a Gnargo Bike now
i desperately want to do this but even if i got better at welding i’d have a hard time trusting putting my kid on it
You can put other things on there though
make your kid weld it so if it fails they have no one to blame but themselves
Steel is real honey
