Is he using a front lowrider rack on that, center mounted to the hoop? Based on clothing alone, that’s a person who has specific ideas about bikes.

There’s an abandoned high school one town south of here and sometimes there’s a guy in his sixties or so riding a killer V around the track with a helmet mounted GoPro. I hope that’s where I’m headed before it’s all said and done.

I have SEEN this bike in person! Two weeks ago at Indeed Brewing in MPLS. It is NOT a joke. It’s dead serious.
All that bullshit and no dynamo. weak. and QBP steel like 98% of all “nice” bikes in Minnesota

I see them all the time but usually more the department-store-bike-with-detached-v brakes variety. Not sure if it counts. I also see a LOT of singlespeeds with only a rear brake. That’s very common.
it’s chicago though, can’t you just walk off the bike?

couldn’t figure out the Instagram embeds so Brian Pagel on Instagram: "Fun little? rear 36” wheel build for @dbb_chi last week. I wanna ride it."

If the wheel was covered in tarckisms we’d be eating it up tbh. Looks fun I just don’t get the joke.

The rear wheel contains a reference to Matokie Slaughter, but instead of reference the national treasure Viriginia banjo player, it references the crust punk/ high-art darling graffiti artist Matokie Slaughter who stole her name for a pseudonym. Why the hell is the chainring ziptied on.
Someone explain the rear brake cable routing - it appears to be the worst possible

Those GTs ran the cable through the center of the seat tube for a perfect run to the canto straddle cable. This person replaced cantis with v-brakes, creating a truly awful cable routing.
They could have easily not done a detour around the drive side of the seat tube
