Duuuuude! @arlew didn’t you have one of these?
Still do! @BicyclePears ranked it #2 bike of the year behind pengy
And @Perlhammered ‘s rock lobster got fourth I think.
Belongs in the badass bike thread
i love that bike. and the one for sale seems like a solid deal for such a rare bike.
Interested in picking this up?

r/xbiking delivers again.
where is this person finding rim brake frames to desecrate these days
I got really drunk last night
I didn’t think
Took me a minute to find the bike with all the adapter
I got really excited about the idea of high load capable zip-tie on threaded male fittings until I read the thread and realised they are just normal zips with the bolts just resting on top of them.
But at least they used UV stable zip ties.
wild that someone with a CNC didn’t measure the frame and machine a precision fit adapter or at least a few metal shims
I know! That’s the astounding thing to me too is that there’s clearly some ability there to fab things, I am baffled how it came to this.
Wait you mean that’s not some awful AliExpress contraption. Someone actually designed and made that thing?
