The future is an aero road bike that fits 650x47 and doesn’t pedal strike
Dude put that thing in a wind tunnel

Looks like this 6-year old kickstarter thing is about to get off the ground. Disappointed not to see the tagline, ‘It’s like an Extracycle but on the other end!’, but I guess that’s why I’m in UX and not marketing.
points for whoever does the first Argo x Extracycle colab build

argo x xtracycle collab means you’ll win the carry shit olympics for sure.
Downside is you will definitely look like a pushmi-pullyou from doctor dolittle.
turning circle: two days, three if Monday is a holiday.

Swinging as wide as a bus on every right hand turn
They sent me the wrong fork - 40mm version instead of 60mm version.
Steerer cut and two rides on it before I noticed.

Turns out I got the right fork. The actual issue was the air spring top cap was loose. As I rode the bike the relative negative pressure was increasing and sucking down travel. Random chance it was right at 40mm after each ride.
Ended up talking on the phone to the MRP sales/tech VP, he consulted their engineer(s) and then sent me a detailed email (some of which should be, but isn’t, on their website) and I’m sorted out now.
The fork is great, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Which is different than I expected, better really.

I used to rock burts on my 650b bike for ultimate gravel adventures
Too heavy for spirited road adventures where you don’t need the extra cushion atmo.
I despise ‘patina’ bikes. This fool got it for a song and intentionally let it get rusted as hell on a beach. Is this Fallout cosplay or something? Yearning for the apocalypse to pretend you’ll survive it? It’s like those idiots buying a ‘patina’ version of a watch that’s just fake aged and rusted.
Framebuilders leaving their own builds naked isn’t the same thing, so I’m not calling you out or anything @drwelby, just people who lust after fake beausage and intentionally rust the shit out of their bikes.
JA. Agree / disagree?

Sweet bike except for all that rust

i think removing the paint perhaps gives it the aesthetic that you might actually be a framebuilder.
or perhaps your friend welded you up a bike, which is infinitely cooler than having an all city big block. so you blast paint and hope no one asks about the bridges on your dropouts.
