lol i also have a raw kona
i kind of regret it but i didn’t like the stock paint job so whatever
The frame is…whatever. But that chain is unforgivable. The noise!
beat me to it. the frame: who gives a shit. The chain: incredibly JA
… covered in bullshit rust!
We all have a bike regret. Mine? Ergo bend road bars in the early aughts, by choice. And those gray cyclocross tires that I rode mostly on pavement.
dgaf rust is fine with me, it’s the people who want raw finishes but are absolutely petrified at the idea of any corrosion happening that annoy me.
i cut the derder hanger off my cross check.
Cross check with different entropy
What about that Dave Kirk cross bike that somebody painted the diarrhea colourway so it looked covered in shit when it wasn’t actually covered in shit
I cut one cable guide off an old Schwinn and decided it was more trouble than it was worth lol.
Laziness for the win!
Anyone want a 9-bong Brompton?
Says one bong for me.
Seems like a steal especially since it comes with a drillium Brooks!
Edit: I didn’t read and now see that it’s a pre order deposit. Not a deal. I’d love to ride that saddle though
Gonna need the worlds nicest bear suit
van dessel wtf makes a surly feel like a wiggle rando bike. an astonishingly heavy frameset.
edit: the frame pump placement makes me want to no longer be around.
Remember the Country Road Bob? That thing def rode worse than a CAAD race frame.
and the CRB was ugly as shit too. fuckin’ van dessel, man.
Well, that’s certainly a bicycle; it’s impressive how the ergo bars are not the most offensive things in that picture.
I recently bought a used pair of ritchey venturemax ergobars and as soon as I had them in hand I thought “what the fuck did I just do?”
