TAF, JA, or just WTH?

even the dropped chainstay of the Hudski bikes

but much shorter wheelbase and reach, more simply a 90s NORBA Hardtail

Love Prevelo but they should have stuck with kids bikes.

The Marin Muirwoods is a more enticing competitor atmo

Not quite the aheadset minirando you were looking for

has that quality of “he mad” though

i frequently get the vibe that John Probs might hate his life as a bloggist.

A lot of the shit he gets to do falls into the “dream job” category but i feel like the other half of his time is arguing with the internet and defending himself. for 20 fucking years.

Comparisons to the Hudski aside, I am pleased with how many brands are doing “fairly reasonably priced covered in zits blank canvas bikes with decent builds” right now. You’ve got this Eaglebear thing, Primos, I’d even put Kyoot in there. I’m positive there are a bunch that are missing. I was bummed me out looking over the Surly sale yesterday because it made me realize that that’s what Surly used to be until the fat-bike-boom and introduction to thru axles sent them over the edge into pure esoterica

don’t RH tires only have the label on one side anyway?

never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by sloppy build standards

I suppose it’s refreshing to see Prolly lambasted for things he didn’t do as opposed to all the other times he actually fucked up.

Also very funny that he posted to the 650b list, even when IBOB is the source of something interesting it can’t maintain the relevance to see it through to conclusion.

Poor John, simpler times before half his audience was hate-followers

Pretty sure that was a very early issue…

damn what an absolutely mortifying type of photo that literally every person in this forum has been a part of at least once in their youthful fixie days.

If Prolly has a million haters I’m one of them. If he has 1000 haters I’m one of them. If he has 1 hater it’s me. If he has 0 haters it means I have left this world. If the world is against Prolly I am with the world, if the world is for Prolly I am against the world.

Neither, not cool enough.

of all the things to spend any brain energy on, letting a fixedgear bro-turned-bike blogger-turned-outdoor lifestyle blogger live rent free in one’s head is not it atmo.
