For a minute I was like “Why the hell am I on Soma’s web site?” Then I realized tarck sent me there :colbert:

[quote=emor]Fuck matching your tires with your saddle. That is not a tarck approved sentiment.

Seriously, fuck it. It’s a dumb idea. Buy decent, cheap tires an be a happier/better person.[/quote]

Since when is matching not a Tarck approved sentiment?? Man times have changed.

It’s the non-black tires that is awful, not the matching part

TC i would ride those green michelin cross tires though

that’s the nicest shithouse college commuter beater I’ve ever seen.

you should get some black tires for it

or brown cable housing

I mean come on

and dynamo

and some fenders. what are you, a barbarian?

And why handles on a basket that’s zip tied to the rack?

the basket handles are to portage the bike

Well, it is as advertised. I will give it that.

Taking this all with grains of salt :colbert: but here are some answers anyway:

[quote=emor]or brown cable housing

I tried!! I originally got white but that looked pretty silly. I offered to get brown, but she wanted black.

I really want to put some hammered fenders on there but she doesn’t like how they look.

While the handles are functional in some instances (i.e., not shopping), they are more for aesthetic reasons; that was the sole reason she wanted that particular basket. coz copper. The zipties are hopefully temporary. I want to figure out some kind of quick release mechanism for attaching/detaching it (other than bungee cords), because it’s a bit of a nuisance when she’s trying to get on the bike and it doesnt need to be on there all the time.

Lol saddle doesn’t match tires which don’t match grips

Tarck is about making you regret photographing your bike
