sweet jesus what is that horrible turd of a bike on the left

It is an abomination. Entry-level-ish Trek 3700 or something hardtail aluminum 26er. OMM racks, aero bars, plastic tube on front rack for carrying 2-liter type bottles of water. Dude has toured all over on the thing (like through remote Africa, hence the water-carrying tube). Strong rider, great attitude, etc.

+1

I think he also welded a bunch of custom rack brackets to replace factory pieces that have broken off over the years.

goddamn wool socks and sandals

ok well at least he rides awesome places on it

Don’t forget the ancient Marathon XRs that have no grip at all but still weigh a kilo apiece, and the nonfunctional suspension fork with rusted steel stanchions.

I could coast past him easily, it took me miles of pleading to get him to draft me on the smooth shoulder on the paved miles instead of struggling a few bike lengths back in the middle of the chipseal. He also refused to mount fenders before that overnight ride to the coast through the mountains that got inches of forecasted rain (though he at least wore long sleeves / a jacket for once). The plastic-eating rocket launcher is partly because he filed off the seattube bottle bosses trying to get the wrong FD to work, took a bit to convince him that rivnuts really do exist.

Fat Rob drove on I-5 south and then rode state highways west to the coast instead of riding in the mountains. Also had his flip-phone and no maps so it was hard for me to describe a better route back to his car.

I rode a carbon road bike with 23s on hardscrabble dirt mountain passes in the sleet

What can I say, we are some obstinate motherfuckers.

i know a tall skinny dutch guy who looks nearly identical and has the same jackass saddle position.
