Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

FBNPNA is a serious business.

Who makes those bags?

650B Straggler very slowly taking shape.

Looking good.

Why do they all look so angry?

They've not yet got their bikes dirty.

It's the weight of thousands of pairs of eyes judging them on the internet.

FBNPNA is a serious business.

They look like a right barrel of laughs to ride with, assuming the bikes actually get ridden anywhere.

Randonnergs all round

I feel it's more by the fact if they smile, they'll go straight into Rivendell "Blug".

I need to play with the position of the tent/dry bag on the back but it rides pretty damn well!

Take off the poles in the tent bag, and stuff the tent inside the blue dry bag, or wrap the tent inside.

If the dry bag don't have compression strap, get a compressor dry bag instead.

Oops, new page fail!

Any of you guys got a black brooks spare? Either b17 or swallow? Dark brown might do.... Want to try one on the Hetchins ... Preferably a bit worn but not knackered cheap is good.

If nothing turns up have a look at the Spa cycles saddles TM. Cheap and supposed to be decent.

More I think about it, I might fixie flounce too and get an AWOL if I can get a test ride in.

Measure stack and reach of your Talbot (including stem) then take the measurement of the AWOL with stem length to compare it.

Reach is very long on AWOL but come with t-Rex stem (60-75mm).

Why fixie flounce? 2 bike limit?

If you have a dream bike, it be hard not to ride it.

Not sure where to put this but I'm thinking about buying a '93 Specialized Rockhopper frame to build up as a touring bike. It has been done before but I like to know if it's a good idea? Thanks a lot!

Aye the small will be fine I just wannt see how it rides

I'll down on a 1 bike limit for the a while I think and I'm not leaving my talbot locked up really

^ good man; I fixie/SS flounced due to 2 bike limit recently; there is no shame in it ; )
