I like that. What is it?

So many reasons to rep this...

What's that 26" drop bar bike at the top of the last page?

Rawland Drakkar

Do they no longer make the Drakkar?

I think they're just not that easy to come buy in the UK.

That's lovely. $4000 for a frame though? Who the hell is buying these things?

Before the great switch over, someone posted a link to a nice lightweight Ti audax style bike with disc brakes. The link for more info was to a thread documenting the build on a German website. The posts about it were lost. Could someone post it again if they can remember what I'm talking about.

Thanks

I think it was a firefly

@eone thanks, it was the one before. I think the finished paintjob was green. Any moar ideas?

maybe one of those transcontinental race rigs.

I don't think so. It is a minor thing that is annoying me now! I'll keep looking.

Easiest wheel carry I ever done.

You're missing a pole.

Scott San Francisco XC 1993, Altus C10

nice! level saddle/ rack and add a mud flap?

Ah, would like to, but it's no mine. It's for sell in poland :)

is there an official name for a bag that just sits on top of a rear rack? not a pannier.

Rack bag / rack pack / trunk bag - Topeak do quite a few

The OTP Surly Straggler comes with a 36/46 chainset and 11-32t cassette, I'm thinking about just getting the f&f then building one up myself, should I try and match that gear range?

Planned use is commuting, light touring, light off road.

If you're not touring the alps, with 4 full panniers and the kitchen sink, that'll give you enough range. I'm running 32/42 and 11-28 (8 speed) low enough at the bottom end, nice shifting at the front and I conserve energy by coasting down hills.
