Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

It is, from the look of it, the owner probably ride it sans rack generally.

Ive never been sure why they didnt make more of them, or use a junction box like hope.

@spotter the main market for Magura rim brakes is Germany and Holland, who would essentially be using flat bars for their touring bikes. It was too niche a market I guess.
M-gineering bought all their remaining stock when production ended.

You know what I mean. Don't get your woolly shorts in a twist.

@tallsam this is very sweet of you but things have changed. I'm another person. The moment has passed.

looks great, except i'd be wishing i was on a bike more suited to tarmac on that beautiful looking road.

100% monstour

fat tourer that says 'peace' on downtube

Love it.

Hopefully functional, it's for my wife. Would have benefitted from smaller wheels but kona designed these around 700c so they'll do for now.

Stellar work; what FD and RD are you using with campag ?

Thanks, fd is sora and rd is an old xt. Indexes fine with hubub cable routing and 10s levers. The jtek shiftmate guys have gone bust sadly. We've just been on a test ride and it fits her like a glove!

Built this up instead of getting a Croix de Fer on the cycle to work scheme. Worked out a lot cheaper as well.

Not sure about bar set up atm, haven't riden drops for a long time.

Suggestions welcome.

Rack it and ride it!

Looking good!

disc brakes and a quill stem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Why is that a thing?

because he has an a-head setup ;)

^^ because ahead is a better design. So it's choosing form over function.

Yep: lighter, stronger and uglier.

Better ..

Compressionless housing will make a great different, great bike.
