Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Yeah, I think some Soma Highway are on the cards now its finally payday

I got really fucking confused, thinking you're talking about the Soma Wolverine for some reason.

Ah, I was talking about handlebars, not frames.

@russmeyer @Berrow Kona owners of the forum unite! Mine isn't as nice as your guys but found it in a skip so beggars cant be choosers...

Skip finds are the best finds.

I got my Kona for free too. Sadly its pre-discs but I still like it.

Nice shipping container. What is it for exactly? Sorry don't understand skandie languages. But I'm guessing Sykkel is something to do with bikes?

Nice bikes from Niner - 853 frames

Was seroiously temped, but put off by the $1499 -> £1499 thing. Seems very steep.

Sykkellek (bike game) is a wooden bike track for kids that packs into the container. The container itself is a mobile workshop that we (Oslo bike kitchen) designed in collab with the city council. Its gonna be used to teach kids bike handling and how to fix their own bikes!

That's brilliant. Love that.

@Irishane cool project. Like your bike, wish I had a kona skip find too :-)

That is excellent. The name's great too - puts it in the right context straight away. Cycling's supposed to be fun ey?

ALSO I was wondering if anyone can recommend a relatively cheap axle-mount porteur-style rack. Doing a quick 2 day tour round Holland in a few weeks and can't be fucked with a backpack. However something I could strap the backpack to would be ideal!

Soma/Freshtrip style porteur rack is wwayyyyyy out of my price range :(

utfs

The Tortec Velocity works for me.

D'you mean this one, which is neither a porteur rack or axle mounted? :)

Ok you want porteur. I only half read your derail post. Apols. UTFS.

I have one of those with axle mount, yes.

Gamoh's reasonably cheap for a porteur

If you're travelling really light maybe consider PDW Takeout Basket as an option

That looks decent, cheers man!

@rhb couldn't travel that light if my life depended on it, but it looks nice!

This is so brilliant!

Very nice indeed.
