Where's rep when you need it.

Thread comeback of the decade.

Indeed... the forum has been poorer for its absence. Sometimes this was the only reason I would check in.

Any progress +skrtluv?

Jus riding out the sub zero temperatures with risers mostly... Been staying keeping the drive train as clean as possible with all the winter sludge

drive train

Well you've just gone up in my estimation!

I am heartily sick of reading fucking drivechain on here.

"What, as opposed to the non-drivechain?"

I guess I became accustomed to the skurtmobile... I kinda like the aesthetics now. Beauty is in the eye of the barholder

Here's a better pic from the front...

Weather is taking a turn for the better so its back to deep drops...

I have a serious question... how much time can actually be saved/lost by swapping cockpits?

I honestly have no idea how much time is lost or gained by switching up cockpits...

I just enjoy a variety of options despite how subtle the difference may be

That front tyre must be perfect for winter riding?

I whole-heartedly agree. This bike is a work of art. Tracey Emin would be proud.

Its got some tread which makes me a bit more confident riding gravel and dirt... Worked about as well as expected in snow for a 24c once deflated 10 psi less than in dry conditions

Ermine wouldn't appreciate the subtleties of skrtluv's contemplative handlebar revisions.

Grimey mode...

i'm just glad you've got a brown carpet, what with all that winter muck and stuff

i would take time off looking at the handlebars and concentrate on that drivechain for an afternoon

#bitslack?

Is bar tape super expensive or hard to get hold of in Canadia?

Tape tax. Sellotape is more expensive than gold leaf.

my thoughts exactly

I have one question: Why?

Why not?

Drive train gets a good wipe before/after every ride... When chain gets dry the back wheel comes off and everything gets a deep clean and lube

Gloves keep my hands insulated from the cold and do a great job absorbing vibrations

Forum gold.

Covering a highly polished turd.

Winter frame/parts holder for when ma carbonz is back on the road...
