Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Nice! They're lovely bags - you'll not regret it. Space Horse looks ace too! Subbed :)

Aha, good shout. I also remembered that Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op have their own Revolution brand. Annoyingly they don't have current photos up though.

You can definitely fit bigger tyres in the Grater as it's exactly the same frame as the Plug.

The only difference is the fork.

Mmm I think the Plug 0 is a steel frame, the Grater 0 is aluminium, so presumably that's the same frame as the Plug 1. Either look great though.

Basically a more fancy version of my refurbishment plan.

ENVE wheels >>>>>

<<<<< cambium

Fuji feather? Not sure how big a tyre will go in but a smart option that could be "ratted" up a bit...

I reckon anything new is going to attract attention, probably best scouring classifieds, there's been a couple of path bikes for sellz recently depending on your height they could be a good bet.

My new not-so-unique snowflake, a 60 cm Soma Wolverine.

Looks awesome. Tried to get one about a year ago, but getting one to England turned into a fookin nightmare due to a dock strike in US of A.

Sorry, I mean Grater is the same as the Plug 1, just components difference.

Meaning if you want to put drop bar on, you totally can.

Laundry day

great. still lusting for one. first dibs.

Mosquito Bikes sell them

Must be a nightmare trying to find your toothbrush in the morning

^ This. Individual colour drybags. Why wouldn't you?

All that kit, and not a mudguard in sight. How is that functional?
Nice racks for them bags mind.

You know there are some parts of the world where it doesn't rain as much?

it rains in germany, or so I would assume if those packs are waterproof

Reader's wife:

I very nearly bought a Cotic but could never reconcile the fork against the rest of the bike... It just doesn't seem to fit aesthetically. How do you find?

I don't mind the looks, but didn't like the through axle dropouts so bought frame only. ^ that's a Salsa Vaya fork - same length and offset but with stainless dropouts and low-rider mounts.
