Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

fitter on a carbon bike pedalling faster = fastererererer

Fitter with a better fit = fastererererer

Steel can go pretty fast...

(drafting helps...)

I just saw this on Evans' website:
New Pinnacle Chromium 650B. 450 quid.

I was just about to order this but the price has gone up by a hundred quid! Hey Evans! Well I won't be buying one now.

Function? Roll over everything.

Do like. Functional and aesthetically trés genereuse...

more info/ pics? that stem has caught my attention

great monster!

10/10 would ride.

Yeah @Hekla! It's my buddy's, rides great. He really knows how to build up a nice bike. A few of his bikes are posted in this thread as well. You can check out more on pedalroom @t0-ster, his handle is mankkis.

x-post from my Raleigh thread. I currently have a pair of panniers that will take 30-36l, plus whatever I can strap to the Nitto M12 I've ordered (or put in a basket on top of it). For ~week long tours, how much extra space should I be looking to get?

Currently thinking the Blackburn seatpack and frame bag, but if I could get away with just a seatpack I might splurge on the Restrap one (max 13l drybag compared to the 11l that comes with the Blackburn). Has anyone handled either?

tire iron?

Tyre lever that fits in your handlebars and acts as a bar plug?

Yup.

acts as a butt plug

FTFY

Do you need any more space? Already sounds fine for a week

rather versatile trek 750 multi-track

I have a 970 for sell ;) true temper, made in murica, guaranteed to get you on Prolly.

The scandis absolutely slay this forum for good builds. We brits should be ashamed.

I have a 970 mostly built up already! otherwise I'd be allll over it

Ta, that seems to be the prevailing opinion

That's because they don't have any distractions such as social behaviour or sunlight for six months of the year, and are well-paid enough to spend these times obsessing over the correct components to cope with the horrible climate they have to deal with.

We're badly paid, prone to socialising in the pub and generally not going to be at the mercy of wild bears in sub zero temperatures because of our poor tyre choice and sadly it reflects in the style of our bikes which are best described as a haphazard assemblage or derring-do and lickspittle.
