Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Hebie Chainglider also works too.

I have the chainring in the outer position.

but is ugly.
I like shiny bendy metal bits. It's for my drakkar. acceptable metals are titanium, stainless steel or brass...
:)

Velo orange do some swanky chainguards

Thats a pretty nice chainguard!

Like @Miitch says, check out VO.

Yes that's a nice one, thanks!

wow!

Nice, but using the firewood as a mudguard doesn't seem all that functional😉

Interesting to see that the stumpjumper @spotter posted further up has not too far off modern trail geo. super slack, short effective stem length, lowish BB and quite long!

BB looks plenty high to me (could be the small wheels though). Also they came stock with quite long stems as per the re-issue as far as I know

Mine, functional enough for me. It also takes 650B Schwalbe ice spikers for winter use without the fenders.

Very nice, what's the frame?

Dunno if this is too stock for this thread?...

Double post error

Here's mine loaded up with two kegs. 65 American lbs each. Functional enough?

Birkenstocks though.

Hahahaha! Busted! Yeah. Sometimes zero fucks given.

The basket is heavily modified with undercarriage supports, new struts, an extra connection to the fork at the brake hole. 90% of the weight is straight through the axle and doesn't stress the frame.

it's only a matter of time before the functional bike crew are wearing birkies and zip-off trouser/short things.

God no. I'd need an intervention at that point.
