Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Yeah but brakes and shit. Not out the box ready.

There's a few places doing the green one for £750 atm which isn't too shabby. I suppose the white won't stay white for long regardless!

Do like.

Where did you buy yours if you don't mind me asking? Have you had 2" knoblies on it yet?

I got mine through hugbikeshop.fi. It still looks as if it's the cheapest place selling them. So far I've only run the tyres in the photo - Marathon Supreme 700x40.

Haven't found the green one discounted, any links?

Just saw the white AWOL in the flesh, you're right about it not being white for long. But I would feel like one of those cunts in a white Audi. Maybe get a white one for the girl and get myself some other version and swap sone components around.

Currently in the "best bike EVER" stage of our relationship

This bike is so rad!

So when’s the forum ‘functional’ ride hapoening?

Winging its way to Gruber Heights now:

Found a decent deal State-side and 1) hope it fucking fits and 2) praying to all the gods and angels that I don't get humped on import duty!

Oh, nice! I really like the orange version. Looking forward to the build!

Hahaha

@ùbér_grùbér - nice!

Looks worlds better when its not fluro puke green.

thanks. I think. I forgot how expensive this building a new bike up business is... : /

Had a slight wobble over the sizing too as I second-guessed myself and asked for a 56 instead, before emailing back an hour later to change it back to the 54. Luckily our functional 'murican brethern are very friendly and helpful. Tres honteux.

The accumulation of parts has began though; sram CX1 cranks, Force brifters/mechs, TRP HyRd brakes, absolute black 36t oval chainring, 11-36 cassette, Pacenti/Sram X9 disc wheels, Soma Rando bars... just the stem, rotors and tyres and I should be set.

Was wanting some Halo Twin Rail II tyres but can't find any so don't know what the best alternative is?

Nice spec. Let us know how you get on with the hy/rds!

Pretty sure I saw that earlier crossing great portland st

Sounds like a good spec. Where did you find to supply it?

would make sense.

Cheers, I hope it'll do justice to such a nice frame!

I bought it from Bells Bike Shop in PA-found it on ebay US-it wouldn't show up on the UK site even though they ship Internationally.

They also had the black in stock whereas buying direct from Salsa they only had the orange and it worked out more expensive with shipping added. Just girding myself for being hit by import tax :(

A big expensive thing like that is unlikely to slip through I suppose.

well, I was nice by buying direct from store instead of Ebay so saved them some fees and did hint that it would be very kind of them to somehow offset that pointed generosity ;)

2017 version will revert back to drops

Someone have a flat bar Cotic Roadrat with a what appear to be a Surly LHT fork.
