You made me considerate putting flat bar and hydro brakes on my 650b tourer cause it look so much fun.

It's so much fun! You need to get another bike though, cause your Oak is so dialled.

Any good tips if I wanna go hydro, btw? Don't think I'll go back to drops on this bike.

Just read through this thread - really enjoyable! And can i just say, I can't remember the last time a photo made me so jealous:

I put Jones bars, flat pedals and hydros on my Straggler. It's fun.

Basically my plan for my Nature Boy

I got an Elephant NFE which is almost exactly like your Specialized but a modern and heavier version of the Oak.

Downtime shifter mean just a bar and brakeset to be changed.

That upwards shot of the trees at night is awe inspiring.

It's nice. Snapped by HP.

@edscoble Ah, that one, cool.

Awesome photos. Looks like such a cool trip! Now I just have to go out and have some fun for myself!

Thinking of selling this to make way for another project. It's located in Oslo, though.

dibs! such a lovely bike

Feel free to PM if anyone is interested to scoop it up. I'll probably wait a month or two before putting it on the local classifieds because of laziness and the fact that it's winter here. I still have racks, panniers, fenders and the drop bar setup too.

What will be the next project?

Good luck with the sale, super cool bike!

Finally put it up for sale on Saturday and today it left the house for good. Buyer wanted it pretty much stock to use it for commuting and pub rounds. Doesn't look all that cool anymore, does it? But I get to keep some nice bits for the bin and can sell off the rest. Even the extra super rare custom framebag is up for grabs if you got a medium Awol.

How much is the bag?

Difficult to put a price on it. I spent like two days designing and making it. Fabric is cordura and zipper YKK water proof. Open to offers.

The new project is a hardtail that I'm designing from scratch. I guess I should make a project thread soon.

I've got a large sequoia, so probably won't fit.....I've also got a lovely little restrap one that I'm not getting rid of anytime soon!

This thread makes me want to go cycle touring/camping even more!

The bike with for bars was sick. Shame you're selling

whats the name of the rear rack ? Is that specialized too ? Is there a matching pizza rear rack ?

It says in the thread. Just read it. (i dont remember myself but I saw it somewhere.)

miss this bike. @larsenroad what did you replace it with in the end?

Cheers, you just made me make the project thread: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/317190
