Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Yikes that looks good. VO Piolet?

No I pinched it off the gram, can't remember who, but it was meant to be modern take on the Bridgestone XO

minus the whacky bars

Whats the purpose of this bike meant to be? Id say shopper bc basket/rack and flats but looks like a lot of money to be locking up, plus it has two bottles. Surely its not a tourer bc flats, only one rack and risers?

say hi to brother from the same mother :)

Another one...

Used it in an event today called 'Pathfinder'. Heh.

Now with 'new' €5 tyres. Not in the most functional form at the moment with the rack removed, but oh well.

Lots of Muddy Foxes on the forum lately!

The green ones are rad but yours is even raderererer @Tijs

Wow, sick Cielo sitting behind it! ;)

And thanks @voxelwise! I do also really like the green one of @edmundro. Love the basket.

Pretty much yeah @Jaap. What kind of event was this? It wasn't a race, right?

Also; your Cielo is fire

Not sure if this the right thread to ask but... I'm going touring in Laos soon and I'm not sure if it's stupid to go with my 35mm Pasela's. I have about 15 kg of luggage and I weight 95 kg myself. Will the sidewalls explode?

What's wrong with touring with flats and risers?

Surely its not a tourer bc flats

Yeah, I toured 2k 1800km this summer on flats. No regrets, really.

Risers only have one position, which isnt great for all day riding or descending. And flats because surely for all day rides clips are more comfortable + better for climbing loaded? Still only has one rack

Naaah. I can do daaaays on flat bars without issue. And descending is never an issue. Not exactly trying to it strava gold.

I also toured on flats and swept back risers this summer, was fine.

1 rack is also adequate depending on your luggage choices, a lot of people these days running rackless innit.

Not sure what the build is for but it looks like it would be fun and versatile as a tourer. Might just be a pub/shopper bike.

Hhsfunctional obviously

I doubt it, I'd be more worried about the quality of the surface of their roads.

Do like that purposeful look cables where the top tube meets the seat tube.

I would go with some heavy duty touring tyres a la marathon plus or conti tour guard etc.

Also, I'm going touring next week with slightly swept bars. If you don't care about aero gainz then they're more comfortable for long days imo. Better on the neck.

Kinda reminds me of a server room:

Pretty neat.

OCD bliss

There are some really good ones when you Google 'server cabling'. Oddly fascinating.

I tour/long day rides on flats risers and one rack with a basket ....feels awesome

It was a team time trial, but without the time bit. Just 20 teams starting after each other to do some gravel grinding, more info: https://www.facebook.com/events/158088887960094/

Also; thanks, appreciate it :)
