Monster, Monsteur, Monstour , 26/29+ and Expedition and Adventure bikes

Best spent <200€ ever, wouldn't mind leaving for a globe surrounding tomorrow on this bike.

Looks killer from behind, but first image isnt working for me :)

It is the same image if you follow the link from the missing photo: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMvtiuwgB_N/

Does it work now? Was supposed to be just one picture.

Yes it is fine. I wouldn't mind seeing more of the bike tho

He posted some pictures in the Current Projects thread some time ago:

Real nice.

There is one with plastic guards and a different rack some pages back. Here's one from current projects:

Early nineties MTB built with a way shorter stem (original one has 150mm length-now 120). Nearly the same reach as my road bike, but miles more fun. The rack is selfmade.

@tijs beat me to it. Have to fight german auto-correct...

I like this a lot. Have seen it before but didn't realise it.

@JesperXT take notes.

Hmm, drops you say?

No, not necessarily, but ridiculously awesome would be good ;-)

Nice.

I had issues with tubeless/liteskin combo. The rolled off quite easily despite trying out different pressures. Settled for the TLR race stuff. Much fast.
Is that an E3 pure?

I was actually looking at the E3 and a dynamo today! So its in the cards but for now this €10 china led will do.

Do itttttt! Just finished the dynamo wheel and awaiting lighting. The tank bike has actually become my most used one, so it also goes that I'm flipping bored of charging up lights constantly.
Pricey, but should repay/transfer itself to other bikes tenfold.
Hows the light spread on the cree light?

Yea I've got a Son on my other bike and find it lovely. Just a case of funding it at this point. The cree light is really bright but the spread is well, round and narrow. Have to mount it facing pretty much straight into the ground not to blind my fellow commuters.

You can get diffuser lenses pretty cheap if you want to be nice to others, and also get a better light

Rim and hub are here for the dynamo wheel on my vagabond. Can't wait.

That's a stretch

Yep very strange fit

This look pretty cool (apart from stem length...)

And he writes about the low trail geometry, but by my calculations the trail is about 60mm, and that isn't particularly low, is it?
