Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Do you mean your Oak or the carbon conversion?

CDF 931 looking super functional today.

Not at all. Just a wordy way to say the bike planes well for me.

Planing is #janheineapproved, those who question it will face the Compass wrath. You have been warned.

Oak, the carbon conversion feel springy but no more faster, actually did my PB on the Oak because it work with me so well compare to a stiff carbon frame that made me work harder (thus feeling like I'm going faster).

When you flex the frame at every pedal stroke. The frame (bb area) spring back, thus in sync with you're pedalling (if that make sense).

A stiff frame doesn't, it give the feeling of quick acceleration due to lack of flex but wear you out more if you don't work with it.

(thus feeling like I'm going faster).

Nah.

If I can smash my PB withou even working hard on the Oak, then it's working well for me.

maybe you had a big poo that day?

You're a big poo.

A frame doesn't make you do anything.

Rather taken with this:

Peanut butter is the new ironic mug

That's an incongruously tidy frame bag.

I think the incessant rattle would drive me nuts before I got anywhere.
So. Much. Stuff.

Are Pringles crisps?
