Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

campy shifters work with sram derailleur?

I asked him, he told me (@jdgesus, on instagram)

Chorus shifters , rival 11 rear der., 10-42 XD cassette, 42 race face chainring.

It works with Srams 'Exact actuation' derailleurs (10sp mtb or 11sp road). It works "ok" with Campy 10sp and sram 10sp.

You're too kind. Also very pleased that my brakeless, front-loaded deathtrap has made it to the Functional Bikes thread.

This pretty close to ideal!

Whats the deal with the setback seatpost / rammed forward saddle? Why not use a regular seat post and have the saddle in exactly the same position? #curious

@T4NY4 explain yourself in saddle rail court please! Really like the build by the way, particularly how you're bucking the trend with the Stermey 3sp hub.

It is the forums most mechanically complex fixed bike. Notice the disc brake. Last time I saw it it had a disc dyno hub instead.

setback seatposts are more forgiving/comfortable than straight seatposts. although thomson seatposts are known for their harsh ride:

It made me look thrice. Couldn't believe it.

Ha!

@King_Saxlingham and jambon - tbh I built the bike up with components I wanted to try and this was where the saddle felt comfy. It's actually only 0.5cm off central. Maybe the photo makes it look worse...

I find it to be a very comfy bike.

Tbf that was just me trialling the dynamo hub wheel, which will be for my disc trucker :)

What can i say - I like to try out weird stuff that I've never used before! 3spd fixed is remarkably good...

Hm, those are awesome. Those are very hard to get in mainland Europe, sucks hard, you got them from a warehouse in Engeland right?

They'll send them anywhere, just got 4 pairs delivered to Norway!

@jambon @T4NY4

Thanks, it does look a joy to ride.

The Jury's in for your so mentioned Saddle Rail Court. Case dismissed.

Thank you, m'lord.

Very leniency. Wow.

I just called and e-mailed them, hope that they got some left. Thanks anways!

Surly a repost ?

I got some a week or two ago. Apparently they've got tons.

Both amazingly still for sale: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/298273/#comment13478283

That Neil Orrell is so sexy I want to grab it by the hair and drug into my cave!

that Bridgestone is pretty much my dream bike

That Orrell is just perfect

So much want. @jambon I can see you with that Bridgestone.

Just clocked the inner chainring on that, to be fair they both look great. Sold the CAAD5 track last night so with a pocket full of cash was seriously reconsidering the Orrell.
