Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I've cut up and old A4 plastic binder. If you mount it on the inside of the mudguard, it bends a little which makes it a bt stiffer - but it can still bend out of the way of twigs etc..

I got my second hand alpha Q forks for under a hundred and they're the nest ones you can get for cx

WoW all the LuFGuSS SS17 trends! Looks ace. Cheers for the advice.

Yeah, in a fucking ass ugly franken form. Compare that to @spotter or your Genesis and avert your eyes.

It's finished!

Sptrs is pretty, mine is boring, yours is rad.

I have a 10spd Shimano Zee shifter sat in the shed doing absolutely nothing, nor will it be. Yours if it's what yer after. Let me know via pm.

Saddle position looks a little odd.

Also front mudguard is all but ineffective.

Would suggest frames too long, saddle right forward and very short stem. May as well take that front guard off.

meanin you wan sell 2 mez? ;)
genuinely interested if you still got em

yeah, would go with an even shorter (MTB) stem and push the seat back

Anyone ridden a Ritchey Ascent Break-away yet? How's the bb coupling holding up during offroading?
Thinking of building one to take on my business trips. Seems like a nice do-it-all bike.

Meaning that they are cheap enough to get hold of I saw a few other pairs go for much the same price.

Just noticed the Bridgestone and Orrell posted here. It was tough having to let one go, they are both bikes I know I'd miss, and both very hard to come by again. The Orrell, with the short top tube and generous tyre clearance, is very unique for a late 1970s bike. The Bridgestone is a joy, and opens up infinite build options, which is a lot of fun to think of.

Anyway, Orrell is now gone. I miss it already. In the end it was the more rational outcome because my other bike can do all that the Orrell could (albeit with a lot less charm). I miss it already.

How's the bb coupling holding up during offroading?

It has lasted this long, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't continued to do so in the near future.

@Chak my goodness! I saw you near old street ages ago on this, and spent a long long time searching google for yak, y.a.k etc and found nothing, convinced myself i had read it wrong and no such brand existed. have you got any more pics? such a cool bike!

Ohh that's sweet. Columbus make a carbon fork with mounts or is it modded?

Any ideas what that rack is?

What the fork is that fork? That bike is pretty much all i want and dream and plan about right now.

looks like a columbus futura disc fork with added rack mounts. Not sure how wise it is, I assume a Spork fork would be safer

please get rid of that storage "bottle". the rest is just perfect, nice!
