Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

just so nice

Love how it managed to get that far, with all that luggage without a speck of dirt on the drivetrain or tyres..... :/
It's like a well spendy version of my lht with less cow shit on it and uglier racks.
3/10, would not bang.

Nou thats a nice bike/setup. Those cruiser style bars just make it look fun to ride!

Only needs thymbies imo.

I really like this build
Any idea what bars they are?
Nitto b2522 maybe?

Sycip JJJ Bar (made by nitto)

Any ideja what cranks are on this?

They look like Shimano 105s to me:

@Vaast

Is this now your new touring bike? Looking good.

Can't imagine how those bars would ride! Comfy most likely, non?

The advantage of these bars is their stiffness at the bottom and their flexibility at the top.

Are those sugino 75's??

Dura-Ace:

What are your opinions on mudguard size that'll work with 650b, i.e. has anyone successfully used mudguards designated as 26" or 700c size for a 650b 35mm tyre? Don't want to splash out on guards and get crappy 'fender line' as compass and VO call it. I know there's 650b specific guards but obvs more/less expensive options for 26" & 700c.

Edit: utfs turned up a mudguard thread, cross posting there as well

It'd depend on your tyre size, no? I think @spotter used 700c guards around WTB Horizons...

Non, I used 650b to get max coverage

@serling had 700c VO guards on his 650b I think

I can't honestly say I'm a fan of how it looks, but this is a pretty brilliant use of those bars.

I think it just a million time worse when you realised they're the shitty Cateye light.

@russmeyer Sir Grant of Petersen rates P45 Longboards for 650X35b.
I always recommend Berthoud though as they're such good value: for the price of a pair mudguards you also get hours and hours of fun trying to make them fit properly.

This ^ concerning Berthouds.
Also, Grant tends to make do in situations that call for aesthetics.
