Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I have one of those on my shopper. Good bit of kit.

That's a very tidy setup.
I'm thinking of heading to Wales soon. Post some ride route/pics when you're done please.

that is close to perfection

Heavy duty rubber band + front brake lever. :)

Can't believe I'm anal enough to be bothered by those things (pump holder? Framebag things?) under the top tube being misaligned. I need bike detox or something.

They'd probably look better if they were actually being used ( for whatever the hell they're for ).

To me it looks like those clamps are being held in by a single screw (bottle boss maybe?) and so will have a bit of play. My guess would be a pump holder, with velcro going through the slot in the clamp to hold it (or maybe toestraps for more radavist points?), so they should align in use.
EDIT: though it looks like there's a mini-pump on the NDS seat-stay, so what do I know?

I do like the bike a lot though.

I heartily agree with the frame branding. That hammock doesn't look very inviting though, as it's used for target practice?

ive lost too many dear friends, its the only thing that i can say. As for the hammok: you snooze...you loose

Interesting. I have that same frame set up as 1x11. Desperately looking at options for hydro brakes as my BB7s leave a lot to be desired. Don't fancy those shifters though...

Bar end + Hylix?

Is that the new scoblemobile?

I'd just go for a TRP spyre set. Those are a lot better than avids..

It should be. But with one of those droopy nose saddles.

Just some hobbyist builder. Quite nice if you're into that sort of thing.

I spent far too long riding shitty cheap Shimano cable discs whilst I weighed up the pros and cons of Avid vs Spyres. I've only ever ridden Spyres briefly but I wasn't blown away by them. They're also much more expensive and require a reasonable amount of maintenance (for a cable disc - compared to a BB7 which requires near enough zero). Plus BB7s seem a lot more robust.

Anecdotal but I've only ever changed pads in BB7s in the shop, wereas I've had at least one dead Spyre, despite seeing far fewer of them.

That macho disk is beautiful
