Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Looks like it's an Audax bike

I'm in love with this

Good look, is the frame raw with filters turned up to 11 or is it actually green?

Translucent paint innit. Someone mentioned it somewhere in a different thread.

It a green tinted clear coat

Ah cool, thanks.

Yeah. That guy has some great bikes. His old bike with the mono-stay was great.

@Tenners @Heldring maybe explains the waterbottle but not the crap panniers and rack that must make handling terrible.

Looks like a TCR bike, it's in this album https://www.flickr.com/photos/article9bikes/sets/72157686799311476

Not sure how Gilles Berthoud panniers and front-loading make it crap though. Randonneur bikes innit.

That's lovely.
Who's it built by?
Also can anyone tell me if what benefit the triple triangle offers? Or is it just because it looks rad?

Reader's out today for a shakedown to check the guards are fitted ok; a very pleasant couple of hours out in the lanes.

There's a supposed improvement to frame stiffness, but as for curly stays and the like, the real-world benefit is radness.

£65 for a large Pinnacle Arkose 2 if you can collect from Brighton

Here's mine set up for the Dun Run this year - looking at the Brother Kepler Disc though for some more clearance and for a slightly larger frame...

Too big for you.

And matching tyres

And less chodey stem

It's a 58cm - i'm a lanky bastard though, hence the silly seat post.

Looking good! Slammed stem makes it look pretty mean.

Please excuse the stem. It was the best available in my parts bin. Either that or a 3T forgie

going to pearoast a readers because i still love this... !

Looks great, I would close the space between the back of the fender and the tire a little and open it up at the bottom bracket so that whatever the tire throws into the fender space is able to safely exit at the BB.
