Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Imagine someone in Canary wharf who goes to bespoke in lunch and has handed this Rowan brochure .. he/she could think it's good value. Value is subjective. Worth is subjective. Aesthetics are subjective.

Bicycles are fashion.

Internet nerds with shallow wallets are irrelevant.

heh heh heh. Applies to so many threads around here.

Is it custom though? Its batch production. Small scale but essentially manufactured.

Not that thats a bad thing. Standard frame sizes are fine for most of us.

I don't mind it as a bike, not my cup of tea exactly (elements I like but not as an all together package) and not sure if the promo shots are mostly for the bike or the guy-riding-it's 'sick' tricks.

Why give the makers a hard time about it?

The reason you know isen is because you are an internet nerd.

I meant we are all internet nerds lol

plus JB is mostly on singletrack and pistonheads these days

I'm just being a wind up because I can tbh...
And yeah, they have found a niche/lifestyle that people will buy into I guess.

I know you mean no harm but if I was you I'd delete that comment, as a young business you want all the support you can get and karma is a bitch.

I think you're right, besides who am I to say I'm just an internet nerd with shallow pockets!

I should patent that.

Was this at the Rapha shop/ Sacha fitting session?

I'd love to see one in the flesh

I've been put in my place

I like your emonda!

Internet Nerd with Shallow Pockets Collective.

Watch out EC1

I imagine a logo with cut off jeans empty pockets (maybe a going through one of them) and bunch of 'in the know' patches

Who wants to oblige?

Thanks :-)
And like that ultra romance guy, except riding £200 bikes

Let them hate on you their oxy-acytelene whatever they got going on still looks shit 😂

Just moved out to the sticks, but could bring up in a couple of weeks with me if you're not in a rush. I think the sizing is pretty dependent on body type tbh. I'm 6ft1 but 80% legs. Would probably reward a better proportioned human. Pm'd you as well

Chunky braising works for Brompton; How is this different?

it's lacking the holes, inconsistencies and air bubbles of the Rowan frame.
