The gold paint job ruins it.

The fact it has no pedals must kill the joy of a ride too.

Why would I touch these peasant fenders now that I have swarf?

Juin Tech F1, cheapest way to improve braking performance, F1 is flat mount.

Rival 1 is cheaper.

Spyres are working fantastically as Trek has really thought about cable routing, rear is full housing (obv) and runs without any weird bends. Front is externally on the fork with a zip tie.

I just went hydro because it was mad cheap on CNC bike.

You don't actually need big tyres in France, we have smooth roads you know.

Plus a dense network of quiet, good and thoroughly sign-posted minor roads. I feel your pain :/

You always need big tyres my friend.

Maybe this whole big tyre / adventure bike craze is symptomatic of a failing infrastructure.

You want to be dragged out of your car and beaten to death?
I know DBAD bike polarised opinion, but no-one deserves that.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
