Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Long trail is still there, stiffer wheels or not.

Prototype 🤷

An imense amount of effort and money for an Action Man hybrid with pockets for snacks

First comment on the page nails it. Echoes what you've said. It's lovely and all, but all over pretty forgettable and fills a niche for no purpose other than doing so.
Tyres are interesting though.

The lack of necessity and huge cost doesn’t negate my desire to own one. Just looks fun. If I had a boat load of cash in the bank and lived in California, I’d get one.

I didn't have Rafa as a fbnpna type:

Are tri bars functional?

All kinds of rad!

So good.

Amongst the best retro MTB conversions out there.

Don’t read the comments

How wide are those 303s internally? Always look so out of place on these kind of bikes IMO

Well wide

21mm. According to the win(d) tunnel at Specialized, deep section wheels still give an aero advantage with big gravel tyres.

I like everything but the cranks ;(

I get what you mean. Polished cranks and this would be pretty much perfect.

Fair comment, that or black chainring/s might help too.

It is the matte silver finish that fucks it.
I can't handle it :)

Edit: I understand it is good value for money as new chainrings on vintage cranks are not cheap.

The brushed finish doesn't do any favours for making it look somehow plasticy. Always thought white industries would look good, but reasons

You could try to polish it? Nice bike though!

I don't know if this is functional or hhsb?
