Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

those look promising, and cheap @spotter

@withered_preacher that's a great article, thank you.

Have a look through all their bars there are lots of shapes at low cost

Getting one of those Moons, too. Cheers @spotter.

This is so it fits the new ultegra/dura ace chainsets, no?

That's a very good point, didn't even know this was a thing. Acycles have emailed TA so will see what they say. Would be a result as it took about 2 weeks for it to come from France so pos a month before I saw a replacement.

get sugino sub compact in silver

great, they're like the gusset ones only a bit narrower and a lot cheaper! I'm going to order some for my dad, they also work well with Ergo grips, if you're so inclined.

But I've just bought this now #antibuyer

Did seriously consider White Industries R30's, but just couldn't spend that much. Cool story bro etc...

Reader's again. No baggage or crooked lowriders, fit mostly sorted, and somewhat clean. Plenty happy with how it's turned out, frankly the only thing it needs is the steerer cut.

This bike makes me want to cry it's so good. I mean, seriously. It's ridiculously good - top work.

Very, very nice.

+1

don't see any shifters?

bar ends

jesus i'm blind

Looks likes a super granny ring - does the front mech shift ok?

it's also designed to fit a cover on it to match the look of the chainset.

Long you don't do something ridiculously stupid like ride on small/small for no reason whatsoever.

Yeah I was looking for those little covers you mentioned when it was delivered but they weren't included. Presumably they're a seperate part but don't mind the exposed look.

After a short ride (before the Gravel Kings let me down, again) the shifting seems great and the 44t recommendation seems spot on. Cheers Ed

Y u problem with gravel king?

They don't like me. 5 punctures in one weekend is a record for me and thought we'd got past this. Then yesterday another one.

Think @spotter is of the same opinion

Are you talking about the SK version or the file tread one?

Shifts marvelously. 44/24+11-36, and every gear combination works. Sure to hell won't ever use small/small but hey, good to know it'll still work in a pinch.

SK

Hah, I tour on them and only got one very slow puncture and that when i return home and dig out a tiny little thorn that stuck in the tyres.
