Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Level rack would be nice though

Agreed

also mudguards could bet better fitted. That being said, I would love to have a custom stayer.

@Thrust

hoods are bit fucked up but I think thats part of your identity(?)

I want a new bike. Something that will take 29x2.4 tires, has rack/mudguard mounts, and is disc specific. Essentially a drop bar version of salsa el mariachi (same geo just shorter top tube so I can put drops on it). Does such a thing exist or do I have to take the custom route?

All city something or other with tequila sunrise fades. $$$

Gorilla monsoon. Lovely, if it wasn't 27.5 I'd be all over it.

Salsa Deadwood? Maybe too much tyre for you.

Salsa Fargo?

Kona Sutra LTD? Not sure what max tyre is

Genesis Vagabond? Maybe not enough to tyre clearance for you.

There's definitely a Surly that will do it as well.

What we need is a collaborative spreadsheet sorted by max tyre size with check boxes for mudguards, racks, drop bars...

Hot hot hot! Thanks!

Check these too! Maybe a little out of date now

Genesis Vagabond I'd say, not stupid expensive and hard to get like some of the Salsas

Nice one!
My top 3 so far:
Salsa Fargo 2019
Singular Gryphon
Bombtrack Beyond

Hard choice!

I don't like the look of them.

fair enough!

@carson do you have a picture of your vagabond? It's a great build

Truly. It's fiddly and right now I can't be arsed.

Front needs to be re-radiused and maybe the rear one as well..

Yeah, they're now lowered but to ride those chunky 505's comfortably they need to be more upright which is a pain. I do want to get the 105 or Ultegra Hydro levers and do the switch.
Also, I'm old and stiff and fucked up hoods is a state of mind or something.

Think I'll go with this one. Checks most of my boxes and the price isn't obscene. https://www.bellatisport.com/shop/product/3447/Wilier_Jaroon_Plus.html

Fillet brazed niceness.

Weird that's the second paris-tours tandem on leboncoin in the last few months and both lovely.

How I hope to see it.

I reckon that's how it'll look like after 10mins in epping in winter.

10mins in epping in winter

yup

Excellent. Now only to find a store that'll ship to UK.

What’s the point though, just get a mtb.
