Strong page. Some big drops.

Pump looks broken

Oh this is nice!

Back achingly good

Pump looks broken

It's a combination of the pump's unfortunate loose handle design (every Topeak has it), and the shape of the toptube of that CAAD. But I agree, it doesn't look great.

Handle on mine is solid thank you very much

I see it on almost every bike that has that pump, and mine is wobbly as well. Could maybe also have something to do with how far the handle is pushed in when installing it on the frame. That one looks doesn't look pushed in at all. Anyway, count yourself lucky, because it bothers me personally.

Ah that might be it. Mine is quite squashed in when fitted

Put this together over Christmas. Meet Dora the Exploro.

That’s rad. Only minus points for unimaginative finishing kit and short stem

Feel like thread has lost its way somewhere between weight weenies and mamil chariotz.

Chode stem and flat pedals are a big no

What a nice example of both

I did chuckle. Once. Still. Some awful shit in here recently. 😎

10/10 would shred. Shame there isn't an aero carbon fibre dropper available to compliment the flats for Sam Hill style cornering...

Hip Hop Mamil chariot?

See HHSB thread for true hip hop.
All these 8 grand Enve dripping things are not it.

Agree/disagree, Landshark is hardly cheap and lacking Enve. I thought Dora the Exploro ticked most boxes and is the most interesting thing posted here in a while.

Agree on HHSB, more originality there (ignoring RH crit-bikegate). Maybe the trad road bike HH formula is just a bit dull these days?

It’s not the cost that’s the point per se. Inexpensive parts are rarely HH.
It’s the fact that it’s a land shark, has a wild paint job etc.
Standard oversize ti road bike with brand new enve that any banker would put together having read a couple copies of Rouler is not HH. Just my opinion though.
