Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

U can mount it to the mid fork but might have to cut the stays for a tidy look

If you have the new version of the basket should have split stays which allow for mid rack mounting

Function > form Everesting build

Yes I have and it worked, as pictured.

'not anti'

Do you have a head injury?

But it fulfills a specific function. I thought it was an interesting set of choices, not a good looking bike.

Do we just rename this thread "rando porn" then?

Don't get the choice of pedals.

Pretty much

Not what I'd pick either but maybe they offer a bit more movement and flexibility which I guess you need after doing the same hill 50 times. To avoid knee injuries and stuff.

Not exactly a light wheelset either

? ? ?

No, that should be in risers thread

Sorry if this has been posted before, just found it while looking for something else and thought that's cute

Looks like it's got inflated avalanche balloons

: ]

Feel the urge to slap the person who chose the colourway repeatedly though.

This will be the next big thing #2k20

@frankenbike take note

ooomph! only little tinsy thing I would change is a thumbie for the trigger.

Are those VO Klunker bars? Gotta get those!

I know what goes down well in this thread, I just disagree with the consensus about what "functional" means

I like that bike though.

I don't.

By that token any hillclimb or TT bike would fit here though. I don't disagree that it's functional for its intended purpose, but IMO if it's not got guards or luggage capacity, then this ain't the thread for it.

I agree, hill climb and TT bikes are functional according to the definition of the word. I just like looking at bikes that are uniquely adapted to do one thing very well. Oh well, I'm swimming upstream and didn't really intend to start a debate, let's move on

New picture thread

Okay, niche bike thread. I don't have a big photodump prepared but I'll have a poke about later and find some suitable stuff.
