I'ev only got a crap phone photo to hand.
Deffo at the ugly end of the functional scale, but nice to ride.

You had eyelets put on the Masi forks?
Now I'll go to the basement and install mine. I will run out of spacers.And yes, those Black Mountain frames are well priced.

Why do so many of these bikes have a massive bag on a front rack
(instead of in the back / like with a regular rack above the back wheel).
Is that just en vogue right now or do people prefer the handling?
I never liked to have much weight in front of the bars, I have never been a professional / long distance / "touring" cyclist or whatever you call that so genuinely curious as to why people seem to prefer this kind of setup.
Here in Berlin people who carry stuff usually have these bags you hang on both sides of the back wheel. Well, actually the majority of people I see just uses backpacks. -
Just how a functional build should be ;)
Short rack stays also makes your fork dampen vibrations better too.
btw, is that electrical tape instead of paint? <3

Tbh IT is those levers that tips the scales. I don't mind the spacers once we get a decaleur on there.
It is gorgeous and tres functional -
Were you riding along the Surrey Canal towards Peckham yesterday or the day before by any chance?
