le joli chariot

obviously if you exclusively race on the bike then a frame pump would be ridiculous, but assuming you might ride a bike outside of a race, and in said situation you might get a puncture, then they're by far the best solution to that problem (assuming you're not being followed by a team car with spare wheels)

If you’re on a long ride and have dropped enough dollar on a flashy bike then it’s likely you’ll be running wide carbon rims with 25c (minimum) tyres. If you can’t reach 70-80 psi, which is more than enough on that setup, with a mini pump you can put in your jersey pocket or even a co2 cylinder then you’re doing something wrong.

That saddle angle with that long reach looks painful.

Right in the perineum.

Still better than a frame pump.

Seems a bit unnecessarily wasteful for aesthetics. Granted this is the hhsrb thread though

Just finished my Merckx corsa extra MAX

That’s lovely. Would be even better in the big ring.

That’s lovely. Would be even better with the brifters upper and bottle cages.

I really like the Engine11s

Saddle, whimpy cassette, are those SPD? Otherwise so good

Spooky always deliver. Such a nice build.

Whimpy? Wouldn’t be going up many hills with a 25t with that 1x 50t ring.

Strong page so far

It may be a trick of the perspective but looks like a 42t or so cassette. In a road bike

if it’s got a 10 sprocket (i.e 10-42 cassette) i’d ride.

Exactly. It’s not a TT bike so you’d expect to need to go up a hill or two occasionally. There’s only one chainring, a 50t. It probably has no higher of a first gear than a double crankset and normal cassette
