Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Very satisfying coverage from that front fender.

Love it, just enough red.

10 years to develop some taste!

Very nice, is that a blue lug thing?

Talking of prolly, this is now one of my favourite internet bikes

Leather aside

thanks

Rear light looks fairly useless

Yes agreed. Bit of an oversight but it does look pretty

So many bikes posted in here are just a bit too pristine.

Custom frame, components curated to death to please the discerning crowd, front rack, framebag, guards. Tick, tick, tick. Blog ready photography.

Kind of a bit bored with it tbh. Bring back the functional parts bin beaters which just work.

I mean, not everyone, not even the last couple of pages, it's just something that I'd been stewing over whenever this thread had a dump.

Mostly I need to get out more.

Completely agree.
You need to stay in more.

No foot retention. What is this, reddit?!

Yeah does have a hydro brake though. Not ideal I know. It's the frame I like.
Ok just forget I even said anything

....cheers, that's mine :) TU/e ? I'll be back in summer hopefully.

Let's go gravel grinding in the summer then!

agree, best posts are the old workhorse bikes.

matchy matchy frame pumps are quite chic though

It’s the new porn thread, it always happens. People bitching and being anal about stuff that most don’t care about. Guess it’s the nature of a forum of geeky enthusiasts.

Needs guards
Gearing is too high
Needs matching finishing kit
A colour matched stem would really finish that off

Lol only this forum could bitch out about there being too many nice bikes. If you want other stuff in here, post it.
