Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

the most work the tyres have seen was being wheeled in front of the toilet in the shared space creative offices for it's edgy, cataloguesque for the 'gram shoot in front of a utilitarian, brutalist architectural feature wall

comment of the week

I'm pretty sure that's a "just finished build" shot of that bike (the Bearclaw). Seems like a waste of time to critique everyone for taking a picture of their functional bike before they've ridden it for 3+ years.

Looks like it's relatively new + new wheels: https://www.instagram.com/mason.danner/

yeah. I remember chatting with the guy on another forum, and him having a different frameset for a while there.

i mean it is bourgeoisie but it is hard to argue that it isn't functional. lights, mudguards, a big 'ole bag, low gears.

i do like the workin' man vibe though, so some aversion to fancy functional bikes is appropriate imo.

Damn I'm outta shape...

Legit wanted to tag you to fix it, but you beat me to it!

That's black magic fuckery that is @Tijs

That just took me over a minute staring at the pic to work out what he did. Good skills. Cool bike too

Functional in the sense that if you pedal it, it will move forward?
I guess?

humming "George of the Jungle"...

Space behind the seat tube is screaming for a frame bag.

awesome

Very cool. Needs moar fork leg braze-ons, you could get at least 3 manything cages on each side.

You don’t need mudguards if you’re not near the wheels...

i can never understand how you get on and off these things. do you have to use a step? what do you do at junctions?

track stand.

feet are pretty close..

For those who like the idea of a mini-velo but without those pesky small wheels

Looks perfect for Shrewsbury (important when you live in Shropshire) where 100 year floods are happening about every ten days...

Would ride down Smithfield Rd

Nice, does anyone know which Stronglight crankset that is?
