Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

That rear derailleur!

Not to forget it's also got a Girvin Flexstem, utter shite.

Bell placement seems an odd choice.

All the cool kids sport it like a brass-tit. That bike is quite the Bluelug special.

I saw that too, such a yodic little doggie.

Also in some places (NSW for example I think) bells are compulsory so they're often mounted in dumb places to get around the law without getting in the way.

@hp93 @Vbulman I run all my bells like that... however why it isn’t next to the left brake lever is beyond me.

Those bells are supposed to be pointing out like that, no? It gives the lever the most access.

I was referring to it’s slightly out of reach position on the bars when there’s a space on the left of the bars, which would actually look better imo.
Yes they’re supposed to face forwards.

My very comfortable heavy bike. Lots to change still and bag look empty after 9l worth of snacks eaten. I've even been riding it on gravel...

20-30cm from the closest hand, seems like better access than that abounds across the bar.

Looks very good, though I would suggest a silver stem for visual congruency with the seat post.

Yes, I'll be buying either a silver or black steel stem once I get the frame painted and most likely a more 'classic' seat post from nitto.

What is it? Can’t make out the Branding

Mismatch is the new matchy matchy

Uh, that is a good call!

Very nice imo!

That is so nice. Any idea what bars they are?

They look like Nitto Albatross bars

Really dig the sensible gearing on this.

Is that a negative BB drop though?

Looks like it! Handles like poop, with neg bb and 650b wheels too. Was the same for my Ti mtb with a troll fork. I hope my new fork with lots of holes in it will solve the poopy steering.

Other than that it looks lovely!
