The Rat Trail Bikes

In all fairness. I kept bending the saddle rail because it was set so far forward right at the end of the saddle, that was two SMP written off so far before I got the newer 650b randonneur.

73 degree seat tube in the back, 74 degree in the front.

I fully endorse the portage handle. love it.
As sported by this bike, which is the best bikepacking bike and owner ever.

Wouldn't a setback post do the trick too? I'm all for this, to be clear, but I'm a bit puzzled.

I also want a portage handle, but I'm not sure why. @PhilDAS could you braze it on if I ship my frame to you?

I think I’m going to have to try one of these so called SMP saddles if it’s going to help me justify another bike.

It's a Haulin' Colin rack, not exactly custom build.

A gentle reminder that I'm not qualified at all to make jokes or talk trash about bikes so you indulge me by replying.

I just grab the downtube when using a bag. Unless it's muddy and I don't have guards, then is seatpost + stem

I just get my valet to bring it upstairs, whether it's dirty or not.

put the handle on the framebag?

'mechanic' who cannot fit saddle properly (and writes about making same mistake twice on public forum) names bike after grudge he holds from his own schoolboy error.

If I were the Belgian in question I'd be a little concerned about your unhealthy fascination.

You appear to have gone full retard.

Maybe get somebody else to prep your new frame. You dumb cunt

Nice Ed! Name and everything...

Maybe get somebody else to prep your new frame.

Is that not the builder's job?
