Open WI.DE.?

Whats the hole just under the seat stays?

Yeah, Open WI.DE. Its unpainted at the moment, hence the current AliExpress look.

Hole under the stays is mudguard mount point as far as I'm aware.

Sorry, what I meant to say was on the seat tube, under the stays

oh, you mean the tiny little peephole? Thats the minimum seatpost insertion point. If you cant see the seatpost through the hole, its not in far enough.

Whats a rude bike? 2.21

Tsk. If you worked in one of those open plan offices you would know.

Selling my arkose tomorrow as I’ve never taken it touring so that vid was basically my inner monologue for the past 4 months.

It's not an Arkose but I've got this for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested...

I've ridden gravel roads in the US, our roads are worse and require a XC bike.
