I thought something interesting was going on with that stem. lovely stuff.

@Tomo187 Thanks

Dang, those things are cool. Have had an ebay alert set up for them for years at this point. Seem to be decently rare and when they come up people always want tons of money for them.

I suppose that theres a horizontal connection between the two seatstay mountings through the spokes which you cant see thanks to the photo angle

Giggles :•)

Some very nice details on this

With rim brakes who gives a fuck

Got some new bags for my Shand. Can’t recommend Straight Cut enough. I’m in no way affiliated with the brand but Ross puts out some incredible work.

For those interested, there’s a whole sleep system in those bags plus all the gubbins needed for a good few days of sleeping in bushes. Could probably - and hopefully will - credit card tour for weeks and weeks with this setup.

Is that how those shifters are usually installed?
Looks bassward somehow.

That's very smart.

I think I need a dynamo for the croix de fer

Ah, saw this on Ross’s Instagram. I have bags by him too and for my money they’re some of the best gear I have!

They're DA bar-end shifters, they're not designed for downtube use, so they look a bit off

Super.

Does anyone have a photo of that silver randonneur with DA9000 fitted? it's in the thread somewhere, but I can't find it.

That's the one, thank you.

What a dream.

Alright PhilDAS

With that bag, you have to un/relace it every time you want to take it on/off?

Thanks, should've seen that.

Yes, but I think the thought behind it is that it spreads the weight more evenly so it sits closer to the tube all across and how often do you really Attach/remove a frame bag? once each per trip I’d guess.
