Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Bmx grips?

With those fenders? I think not.

I have odi longnecks on one of my bikes. I like them

I'm going to back the Supremes. They came up as 43mm and just looked a bit anaemic in the bike. Too expensive to spend that much on them.

Let me know if the hurricanes are good / what size they come up as

Yeah that's the sort of thing. I'll give them a try.

The 2.0 supremes came up to 43?! Damn. I cycled across america on the 700c and loved them. I'd love it if they maybe a bigger 26 version

Yeah, I imagine the 700 ones are just what you want in a modern touring tyre. Partly they were just small, partly the reflective stripe made them look smaller. But the calliper measured them as 43 yeah. Not even a particularly narrow rim either. I've reverted to the spesh sawtooth I had before. New mudguards tho

Anyone know which bag and rack those are?

I have that bag. I almost never use it grabbing something else when I need a bag.

Very nice bikes.

Looks like a Nitto m18 rack

spotted in HW, said hello, lovely functional bike

Looks like a Nitto m18 rack

M18 has an adjustable “diving board” that attached to the fork crown. The rack pictured had a round tang that goes thru the fork crown and is threaded for a nut. I agree with the previous post that it’s a Compass Cycles/Rene Herse rack. UD1 I believe?

High Wycombe?

Ha. Yes. Sorry.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh omg.

I should get those tyres, look spot on.

Most excellent, that. Would look even better with the retro font logo.
Need to look into that fork for my functional dale.

Why?

To me they just don't go well with the rest -
aesthetically, as the whole bike is looking quite "firm" and ready-for-action, and those tyres look more like a leisure-mode / rubber boat (they look like inner tubes, basically).
From a functional point of view, again the whole bike looks like it's ready for some serious trips, yet the botox wheels look like they would explode if a sharp-ish stick would touch a sidewall.
