Bike porn

Most stiff handelbar setup ever?

How would one service the headset?

I think the struts are bolted on through the brake hole, so release that and lift the stem off the steerer as usual

Most stiff

That's the response porn is supposed to generate 😉

That makes sense. Certainly less complicated than a removable steerer which is clamped in the fork crown as on some rob english bikes. That would also require a threadless headset.

Goddamn I love obscure Davidsons.

The shop was a joy to visit.

Hell yeah! I miss working in Fremont and being able to swing by on the regular.

Was only able to get there that one time, would like to see Seattle again someday.

Never seen those support struts on the Drop-In bars before. They probably cancel any aero gains from using the bars 🤔

Sure but this is porn, not the functional thread. And they look rad.

That's lovely. Anyone could explain the point of such high headtube?

There isn't any point, unless you think the aesthetic is better than an upward angled stem.

Dario Pegoretti liked to drop the top tube, for a smaller/stiffer main triangle.
So a bike that would have been say 58 square would have a 55 c to c seat tube, with 30mm of headtube protruding.

We used to use brake cables to cancel the flex. I think the struts are just tuning covering the cable.

Building a bike for a taller rider without compromising the stiffness of the frame. Extended HT/ST where a thing for taller pro riders for a minute.

Man, I'd do terrible things for a Sachs CX

Red ano and red tyre sides can >>>>>>>

I mean obviously. and the challenge tubs can >>>>> too.

But still

When your big ring simply isn't big enough.

Out of interest, what exactly are the advantages of a Richard Sachs cross bike over whatever the other options are?
