Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

2 sizes to big?

there are some cheap copies on aliexexpress, unless you can convince @sensom or @Verbs_&_Nouns to send them

Is this the bike that was up for sale on here not that long ago?

Cross post with All City thread. New tyres. Wish I went with the 43’s instead of 38’s. Wasn’t sure if I would have clearance with the mudguards, but I do. Oh well. Both wheels are fucked, rims are worn and the front rim has a dent in it from bottoming out on a small ditch / gravel gutter the other day. Will be swapping wheels with the Paconi for the time being.

Where are they from?

What I’ve been reading lately is that the benefits of wider tires diminish if the rider weight is too low, kind of obvious I suppose. I’m somewhere around 67kg and am finding that 38mm is the widest I need, for road riding anyway.

I’m in the high 70’s now. I think. TBH, I just like the look of big tyres and mudguards.

Swings and roundabouts : )

In the car park at work today , mix of ultegra and Sram red wireless .

amey gets around

CSB: Rob English (♥️) used to work for Bike Friday.

We were early adopters of the BFs, sent ‘em back after two weeks due to massive flex in the BB area. This may have been rectified in later iterations.

I mean it looked well ridden but all the way to Tokyo ?

bankiren's?

Has his fingerprints all over it alright

So tangy! Rims are bonkers.

Can anyone help me to identify these bars please?
Maybe Nitto North Road?

Yeah that’s the bike, thanks for the detective work.

I did this to add bottle cage mounts to an old steel CX frame that had none. Worked well... would’ve been heaps better if I actually got the holes straight in the frame.
