this is the vibe.... but obviously no squish and proper handle bars
@josh yes...... but a wee bit slacker and longer
how is this different than the homer??
well if you've ever tried to ride the homer round a switch back on a trail....lmaooooooo it's just "BRRRRRRRPPPPP....stanky leg...... bear trap pedal going into my shin ..... the sound of me falling into a bush"
which is very good, and i think will be better single speed when i can just ride it over kerbs and round parks, the occasional forest loop. a 29r bmx. .... single speed... thomson 6bolt....stooge bars.... soooooooooooon
but i think i'd like a limo, something luxurious to just carry me over fire roads, cycle lanes, down hills when i'm tired and i just want to go home. maybe it has gears, maybe it can be ran without gears.
i think what i liked about the old raleigh, all those pages back, as mentioned before is it was just plush, i would like something plush again....but capable of going down hills.
as @yoshy pointed out, something like a modern gravel bike, maybe somehwere between a modern gravel bike and a rigid hard tail ala ALICE/bigbro/karate monkey, 29r,
@BareNecessities bike caad is very close... maybe a segmented straightblade fork if we're going this direction and less cross check
this is fun tho, sure next week i will want a gravel tricycle or like..... "a 29r track bike"
