Homer update,
Getting some bars made by mr vandal metal works, brief was “touring bmx bar” so a bmx bar with heavy sweep
Will surely have gears and smaller tyres on
This spurred by one of the now regular conversations with @Thrasher in which I sit in the kitchen and mock a certain type of bike person and then realise I’m mocking myself
This time it was lamenting the sale of bikes over winter, there seemed to be a drout, joking people would be wanting a new bike for summer
“For all those bike trips they have planned”
These ultimately never formalise and are a cover for buying a new bike
Exactly what I was doing
Alas!
A quick email over to the Scottish shed meister and they knocked up a prototype, exciting stuff
It’s incredibly hard to have had a bike made for me and to have hit the nail on the head so perfectly first time, makes justifying another almost impossible,
How’s one supposed to get guilt free endorphins if their bike isn’t flawed in some niche way for a fringe use case that may or may not ever happen??
Quick change of gears or tyres, even bars can have it feeling fresh
Maybe what I need is a tall stack stem made for it and I can have the ultimate modular platform
Drop bars when???
