MAJs gay bikes [she’s in her fitness era]

thank you!

it'll be pink grips (i am quite fond of the pink merle went with), the tape is for the chain stay. eventually it'll have a red headset and red accented saddle. paired with mis-match cable spares and the green of the paint it should be uncomfortably clashing together

kind offer on the shifters! it has one already on there, a nice suntour. inerestingly i took it out for a little spin, as i thought it right to finally ride it; I am learning about the value of practice in addition to theory

Theoretically? Dt friction ideal

Practice? Oh yes I love fucking my gears up mmm please clank more… no not quite… uhhh… that’ll do

people who design their bikes for efficiency and ergonimcs please read no further

im sure i'll learn the nuance in time, i kind of like the idea that shifting is an inconvinence? and having a cleaner cockpit. something i liked about the homer when it was single speed was how nice it was just to have 2 break levers on the bars, same with the pomp, it felt "fun" and "nimble" visually even if it rode the same. i guess this allows this but with the convinence of the gears when needed

functional bike builders please continue reading

taking it for a spin i was shocked at how much it felt like a 4130 steel bike, like all the others i've ever had, the two pomps, the kepler, now this. little weighty, nothing exciting, reasuring. has 32s on the moment but maybe they need a little air out. after riding the alu one for the little amount of riding ive done in the last month and then to this? really drove home how silly my insistance on heavy all steel bikes is, but also, how they just feel and look so right regardless.

anyway here is a pic i took for prosperity, the lever position please ignore, we know it's a crime, i just wanted to ride around in relative comfort
