Ditto, I think this is the thread for my DB (Diamond Back / Dad Biek)

I'm not sure if it is a repost but the blue specialized was the vision for my girlfriend's bike and the orange is what she ended up with. Despite not living up to the initial idea, she loves it and it isn't too flashy.

Strong page, I love this thread

I prefer it to the blue one actually. Looks rowdily practical.

This might not be boogey enough but was a wankery lock and leave with humperts and city jets - RIP otima of my dreams ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

love this!

Cor this is lovely. Can't tell if this is a small frame or if it has bigger wheels. Wouldn't change a thing though.

Sub-wanker build incoming.
Once I work out how the hell I’m gonna pick this thing up from Plymouth we got a good thing going on. Seller accepted my cheeky offer so now I’m committed lol.

OX tubing, complete group and all original everything. Just needs some overpriced bars, luggage and tyres I reckon.
Is it still sub-wank if you #maintainthetriple? Or merely functional at that point?

Haven’t been luggage shopping in a while, what sort of rear racks are the right blend of bougie and affordable these days? I’ve got tubus on other bikes.
My 700c wanker has a wald basket up front but I’d like to think this would actually go further afield so what’s the rack/basket combo of winners?
I’ve got a tubus tara low rider which is also an option for the front…

I’ve got a bunch of panniers already so not looking at any bike packing luggage for this one.

Ps, someone pls buy my steamroller so I can justify this thing ;)

What's happening to us!! Also sold the roller and building this

Ha! I didn’t sell a steamroller, but I am building a radbrid along similar lines.

(Don’t worry - I’ve got a Thomson stem in the post for this)

Legacy is where it’s at for 700c radbrids, absolutely love mine. Just a shame they didn’t do one(afaik) from fancy tubing.

Yeah that’s a banger. I’m getting impatient to ride mine - need to do some golden-hour cruising around on it while it’s still summer!

Readers. Found ditched in the woods - now dripping in decathlon Altus and things that are available via next day delivery. Except the stem which I gave a baked artisanal linseed oil finish and the basket I imported at the height of the pandemic for a lot of money. It had one morning at the pumptrack before being pressed into service as the family SUV. to source daily essentials like beef skirt , swede and lard for assembling a supper of pastys whilst sipping on discounted Pinot noir and listening to jazz fm.

Peak

Parts bin build of the old Hook frameset, now in fun errand bike and macride-ready mode for the nipper...

A few shots of my Orange P7 ft a banging Leeds sunset. Recently slapped a quick coat of primer on as I got sick of looking at the shitpaint / rusting spots. Very sub-wanker hybrid low-key lock-upable bling

Fuck man, March 2023 since the last post in this thread. I’m ashamed. Everyone here should be fucking ashamed. We ARE wankers. We are THE wankers. The wankers who should be pushing this sub-wank shit, complete with Happy Meal toys and sticky ODI grips. What’s happened to you people? You and I are actually out there riding this shit. What’s happened to US?

Big fan of this Marin I sometimes see about - is it on here?

Anyone looking to part with a size small sub-hybrid? Looking for a friend!
