Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

This has actually ruined looking at bikes for me

What does that mean?

Yes!

you don't want to know

so lonely in my ignorance

Haha!

Paint damage on the chainstay confused me for a sec and I thought both crank arms were in the drive side lol
Solid bike though.

Rode to the farmshop and followed this in, ridden by a chap in his seventies. Top work sir.

Bike packing at its best!

Instinctively looked at the hood angle and bar placement, damn you @Hulsroy !

Good bike though.

You are welcome

Superb

Paint was actually just ground off when the chainstays were repaired. The welder said they looked like lace, full of small holes. Good thing they were still salvageable.

Guess I can post my Pompino now that I've popped in for a visit. Dual brakes, fixed gear. Using this as my main commuter right now. Thinking about adding some surplus 1x10 gears to it and retiring the Cannondale all together from active use.

How were you thinking of adding the 1x10? With frame mods to the dropouts? I was thinking of adding some gears to mine. Was thinking about maybe squeezing a 126mm 7 speed hub in.

I would cold set the rear to 130mm so I could fit a regular road hub. Probably something like a Shimano RS400 so I could swap out the narrow qr-axle for a wider track axle and use track nuts. Wouldn't want that rear axle to slip because of a quick release.
I'd also braze on a derailleur hanger and some cable guides/stops. Maybe even a tiny piece of steel or brass tube to act as a brake cable guide at the seattube instead of the Kona clamp guide.

I don’t know if this is supposed to go here but here it is anyway

like it.

This has been through many iterations, but I'm happy with its current form

strong page so far

Tiny cassette, skinny tyres and massive heavy front end?

Any idea what the fork is?

Come on Ed, it's your misplaced disdain of Ortlieb that's talking.
