You guys may not realise this but by speaking out and building this bike I've become a target for extreme harassment. Several times when I've been stopped at the lights people on rim brake bikes have looked at me and once someone even said "nice bike" but I think they were being sarcastic. It has taken a toll on my mental and even physical health.
It had actually gotten to the point that I was going to sell this on. Also it's a bit too blingy for a commuter / lock up and getting a dynamo wheel for it would be kind of expensive (for a lock up).
However, in what may have been a false flag attack, my retro hip cranked 26er basket bike was destroyed when I roof racked it into a low bridge, so this Qanon bike is going to have to take its place. I would kind of preferred to get an old rim brake 700c touring bike for the cheapness/lack of steal ability, but they all have threaded headsets and I'm scared of them.
Bars have been swapped (these are too fucking long)
