Crust Romanceur. I hate road bikes edition.

yessir. dropped it off a couple of weeks ago but they've been slammed. picking it up tomorrow.

Well that answers one important question: arundel

Arundel forever. I’ve had these cages since like 2015. They always scrub up great and they look miles better than King’s IMO, which literally look like $5 Blackburn cages.

Hard agree, also incredibly easy to get bottles back on them. I keep coming back to them

Rides great. Just how I had hoped.

Nice job.

You’re not wrong but its a bit low to rate King’s, well.. low!

Why? They look shit, they're functionally worse than other cages and their main USP of 'don't scratch your bottles' is a total lie.

Re front light, I'm heading back to the UK/Europe for the first time in 3 years on Monday, so I will take advantage of the weak Euro (compared to the dollar) and order something then. I probably won't buy a Son though tbh. Never loved the Edelux beam pattern and don't really want to spend that much either. Will probably end up with a B&M Luxos of some kind.

Banging.

Luxos are great. Fan of my IQX as well. Luxos get massively overlooked.

I don't mind the way King cages look, they're better than Blackburns, beefier steel, so don't bend as easily.
I am with you on the ' don't scratch your bottles ' being total bollocks, grit, dust on any cage will scratch a bottle.

Looking great! Will hopefully check it out in person in a few months time.

Looks good that. Bar tape is on point. I’m thinking about one of those blue lug lights for the rear too.

Silver IQ X?

Oh, no no no. I’m thinking like €45 type jobbies.

Yes! I was thinking about you earlier today actually once I got home with the bike and thought, if you’ll have me, that I could ride a section with you as you leave Los Angeles - maybe even stay at the same campground as you, then ride home the next day.

Of course! Everyone welcome

both were literally designed after a T.A. Criterium cage, you philistine. 💔

that being said..nice bike!

JB Bike24 no longer ship to the UK in case you were gonna buy and have it delivered over here. Sux

Oh thanks YAL. That's good to know. I wonder if Starbike do... if not, I can have it delivered to my hotel in Italy.

oh my god lol I am so used to being able to import up to $800 worth of stuff to the U.S. for free from anywhere in the world that I forgot all about post Brexit import duties and tax and shit into the UK loooool

Edit: only save 5 yaro's by ordering it to Italy versus the U.S.... so.. won't even bother.

I like this bike, what I dont like is a shit low res pic?!

I know I know. It was snipped from the shops story. I didn’t take one myself post bar-tape. Will take one tomorrow.
