Crust Romanceur. I hate road bikes edition.

The video is good though!

It's funny, to me the Arundel cages look like a slightly less shit version of the 5 pound (pre-inflation) PlanetX cages. It's probably the other way round but I like neither of them and much prefer the Kings.

Fuck u man get outta here with that shit

😈

When I’ve recovered from this financially, I’ll probably try to buy some Nitto R cages tbh.

Say it ain't so

the £5 PX cages are better than King

I've tried them both and strongly disagree. But I appreciate you feel compelled to say this to keep up your contrarian counter culture persona.

It’s an anti-buyer facade, like an extreme religious convert

Haha #rep

also had both; king mark bottles like mad and taking bottles in and out is also a pain, iris especially bad

Great!!

@JB this has turned out fantastic!

Yeah, this all hangs together really nicely. Those levers are may favourite for traditional drop bars. Big #tripleenvy. Let us know how it handles!

true

I may have a pair of Nitro R cages at work that are surplus and could go for slightly less than RRP

Is there something about the geo of these bikes that encourage people to put the nose of the seat in the sky? For someone with crazy attention to detail there must be a reason you put it at an angle you'd find wildly unacceptable on any of your other bikes. Even your stump jumper saddle with its almost unsettling mould of your bum looks more level

That was actually an issue with the tension bolt on the saddle. It was too loose. Looks like this now and I stole that saddle for this bike anyway. They’re supposed to fit be angled this way. Noob.

Goddamnit

Some better photos.

That’s why they’re excellent for off road.

Mwah! Beautiful. So clean. Get some drought dust on that thing stat :)

I am going back to the UK for two weeks tomorrow so it's gonna have to wait :-((((((

Great job! Really nice build:)

IQ-XS is around 45€ as well and a much better looking light imo
