Little too much seat post for my taste, but otherwise very good.

What size are the tyres and mudguards?

Very nice, I keep thinking that I need dynamo+lights but I can't find an LBS that can help me with the cabling...

Not my bike btw, @Kluens posted in the Commute thread.

👋 they’re 27.5 x 2.25” with the SimWorks 74mm fenders

It's easy enough to do yourself. Bike24 tend to have all the bits you need. Just need a wire strippers and maybe some heart shrink tubing

heart shrink tubing

you beast

You've convinced me, having components on your bike that you can't repair can hardly be in the spirit of this thread.

I found this that seems fairly comprehensive

It really is so fricken simple, if you go SP and B&M all you really need is something to strip the wires with.

Maybe this is the place to show off my very very practical commuter? It's practically a forum bike, got the frame (@tm89 check it out!), tyres, guards from here!

I like that! Nicely done!

It's a nice bike.. But no (dynamo) lights or luggage puts into winter road bike category for me.

Crashed forks ?

Mmh thanks good question! Do they look bent back?

It seems to be a little bit, the best would be to compare with a similar bike.
Pulling on it with the help of a friend it should come back nicely : )

How do you calculate trail on this?

Stumbled upon it on ebay while looking at orbea katu's and cannondale hooligans

Kill it with fire!

With the fairings, it looks like you've found the TT version.

Don't know if different color is helping...

But yeah, fenders, racks, infinite adjustability to a point of different sweep and height of two sides of the handlebar, integrated cable, cool lights. Would be interesting to hear from anybody who rode one. Is it the looks that people could not get behind or was it just poorly executed? I feel like such ambitious bikes should have at least some redeemable qualities.
