Brother doing a direct crust ripoff

Surly Pack Rat rip off, surely?

Umm, not sure I'd count it as a ripoff - it's basically a good ole classic steel bicycle just with more clearance.

Crust might've started the whole instagram build trend and styles/smiles instead of miles attitude but it's not something super innovative or unique that would make it a ripoff.

Also Crust is more in the US market and they're a little bit harder to get in Europe so it might be a good strategic step.

I also like the way it looks.

Part of me thinks, who buys this hipster shit...the other part of me thinks, let's buy one.

coming back to this "mr wooden", it gives me the exact energy of like.....velo orange

just something uncanny about it, functionally fine, but it's like it's an alien in a humans body - dunno - simulacrum of the bike you want, just feels... off
