  • thanks pals!

    annoying part of owning a crosscheck is every 12 months you can just put different sized tyres and handlebars on it and suddenly it does something entirely different, making justifying a new bike impossible

    might ride it this weekend, little pootle round the block it was v pleasent

  • the saddle bag is quite fun

    it's attached with 3 voiles, some foam spacers and these saddle hooks i got from fresh tripe

    https://freshtripe.co.uk/velo-orange-saddle-loops/

    i was skeptical of this method, but luckly it seems quite secure and is much cheaper than the alternatives such as hobo pieces.

    ofc the bagman is an option but the person who gave me this bag did so while telling me how he developed ptsd trying to get the wizard works bag to sit neatly in one

  • Fuck yeh this bike is so good.

  • so much better than a bagman support, pls keep it. *whispers also puts the weight closer to the centre of gravity and more weenie

  • bike is looking ace! tbh I think it's on WW to commission a run of custom bagman-a-likes inspired by https://www.clandestine.cc/custom-bikes/elizabeths-atb/

  • wanna "riv up" the boyfriends ogre :thumbs_up:

  • i bought it to ride over winter but then realised i don't want to ride my bike over winter - in the summer i can ride my other bikes

    great bike, all you need for epping mtb wise, don't let the dentists and bankers at the cake stops fool you

  • good point, fuck winter riding also

  • Yep, a full sus will make much more sense for a summer only bike

  • People will go to amazing lengths to not fit a pannier rack

  • The crosscheck has all the right parts, but the colour on the frame is just too sensible and not very cheerful. If that changes it’s a winner

  • yowamushi pedal tho

  • fwiw folders and other smaller wheels seem pretty gay, would be nice to build a dawes kingpin or raleigh 20 one day.

  • cotic is sold, went to @George , looking forward to seeing him ride it about - had a lovely conversation about bikes and a mutual hand wringing about "liking bikes, not so much riding them in a conventional manner"

    but he did let me know about the lordship pumptrack , looks ace???! hopefully get over there one lunch break for a coffee and loop, or after work as evenings get brighter

    as for the next bike i'm enjoying the moral and emotional superiority of only having 2 of them knocking about, so nothing just yet , maybe if the right bargain pops up over summer

    i was talking to friends about it would be cool to have a 26'' bmx, steep head angle, high bb and all, with disc brakes, a dropper and cargo mounts (DEFINATELY NOT A 26'' MTB OR A SURLY 1X1) but luckily noone is making these

    crust wombat 🤔🤔🤔 sort of not really

  • How about a Bemix? Not strickly correct... but also I bet if you asked them, they'd do it with discs. Maybe. Or probably not. Hard to tell.

  • Can confirm lordship pumptrack is a lot of fun, just watch out for the (v cute) balance bikers

  • Was great to meet you and chat about bikes! Will hopefully take the Cotic up to Epping soon

  • wanted an S&M bike for ages, was actually looking at these for ages but decided the fork decision was just too annoying . before the homer was painted like letty's 240sx it was going to be atf trans red

    remember riding my 2000's dk six pack or easton trail digger wishing i had an S&M, both lovely in their own right tho

    @samrensho sadly that is far too slack; weirdly, 650b??!?!?! unridable

    @atz ahahaha this is great

    @yak they will be faster than me, they'll be the ones having to watch out for my bimbling ass

  • made this while watching hasan
