Hulsroy's Hustle

In UK (Glasgow) and interested in a Nalgene cage. Can get one from Freshtripe for 44.45. Will it work out cheaper than that?

Back in Denmark after a really enjoyable and successful weekend.
It was a pleasure to meet @Pish in real life and see him with his new Whip. It made me really proud seeing him engage with Bespoked visitors drooling over his new bike and bags.
And as always it was a joy to hang out with @Tijmen aka Best Bagmaker™ and @JesperXT who won the award for Best Friend and Driver/Builder/Provider Extraordinaire™.

My fav bike on the forum.
Congratulations Hulsroy, and @Tijmen for the award :)
and @pish for having good taste

I know I say this a lot, and I mean it every time, but this really is a perfect bike.

I should add that anybody wanting a cool custom frame should talk to @Hulsroy.
The whole process has really been enjoyable.
Mads has been super transparent all along on what he did and how he did it, very patient with me and my numerous questions, taking every idea in consideration and implementing them in the neatest way possible.
We went back and forth a lot on every detail, and I think it really shows in the end product.

I see you are now PLP famous, will you ever talk to us again? <3

Hands.... hands... hands... hacksaw... computer

You and @Tijmen (and also you @Pish) deserve every plaudit, outstanding stuff

For someone looking for cages: I still have a set to sell, unused, one was mounted but they lower too much for my Fairlight. lmk

Nalgene size cages?

Been sketching up my daughters next bike. I am way more excited about kids bikes these days...

20x2.2" tyres and if the stars align - electronic gears!

That is sick

Speccing electronic gears for ease of use?

I think there is a pretty sound case for single speed on kids bikes

FTFY

Single speed doesn't cut it anymore. She's able to climb in the right gear but she needs a bigger gear to keep up in the flats. And actually her shifting is getting better recently.
I can't say much yet, but there might be a fun blip blop project happening. It's early days.

Looking forward to the first Pinion Smart.Shift kids bike ;-)

Has she signed off on the colour?

I dont know what blip blop means.

Di2. Not as silly as it sounds on a kid's bike actually, makes a lot of sense ergonomically.

I can't comment on anything really. But the tennis ball colour was deamed UGLY earlier. She wanted Baby Blue. We shall see who wins!
I think I will persuade her with some Tijmen magic bags

I will not be doing Pinion unless they the present me with a four figured offer. I just don't see the charm

Yes ish. The issue here is obvs cost. But that's what we are working towards sorting out

AXS but you're going to have the shifter on your bike? :D

I found this out accidentally and you are right!

The issue here is obvs cost.

If it wasn't I'll ask you to make another one for my own 5yo ;-)

There's so few good geared 20" kids bikes out there unfortunately.
