Csb ;-)

Just because the seller forced you away :P

just had to put fatter tyres on it. 25mm doesnt do it for me on a gangsta.

^ Very much likey.
Thinking about getting an OS stem and compact drops for the switch around

Put in another 75 or so miles on my gangsta today, including some real fun trails in Epping forest.

anyone got pics of a V2 with drops?

This is mega awesomes and the 5inch bars arent really long distance bars..

Check Dimi's instagram.

But I have done two or three high mile rides with my big wide risers and been fine.

I just tried drops on mine today:

gangsta + easton cross fork: win win

Don't forget SRAM levers too.

So good! Rad gangsta build. Indra, you know what to do.

Fuck off.

I'm enjoying mine 100% how it is.

Bit aggressive. You can have more than one cockpit ya know!

Skrtlv>>>>

:)

The seta is really my 2 cockpit bike, hooded drop action is fun but I need a bit of wide riser riding in my life everyone now and then.

Here's mine after a long day's rolling.

Excuse the super shit photo but my hands were pretty dead from all the vibrations riding around the trails on rigged as fuck forks.

Yeah yeah!

It's not the width, its the height. And I like the idea of this being such an easy bike to adjust to the job.

Thinking about Deda Elementi and some Ritchey Classic Curves.
Swap between the risers for around town and when filming. Drops for longer rides and comutes.

Maybe stick get some carbon forks further down the line.

Im so stoked now on how this is such a frame for life.

Could easily work till my knees give out and I need 2 brakes.

I spoke with Eamesy today on how it would look with alpinas and drops, is there anything like that on the net?

^^get a brake and don't let your knees get to that state :-)

^^ I was thinking that.
The cluster has a 32mm and the Alpina track fork 30 so shouldn't fuck with geometry tooo bad.

JB maybe down the line but it makes it less easy swapping bars about init.
And iz less radpointz

Nah it will, cluster has way more clearance and that counts tons.

You'll have a fair bit more BB drop and a much steeper headtube.

Haha didnt even think of that..
Hmm... may have a play around on cad..
To be honest that'll be much further down the line as i can hardly afford the bars and stuff anyway

with gangsta's ht lenght you could get suitable alpinas for less than 40 quid.
yeah quite curious, but more IRL examples

less radpoints might be one, but, more importantly, brakeless makes you more aware of what's going on around you and you learn the streets quicker
