Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Cables again?

^^ For moorland touring stuff, any day. It's not far from a 29er with a rack and proper handlebars. I bet it's no heavier than a Salsa Fargo. The brakes would probably suck (but at least they'd not rub).

Unless you already knew the background to that bike, that's pretty much spot on, especially as the modern equative would be the Salsa but less componentray failure that plagued them in the recent years.
