Names and faces to bikes

It's not exactly a retail zone, is it? :)

Sounds awesome! Couple questions if I may.
Did you have a brake on while touring? and what gear did you use?

All brakeless with risers? respect

You mean the Italy flag?

Sunday morning market, probably was Italian, and yeah, Leamington spa parade.

Looks pretty orange-ish on my monitor. Saw the flag and the dirty Transit and the fact that the setup looks more condusive to selling pirated copies of Gravity than pesto and balsamic reduction.

Awesome skant! have a write up of your tour anywhere?

^^^ What he says. Start a thread!

agreed, a year in mexico and usa. brakeless and fixed.

jesus fucking christ. MAN to the power of ten.

whatever life throws at you from now on. will be piss easy.

Sorry to disappoint y'all biggin' up the brakeless touring, I had a front brake and these bars: with an inverse lever. It was a a comfy set-up once dialled in. That terrain is no joke and tbh I don't think it would be doable brakeless, certainly not with luggage on board.

When you say gear, you mean gearing or equipment? I was running a fixed - fixed hub, 48x17 99% of the time but had a 15t cog on the other side that I would switch to for long descents (e.g. Lake Tahoe to Sacramento, 100mile downhill), guaranteed flat sections or if I fancied really putting the work in.

Awesome skant! have a write up of your tour anywhere?

I don't but have been meaning to for a long time, I kept a diary but no blog as I was off the grid for the most part. I'll start a thread and add chapters as and when the motivation grabs me.

Few updates:

Hi.

Cześć Alexandr

Hej-hej :)

Names and balaclavas to bikes.

Where's Tommy (The Brick) when you need him?

I hear he's big in oil and gas these days.

Think Frankie Boyle in a stetson.

hi

Hello,

You need a bigger Rossin frame mate. ;)

Try mine.

Ты случайно не со Львова? Видел там недавно белый россин с флайтом. Йоу.

Haha, thank you, but 56cm top tube is just perfect to me! Your Rossin is still pure and fresh when mine is rusty, has re welded drop outs, crack on seat stay..

Thanks to google I'm able to understand your message, Router :)) There should be loads of them left somewhere in Russia or post-soviet countries. My friend got this one from Russia two years ago but now I'm using it. And yes, I live in Vilnius, have never been in Ukraine.

Wow. Anyway- post-soviet :)
I wouldn't say there are loads of them here, but you can catch one from time to time if you're lucky enough. Anyway- great bike man!

^^^^^ Sweet Rossin.

^^^^ Sweet Russian.

Fixed.

Не, во Львове другой, с бараном.
