Nah get them blue, make them pop

How broken.

It's a 1 bolt clamp design, managed to put a crack in it just below where the bolt goes through the face plate. Wouldn't recommend riding it as is but free to anyone who can find a use for it as welding practice/ decorative napkin holder / large coat hook.

Here it is in prommuter form

How much shit are you bringing to work?!

Nice to see the Vagabond getting some love. Your's look great and I can't wait to see what @spotter comes up with!
I have tried in vain to find some nice builds for inspiration on the internet, as I am looking into building my white frameset up with drop bars again.

It's not much what I'm taking to work, it's the food shop on the way home! I can stash away lots in there.

Thanks. I like that I can reasonably quickly change out the wheels for fat rubber and put the original fork back on and head off into the hills. Although now it has mudguards that's a little more faffy.

PMd you about that

Take inspo from the two forumers whose tags i now can’t remember. One rode around Kyrgyzstan; the other Tour Divide, and possibly more challengingly the infamous Black Mountains hail-pocalypse forum bikepacking misadventure

Ahem coughs

Caren's experimenting

Remember when you said Caren was real close to getting banned..

Working on a bike with Shimano's 1982's failed attempt on a aero groupset. No big succes at all, but despite that you got to love the pursuit of innovation in those days. Frame was resprayed at home, some parts NOS, some were used. Saddle was recovered and the AX is embroided onto the leather.

There you are! Hope you’re doing well :) thanks again for letting us shelter in your van in Abergavenny...

Please tell me you've sourced the helmet. I'm sure Bioracer can make you a replica skinsuit.

That skinsuit and helmet couldn't look more Japanese. Love it.

That would really finish it off but unfortunately I don't have the helmet. Yet :)

Yet :)

Pure gold, this.

Fuck, that actually hurts.

Very good 15 pages. Best troll?

If you dont take it I will!

This is amazing! Great work. Did you do the saddle recovering yourself?

I have two other bikes with mudguards, so I'm looking to build mine up without.. Maybe even get a carbon fork like the CINQ one in time, and then fat slicks for comfort at speed.

You have done a fantastic job!

I have a Motobecane Aero2 in France which has a full Ax groupset. Took me long enough to find new hoods!!

A good friends of mine is orthopedist, he recovers saddles for me.

There another guy in Belgium who just started a business in saddles etc. You can find him at Instagram : kontour.cc . Definitely worth checking!
