Thanks for this, I honestly couldn't figure them out, have neve done any hood / bar setup before so was only trying to fix them by rotating at the stem mount.

Will still probably swap them but good to know I wasn't losing my mind.

Apologies that 30 seconds on Google didn't bring up the exact make and model of bars that belagerent has 🙂

Looks like the brake levers are already in the right position, only thing you can do is rotate the bars up a tiny bit.
Swapping sounds like a better option though

Some updates on the winter bike.

• Back to V-brakes after a little cantilever adventure.
  
• Shorter stem and Sim Works Getaround bars
  
• Still need a front rack. Can´t really decide between fitting a Wald basket on a more nimble cantipost mounted one or go for a beefier Pelago in small/medium.

Omfg. Any more photos of the process?

To the matching bicycles thread pls

Yeah, I want to see how he lengthened the head tube!

Hold on, are they two different frames?!

I thought he actually choppers and made it Full sus.

😂😂

That would be one heck of a hack though.

First one is a Ribble.

2nd one is Marino from Peru.

awesome!

Haha yes that's right!
I designed it in such a way that I could use most of the parts from the Ribble.
Still added some extra things though;
-New chainring
-Went from 2 pot to 4 pot Deore brakes
-Bigger brake disk in the rear
-Shorter stem
-Increased the fork travel from 150 to 160mm
-Chain guide

Excuse the shit phone photos. I finally cobbled this together after the frame was sat looking sad for the best part of a year. Mish mash of different bits but it rides quite nicely, I just need to sort the hood angle out. The paint has seen better days though.

drop bar mtb, ATB, whocares... should be fun anyway.

650b/27.5 wheels in this frame build for 26inch wheels, so max. tire clearance might be a bit limited. race- and speedking in 2.2 will have to do.
as usual, work in progress.
10 speed with gevenalle shifter, no high speeds with 34/11...
fork from the light blue/identiti
narrow mtb crank (156mm q factor)
pnw coast handlebar (52cm)
hope hubs and wide rims
pedals are just for first setup. hoods and drops not final.

Your chain is slack

why are you putting drop bars on? it will ride like shit

but it will look fast.

it's somehow a rebuild with an nicer ec34 frame.

Love this bike - don't let it die!

I dunno man, looks pretty butters to me
cotic designed it lovingly around a flat handlebar, embrace that

this rocks!

+1 looks sweet imo

with the aid of lots of random bolts and spacers i had in my parts box i managed to put two racks on the stupidest bike i could put two racks on, and go fishing on it

i have yet to find if the rear rack can take any real weight as i haven't caught shit
