Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

thanks, me too.

my original installment of that feature.

Good deals on Niner: http://www.ninerbikes.eu.com/closeouts/

Just ordered an RLT9 x_x;; Going to replace this down in the Alpujarras. Too late for this year's trip and attempt at the gravel side of Pico de Veleta but will certainly be ready for next year. Thinking 105 in black with the new Praxis 48/32 Zayante. 1-1 ratio for some of the nastier climbs in the area.

I have those praxis cranks with 50/34 with BB and tools, PM me if you are keen.

Couldn't resist at that price... 53cm RLT on its way...

2017 Bombtrack Arise looks interesting:

Now with disc brakes. Front and rear rack and guard eyelets. Despite being sold as an SSCX bike it has a rear derailleur hanger & cable routing so it can be converted into something more tour-y, plus I imagine it's not too expensive.

@amey Thanks but with 50/34 I'll probably stick with the groupset crank. The praxis 48/32 requires a new spider (and rings obviously) so to go with that it's probably makes as much sense to pick one up new.

Or Spa Cycles Super Compact chainset for £60

Isn't that just an Andel triple with a bash guard?

Pretty much but least the option is there, order one for my girlfriend bike (46/30).

Yes! I'm going to build something like this soon

I need those fucking tyres!

any knowledge of what dis is? Thought it might be VO but can't match it to any of their frames...

edit: did a click through, found out.

First bike I've seen that actually look normal with disc brakes.

Look custom to me.

Edit: do share, currently on mobile.

Looks like owner made it themselves. Not a pro it seems, more a hobbyist.

Custom rotors

Yaaaaassssss lovely. Straggler fork?

Looks like it

Pretty sure it's a 26" disc trucker fork

Looks great in real life, Will's made a few tweaks recently to finish it off...

Anyone got the straggler 650? What do you reckon the fork clearance with 700c tyres?

A little less, definitely 700 x 28 for sure, maybe 35?

Need to calculate it.

Cheers Ed, would be great if you could.
Aiming for 35 at least, 40 would be great.
