Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Rear light is way too obscured for my liking on the orange bike

God Daaaym. Anyone knows what bars those are? Shallowest rando bars i've seen.

was not expecting that. nice one

I want to know how much it weight now.

I also love the little switch on the downtube shifter to shift the chain onto the chainrest, a very very useful feature IMHO;

haven't Bishop been building that one for ages?

Yep, was it you who linked the weight weenie forum about that bike?

beer holder is good idea, but the old posty bikes are better as you can fill it with a crate and not just six haaaaa

no

Mud-friendly tyres and no mud clearance?

Lovely.

That front rack fits so fecking well.

Awesome! it does fit so well, I hated it when certain front rack fit way too high.

Those are top quality racks too. A popular option for fatbikes.

I'm looking to build myself a Donkey bike with a rack on the front to strap my camera bag to to make it a bit easier to lug around along with other bits. I've noticed that most bikes with a front rack have canto brakes, do normal road brakes not fit? I'll probably get some old complete road bike and chop and change to suit my use, would be easier for me to keep the wheels and brakes it comes with and just change the bars, levers and add racks etc.

I'd have thought they use canti's so there is room for big tyres, which probably won't fit with standard road calipers.

^^ saw a cargo bike like that in york last week, looked like the guy was having fun on it, whilst towing a heap of stuff.

MIght have to put a rack on front of hack bike as I've now wrecked two rear wheels (axles and alignment) thanks to me being a bit ambitious with what an old road frame + zero dish track wheel can take. meanwhile the front is fine
