Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I think this is what you're looking for.

Defintely an AWOL! especially the headset and front rack.

Brilliant, thanks.

I rode with this guy on the Dynamo last year - super chill and made me want to throw away all my carbon.

my thinking exactly, how it should be.

Fucking horror show tyres though. Ran them for a whole year before I realised the error of my ways. At 26" they were 800g each. EACH.

Maybe I'll reconsider my Marathon Mondials again...

Under 600 so not so bad. No idea why people run such heavy tyres. Just go tubeless since tyre tech has come a long long way.
I've ran furious freds for two years without a single puncture.

I have them in 55-559 flavour which are about 850g each :)

I can't hate you because you're better then all of us and riding around the world. May your PSI always be rounded off the the highest digit!

@edscoble I'm not sure crossing Waterloo bridge constitutes an "adventure".

You're still welcome to join me btw. You should!

Victoire has been on fire lately!

There's a detailed and honest write-up on their website about the changes they made from their Concours de Machines's winning bike last year to the version above.
I hope TA will make a production version of that crankset.

Actual, out-loud "wow"

I prefer last year's winner that had correct type of brakes ;)

@amey no bar-tape. Tut-tut.

Victoire said the trad fork design with curved blades does not really work with discs. It was about time somehow said it out loud...

Winston has said it loud in his workshop couple of times when I had the urge .. just not on instagram.

Got a link @Lolo? Had a quick scan but couldn't find the article

As in all curved disc forks are bad? Surely not? Would surly make them?

Merci

Nor do I think that riding plish plosh carbon fancy bike in full skin suit constitutes a "time trial" but there we go!
