Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

...triple? :)

Find me some 5800 triple shifters and i'm all over that!

4700?

Well now theres an idea - I was considering going for a roadlink and getting a mahoosive cassette, or perhaps just a super compact crankset for a while.

In fairness, 4700 is 10spd so you'd need a new cassette too.
Super compact is a better bet if you're tied to 11spd already.

Unsubscribed.

eh?

Surely no one would describe that as functional? Looks like more of a hassle than not having one to me

^ That's hundreds of thousands of euro bikes proven wrong then, just an affectation I suppose.

To be honest, for a lot of people it's just an excuse not the oil their chain. Or tension it. Or care about their bike at all.

Well a near-completely enclosed case made out of leather is a bit of an exception

I'm a big fan of the triple on my Bottecchia. Rides like a road bike on the large and medium ring but it's really nice to have a small ring when climbing trails in the woods. Still haven't managed to make it more functional, too many projects...

A quick escalation to be sure.

It looks like pleather over a partial metal chaincase.

You'd be surprised by just how little the average danish joe cares about bike maintenance.
A lot of people just take their bikes to a bike shop once a year for a new chain instead of lubing the one they have, and I had to tighten the front wheel of one of my fellow (engineering - sigh) students. It was loose enough to come out of the fork.

Damn them and their lack of proper worshipfulness in the hallowed presence of two wheels and a microdrive.
No, I get it, when people think of bikes as pure transport they don't baby them, and it means less time spent maintaining if they just take a once per year visit to the bike doc.
Out here it's more like a once per year visit to the Walmart.

nice! what bike is that green one?

+1 It looks perfect!
