Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

What I meant is that it looks like a very big step in chainring sizes, more than what your typical front derailleur is happy with. No doubt it works fine though

You're right. Similar placement but not the sort of bike you'd typically have a dynamo on. Strange

A modern front dérailleur wouldn't work, but it's an old bike with friction shifters. It might actually be a double FD.

€850 for 7 speed 🤔

Does anyone have this:

??

A modern front mech can work with friction shifting. Am I missing something?

I think they were talking about modern FD wouldn't handle the difference in teeth between rings, not actually to do with friction

Fair point, but it's not like that stops people paying silly money for contemporary Campag (& I forgot quite how crap the £ is these days!). Still a lovely bike, though.

@Yemble has done a proper functional bike.

Straight to anti, imo! But it does what I need.

For this properly set up bicycle? No way. I'd only change the bartape maybe, to blue if you want to keep it in a colour.

This is the functional thread. We are not here to judge :D

Come on now. This is lfgss, we're always here to judge.

what size is the frame Dov?

I think it's a 56 but if not then it's a 55 (TT)

Yeah, I know disc brakes are dead but I'm thinking of going disc front on my Genesis Flyer to make it a bit more fbnpna.

I'm probably not gonna find much cheaper than a Surly disc trucker fork (the 26" version has the a2c I need) am I?

Are you set on buying new?
Because you can easily get a carbon disc fork second hand for 50 quid or even less

Not necessarily set in new no, not sure I want carbon though.

Not even sure I want disc actually.

We need a dbad/rim brake support thread.

I have a surly troll fork that I bought but am not going to use in the near future.
26", 1 1/8 steerer, all the mounts, etc.
Happy to let it go for £50 + postage from london

Boom ^ problem solved

A2c is like 50mm too long.

ok !

That looks like Denmark. Is this yours?
