Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Good call on the 7402s, I’m thinking
those or superbe pros for the Kish…

I like the idea of this set-up. I reckon, what Josh said, 115mm would be fine. A 116mm BB is not hard to find though.

Very nice!

Nice! What torque plate did you use for the Rohloff? How wide of a BB did you have to use with those DA cranks to get a 57mm chainline?

Nice touch with the Tern rack.

I'm using a 118 mm token bb. Before the Rohloff I was using an Alfine 8 with the chainring mounted inside of the crank and the chainline was spot on. For the Rohloff I just put the chainring outside, it's not quite 57, but I didn't experience any problems running a subpar chain line. I rather have a smaller q factor.
For the torque plate I'm running the pm monkey bone with 180 rotors front and back. The easiest and cheapest way, just don't pull the brakes completely, or you go over the bars.

amazing; if i ever buy this stupid bike it will get a rohloff

can i ask why single stay on rear guard?

Phwoar

only sensible choice is a Rohloff, everything else is just mockery for this high performance touring frame

I cut the stay just for the looks, don't like the double stay of the bluemels

Anyone got a carradice bagman saddle support spare or for sale?

Got gave an old carradice bagman that would be nice to use

While we're on functional tiny bikes, these turned up yesterday! Really hoping they play nice with the forks...

That's very good, don't quite get the BB7, but maybe it was available/free.

I'm worried about the rear clearance

Maybe it's a dry weather -desert -peyote-bike?

Owner is in Oz

Makes sense

on't quite get the BB7, but maybe it was available/free.

be kind. thank you.

I love that! Looks like rad fun.

It's a nice bike, well at home here! The only thing that I'd change if it was mine would be matching bottle cages. Also, is the feather meant top be there or is it the remains of an un-lycky avian?

no bird was harmed by me. just a feather on the trail somewhere kept as "souvenir".

Very nice - those frames are so versatile.

Really good.
