Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Elephant nfe is still on top of the one day I want one list.

That's the thing, long metal front is fine for oh yeah cycling audax seriousness, but not always easy.

Think this fits here as well as CP, and lowers the tone a bit with those short mudguards.
Got rid/traded the eye cancer titan MTB.
So I bought this for the price of a lock that would make my nice bikes kinda safe.

Unsafe discussions for the basic human.

@spotter that Rachel floats my boat

I bodged a pair of raceblades with extra Raw flaps, means that I get good coverage on the front and the plastic/pvc flaps you get are nice and flexible so can sometimes scrape the ground on steps or certain small curbs but as they don't follow the wheel the just flap back into place.

A week of credit card touring/spring classics in Belgium.
Corsas held up surprisingly well, but gouged my rims good and proper with the sandy wet soil.

Same here^

But my Corsas failed en route to the train on the way home.

Only photo of the bikes together captured outside Dover's number one pre-ferry destination.

I plan most of my rides to various branches of Greggs! A destination in itself.

I love that bike. Something very "right" with it.

@edscoble had one and wasn't too happy about it if I remember correctly

I know. Black and custom geometry.
If I remember correctly it was one in a series of custom 650b bikes he owned that now are all replaced by Taiwanese made gravel bikes.

Not a fan of those levers combined with the compact drops... Also tape over the hoods...

Also tape over the hoods...

Like tucking your shirt into your pants.

I loved my NFE, I just end up selling cause the saddle I now 100% comfortable with need a steeper seat tube than 73 that come with it.

Ironically I was following the rules that when custom, go for 73.

Last time I go touring with a 36-28 combo.

This is absolutely not a thing.

I thought the rule was, go for Trek geo.

I am bad at taking photos of bikes. Currently in for a bit of work but will be your typical functional rebuild when it comes back (mudguards, rack, dyno lights, 2x...)
