Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Get in touch with breakaway, from what I've seen on their FB and instagram page, their custom work is pretty nice.

Good shout, I'll give him a holla

If you end up cross chaining a lots, get a smaller big ring like a 48 or a 46, you'll able to use the smaller cog on the cassette more.

Or stop trying to stay in the big ring all the time.

I was planning on dropping from 53t to 50t

^^^ dat scoble saddle angle!? Good bike though, Spats. Much function.

Speaking of which I need to get those 28c tyres to you.

As has been much repeated, its the standard angle for brooks. If only you'd open your anus to the comfort of leather young jibbles.

And in answer to my question about ortleib and the soma,

they do but its a tight fit and it'll need some tweeking.

Gotta say I actually like those forks on that bike.

I know spotter, just trolling you. I am think of getting a C17, or a B17. My mind has not yet been made.

bike is not level, it's not so bad if you tilt your head

Oh jb... How you've changed!

Crazy isn't it. Crazy!

C17 < Kurve

since the money is the same; you might as well save some weight (if it matters) and put a modern saddle on a modern bike

And since you are a prolly fan: http://prollyisnotprobably.com/2012/11/beautiful-bicycle-my-argonaut-road/#27

;)

I take your Prolly, and raise you a Prolly. http://prollyisnotprobably.com/2013/11/product-review-brooks-cambium-c17-saddle/

C17 would look better on the Genesis IMO. And it's less fragile. Scoble, how are you finding the C17 so far?

C17 is £100, Kurve a hella more than that, don't tell porkie uh may.

Not ridden it yet let alone paid for it, will try it on the Genesis Flyer soon.

Coming upgrades will be:

• compressionless outter between the levers and twin v
  
• Surly disc trucker forks
  
• new garmin mount
  
• rear mudflap
  
• new big ring as i've shark toothed the current one
  
• possibly 28c tyres
  
  
  

Out of interest, why the change of fork?

No rack eyelets on those forks and i think racked ones will look nicer

product review innit; not on his own bike.

eBay (and bikeradar) is filled with used Kurves; last one I got I paid £70

Since you are already finding antares comfortable Kurve Chameleon will be better choice over C17 as you wont change the shape of saddle but just introduce flex to it.

#modernsaddle

Why don't all tourers use them then? Err the Pugsley is his bike

I wonder why!

JB, once I paid for the C17, I'll lend it to you to try it out, you can try the Kurve from Condor as well.

Do you def want steel forks? A pair of these: http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_175019_-1

With disc mounts, mudguard mounts and canti mounts would do the trick - mount a rack to the canti mounts and run your discs and guards as usual.

If you want to see how you get on, a cheap rack from sjs would get you started:

Or a posh job from VO:

I'll be sticking with steel, hence me getting the disc trucker forks. There are plenty of racks I can use without canti-eyelets

Would be great, if I didn't have the twin V

An interesting rack free handlebar bag:

I'm not sure about the straps round the fork legs, but it is a nice little design.

If I was to get a bar bag my first choice would be the ortleib ultimate

Or the Carradice Super C.

I like that ortleib make a camera insert
