Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

JB bring ends gangster back, it was rad.

Kirth have it last, he's in SF.

Back to considering a BJ Audax End-End hmm.

altho thats the same price as the Wide Open + Thorn Aadax fork

Their tiny frame have a very steep seat tube, also they're not keen on releasing their geometry spec for you to look at sadly (BJ).

the vigorelli fits my great though?

You should let other people judge how great thy though is.

I forget you have a BJ, the gel of the Talbot made it look smaller than it is.

I spend a long time finding an idea small frames in the past hench why, if your current BJ fit you like a glove, then the audax model will (base on my Dad's Vigorelli and Audax).

This is pretty fucking awesome;

such potential

I'm thinking of a massive framebag, but wondering how it'll handle with a crosswind...

you could probably get a whole bike bag in there!

^^ tacking skills required

Put a hammock in there, maybe a little portable tv and a dynamo powered fridge!

Such trackstand?

Just bought a rear rack from Wilko for a tenner.

It feels pretty solid - will report back when I've covered some miles.

This is now for sale - it's served it's purpose of getting me from San Francisco to Los Angeles, thought I'd put it up here before I put it up in classifieds. A great ride. Comes as seen along with the addition of a Tortec Ultralite rack. The front rack is a Tubus Tara. I'd want around £450 for it complete.

Full specs are here:

The finishing kit has changed to a Bontrager stem and a 3t inline post and as saddles are so personal it wouldn't include one. Though I can include a Brooks C17 for an additional £70 or a fairly heavily used Fizik Antares VS for £25… PM me if you're remotely interested in the bike or anything on it.

I do miss that bike, but gotta wait for V2 to arrived first (ironically with Sora component again).

such potential

lol!

may be interested in wheels if you fancy splitting

If I split I'd probably keep the wheels for the ECR in case I ever want something lighter than the Rabbit Holes/second wheels with Big Apple's.

Oliver, if you want to speak about it, we can work something out as you're a good egg. There's nothing wrong with the bike, but I want to off road tour from now on (didn't really enjoy my on road tour) - hence the sale. I'll be putting the money towards a fast road bike as I miss being able to ride quickly.

I'd take the Tara too.

will you just have a brompton and the ecr then JB ?

For a short time period, yes - until I can afford a Canyon/CAAD10 or something similar.

brompton 70 milers ahoy.
