Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Rode those tektro hydro road lever discs and was mind blown, even with great pads, great cables, travel agent and careful setup my BB7 roads are shite by comparison.

Ditch the travel agent, my BB7 felt just as powerful as the TRP Hylex.

I have a bb7 on one bike and it's the sharpest disc I've experienced.

I have another, was on the back of the bike with the front then on front of another but neither for long do it never got bedded and felt terrible.

Inspiration for sumo maybe?

Sweet build, link?

It's a Surly with SRAM.

Anyone recognise the rack?

It looks a lot like a front rack I made from an old rear rack once. So that would be my guess.

Thought it might be...

^^ Re indeed.

^Amey, that is a road bike. There is nothing functional about it.

He just posting it in here cause he's banned from bike porn.

It works, doesn't it?

This is my favourite thread. Best bikes.
Makes me want to go away again.

Need to get a new front handlebar bag. Those bigtops are good, spotters bike rocks, but want it to be rackless as I like my front panniers. For bannas and camera.

Also really makes me want a geared town bike with sweptback bars. Look so cruisy.

Something like this?

I got one of these from Revolution bikes based on this post from this very thread.

Cheap and decent.

Jordan at Bigxtop offered to make me a bag with Klik fitting, so if you fancy one of his absolutely fookin awesome bags give him a shout.

Longer fenders = moar function.
Especially the front.

Something like this?

Bit small that. Got something similar from decathlon, but touch small.

That looks more like it, nice bracket to keep it horizontal. Thanks.

^^100%

Solid practical road bike though

Just clocked this in the 'hood. Drawn to it because it's the same geo as my Martyn Ashton Volvo CAAD3.
May be worth a cross-post in 'How not to lock your bike', but tbh every other bike I see around here is locked by the top-tube only. Good use of cable-tie on the rear wheel here.

Awesome!

Some nice set ups being profiled on the Swift blog ahead of the Oregon Outback
