I think this ticks a lot of practical boxes for me.

poor mudguard installation

should have spaced the bb and fork crown mounts to get even coverage...

Pretty even except for the exit points, which is a safer way to go anyway.

Jan's Rene Herse;

Once the Elephant arrived, my frame is going back to get a new pump pegs, integrated rear light on seat tube, and custom rack.

Jan Heine's set up is extremely small compare to the others!

Yep, there's a good post about it here and some info in the comments too

For the event, food was the main issue. I carried 8 bottles of Ensure Plus meal replacement, 6 Clif Bars, a package of Clif Bloks, four packs of GU and two bars of chocolate. Spare clothing consisted of a long-sleeve wool jersey, wool tights, a lightweight rain shell and shell mittens. Plus shorts and underwear as “street clothing.” Tools were three Mafac wrenches, spoke wrench, tire levers, two spare tubes, glueless patch kit, three zip ties. Add toilet paper, sunscreen, toothbrush, dental floss, a few Ibuprofen and an emergency space blanket, plus maps and a pen and money, and you pretty much have all I carried.

Speaking of Clif Bars, I've now gotten addicted to the chocolate almond fudge favour, by the seven gods, it was fucking delicious.

Surprise he didn't take a spare tyre.

that orange tonic is amazing

The Clif bars always look incredible but I don't think I've found one without nuts yet.

(Yeah, allergies etc.)

Here's my functional bike. Set up for an Audax tomorrow.

I am quickly regretting prioritising polo over an original plan to go to Anchorage for a few weeks at the end of June :(

Go to Germany.

Everything they put on their bikes is anti as fuck, and this is coming from me who's not arsed about looks.

Massive adjustable stems set to the highest angle possible
Butterlfy bars
Foam tubing grips
Aluminium balloon frames
Sprung seatposts
Huge padded plastic saddles
Those weird tinted plastic wheel covers that kind of function like an extension of the mudguard

Oh sorry NOT anti...

The Specialised Sirrus isn't a bad looking bike

^^^^ ah wrabness, stunning bit of the world

Isn't this just because all Germans are pensioners or something? Hence electro-bikes are massive business over there - there seems to be an electro-bike shop and a hearing aid fitter in every village.

The tinted plastic things are skirt guards.

Ha! Where's that one from? These things were massive in Brazil, used to be called Barra Circular. Brought me memories!
