Anyway, looks like a decent bin-find.

AHHAHA This was funny!

double dropped chain-stays for symmetry?

That is glorious. I miss the Alps

That's very nice

The bar tape looks like caterpillars

Your bags are in the wrong place.

Brown thing with orange parts is quite something.

Are you suggesting this for the Alps or Surrey hills?

You seem to have a tiny cow caught in the spokes of your wheel

I like the way they've bent the chainstays in a way that actually reduces clearance rather than increasing it. Very form over function.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how wrong is actually liking that? Asking for a friend.

I recognise every one of these photo locations, you actually went past my house! csb

Superb. Some decent riding around Berko. Just wish there were some longer trails you didn't have to 'stitch together' as it were. 80% of my riding is on the road, but I reckon the % would switch round if I lived somewhere like the south downs (or the Alps, like the pics posted earlier!)

Well nice but not into the black cassette.

You’d require the steeper seat tubes version to use an SMP.

It’s not all rosey in the Alps, most dreamy gravel roads lead up a 1000m dead end to a farm. And at this time of year, avoiding landslides and avalanche debris is quite difficult!

I mean, the vibrations on from the tyres, even on smooth road, will prob be enough to throw the chain off that 30 year old chainset, but there is still something I like about that.

Trying to keep a chain on that era of single ring chain sets was hell on earth, I remember folks running crazy chain guard/things and chains still finding their way off.

That is really cool. Did the paint yourself?

I have a spare derailleur hanger if you want, in north london. Otherwise it’s S172600003 that you want to get.

I think those are Syntace bullhorns for the rear rack. Genius. And is the stem on the seatpost replacing the seat clamp? This is a freethinking build.
