Disc brakes are dead

No.

No surprise

either that or ' do a @6pt ' (put it in loft and forget about it)

Sell it to me I will love it

I don't forget about them! I just don't ever get them out again.

Does the bike come with the inherent mockery it deserves?

sure? i can do cheap

DBAD never made it to the colonies.

Despite all the jokes and the Sora... I'd think it a great little travel bike.

I agree it is. But I wont be travelling for a while, at least not for solo cycling holiday (young baby) plus who knows when I can go back home with COVID.

I am just going full Mary Kondo atm.

Like most gravel bikes aren’t ridden much on gravel, I don’t think this travel bike has traveled.

Just had an email from hebtroco

What's the DBAD Strap about then?

Chris Richards, Brant Direct - HVS 5a, Central Buttress, Clogwyn y Grochan, Llanberis, North Wales
August 1969
My dad used to climb in Llanberis, and a year before I was born, he climbed a route called "Brant Direct", and told his fiancé (my mum) that if they had a son, he'd like to call him brant.
And they did. And as a name, it's been a blessing and a curse, but I wouldn't be called anything else.

Just landed today are the final part in our DBAD Keystrap, a climbing grade carabiner, made by DMM in Llanberis, North Wales. Just down the road from Brant Direct.

I recall seeing a Spurcycle bell mounted in the bend of a dropbar and can't help but think it was in this thread, does anyone have a picture?

No, but I bought a few of the ebay/aliX copies and can confirm they do mount on the bend of a dropbar with the longer strap supplied.

If you have black bar tape a neat way to make the metal strap blend in, is to heat shrink it.

Ah, the bike that DBAD aspired to be. Explains my confusion. Thanks!

@hugo7 👍🏼

sadly I no longer own DBAD, its going to a worthy owner :)

can you ever truly own a idea?

End of an era

I would suggest they put TRP 957s on it

Should pull the plug on lfgss now

32c tyres, exotic rim brakes, couplings, could it be...?

No.

I am boxing it up as I type this

It is really easy to pack it
