My lack of maintenance caught up with me

Which is a great reason to hop on the latest trend in bikes, simultaneously exploring my relationship with my straightness.

With the added benefit of bringing the Eroba back in modelling shape for a new project.

Lol

Had been a while since I made myself a bag.

Boiks. I didn't get to use the rando bag because of carrying capacity overkill.

Dialed!

So good it almost makes me want a Canyon!

damn good looking bags,

Hello

Isn't the whole stemrack project about being able to remove the rack quite fast and easy when not needed?

2nd this. Amazing work

Well, yes. But I decided very last minute and I hadn't brought the short bolts.

And thanks all!

Makes for a good watertube sling though

All sorts of parts coming in, very little time for riding, let alone tinkering.

Tinkering before riding mate

that a mix of bits! Those Di2 levers look a really nice shape

I've no choice, 2/3 are in a rather sorry state.

They're an eclectic mix indeed, each pic for a different bike!

The Di2 bits will go on the bike @Jaap built me. I'm beyond done with mechanical disc brakes, so I'd been looking at older gen hydraulic shifters but they're just so gopping. Then these shifters came on my path and I should have the whole bike electrified for about the cost of a GRX400 2x10 group. I'm choosing to ignore that the consumable bits are 3 times the prices of the 10 speed.

The XTR brakes are a similar story. They'll be a bit nicer than the 4 pot XT brakes currently on the Hulsboyke.

And the Eroba is beyond tragic at this point, riding to therapy this morning I was worried I'd be late / wouldn't make it with the noises the chain made. High time I upgrade it to 9s. Had I known about the Di2 plans I could have transferred parts of that drive train, but I'll keep them in a box and maybe put them on the hypothetical bike the XT brakes are earmarked for as well.

The bags look really good.

What zippers do you use on these, if I may ask? They look better than the Aquaguards I keep breaking. Those might be similar to what they have on Revelate's bags and they seem to be very durable.

I've sent you a PM :)

Thats cool!
As much as I like the Hulsroy forks, this is even better I think.
