“Alright phildas”

A saying on numerous whatsapp groups when someone posts painfully built by numbers bicycle

I take it as a compliment frankly

Pics or didn’t happen.
I’d be flattered that people are talking about me

I talk about you all the time! Ask my wife

I just saw the brown hoods, which actually relegates it straight to anti.

Alright phildas

What a wild ride. Just made it through all current 8 pages. Not sure if I enjoyed myself...

This bike is a fucking dogs dinner

I'm a sucker for the pico panniers.

I've just ordered a bunch of U-bolts and some thick HDPE sheet so I can do my own version. Or perhaps something closer to this: https://www.ovejanegrabikepacking.com/products/bootlegger-fork-bag Either way I'll be bolting stuff to my suspension lowers.

It is a square

Or wait, I meant: Alright phildas

Yours will 100% look better.
They need to be long, not particularly wide. Long is useful.

Or wait, I meant: Alright phildas

Is this the new "Ok, boomer"?

I don't really have a clue what I'll be putting in them, so I'm not sure what shape they need to be. I think water mainly as the Kona has only one cage and I don't like sweaty backs.

If it’s just water, better off underneath the down tube or on the seat stays, using hose clamps.
Heavy mass on bottom of bouncy forks does make bike handle weird, only worth it if you’re out of space elsewhere on bike

Fair point, perhaps I should stop letting my dreams be dreams and just add all of the cages I want with hose clamps, mounts be damned. Don't want to get new ones brazed in as I like the paint, and it's all a bit too tight to get in a drill and rivnut-tool. And all adapters look rank.

Is there a universally agreed upon stem length past which point a bike is automatically anti? I feel like that all city is a prime example

?

Exactly

I wasn't disagreeing, just posted the most extreme example I could find!

I almost like that, any idea what the bartape is?
