have you found some sand where it shouldn't be?

do you know ed personally? it's great that our little community isn't confined to cyberspace!

Sounds like gravel to me.

put the handle on the framebag?

The main problem with this is wear and tear, it can and have been done in the past, but I like to have a little custom touch to it that I’d still automatically grab without a framebag.

Sounds like gravel to me.

And a bit low trail.

pretty disgusting comment. you need to take a long hard look at yourself.
you're a 40 year old man, not a teenager trying swearing on the internet for the first time.

full retard

People still say that :-/

I don’t see it as explicit ‘ableism’ to use an americanism that means cnut w4nker etc. He’s obviously angry. Poor choice of words. I realise disabilities make people targets for shitty insinuations, and that’s not ok. Maybe he has a point. The thread title amounts to a pile on, the nudge-nudge sort of bullying, publicly digging away at someone you had a disagreement with. Just leave it, squabs. Build a new bike, I hope you like it, whatever. Don’t be a dickhead about it.

What’s this all about then?

"retarded" is an objectively ableist term. Regardless of someone's issue with another member of the forum that's pretty not on imo!

yeah, it doesn’t mean cnut or w4nker in the US, and outside of Jr HighSchool you’ll get called out for using it.

There's a lots of word, phrases etc. that we grew up with that we never thought about the meaning or impact that it have on others, ableism included (saying such as "turn a blind's eye" can be considered as such)

His reaction's his own, and that's fine, I'm just happy to get a new frameset soon.

Good attitude! Looking forward to seeing what you end up with.

Any updates?

Carbon wheelset for insanity point.

This thread is worthless without a geometry chart or bikecad

Here you go, now bugger off.

BB looks a bit low

And there's no way your tiny little arms will ever reach those bars

Looks fine to me, it's not a DH bike.

Bar angle is way off tho.

3T Sphinx bars are an interesting choice

Stuck with SMP though I see, wise

Basically it’s this (all the parts), add NFE and then you have the BR.
