  I know it would be a lot more work, and it may not provide sufficient thread for engagement, but would having the thread bit that’s currently washers be threaded so a low profile bolt can be used rather than having the nut?

  Does that make sense?

  It can’t. Surely there is time for one more forum legend x Hulsroy x witslinger epic collab!

  I hope so at least.

  I’d imagine the pipe dream is a little more sprightly.

  Can’t wait for the comments on the build video about the lack of dropper.

  I should’ve engaged brain and asked Tijmen to hold off on sending my bag until post-bespoke to get one of these delightful mushrooms bottles. Found a dealer in Canada yet?!

  There is a super pro frameset for sale locally.

  I don’t need it. I can’t afford it. I have too many bikes. But I’m so tempted to

  Somehow those forks look like they have less travel than the design 100mm.

  Basically a gravel bike these days ;)

  Jones is wild!

  Didn’t realise you quite had the pedigree with full sus bikes. All ridden without a dropper? Either way I’m sure it’ll be awesome.

  Hanging your arse of the back as far as it will go isn’t the way that most people ride their modern geometry bikes down things. Curious to see if if you’d change your mind on droppers once you ride this bike and maybe try one. Personally…it’s my favourite bit of kit!

  There was an article on bikepacking.com about bars with sweep but enough forward bend to not loose it reach. Might’ve been Ritchey Kyote, will see if I can dig it out.

  Also really depends on how wide you are going on the bars. The on one OG are rather narrow by todays standards and at 6ft5 I assume your shoulders are pretty wide? The wider you go on the bars the shorter the stem you end up running so it could work if you were that way inclined.
