New paintjob and decals look spot on, shame about the crank issue, omniums being one of the most used (and not even close to narrowest) choice to track and street

Been suffering from sciatic problems all summer, and while the cosine felt great on the townie, it wasn't great on longer days on saddle. Loaned an smp composit from LBS and it has been the best saddle i've had so far. Changed the bars to evomax aswell, and now everything seems dialed in.

went for a small trip. The cheapo KTM bag works okay, even though i broke a plastic buckle on 2nd day. Good thing new buckles don't cost anything

Most use dynamo, rest charges everything at hotels, restaurants etc whenever you stop.

the angle of the taper is the same, the length of the tapered part varies even between different brand of the same taper (atleast truvativ and shimano jis had different length of tapered part). Just make sure it doesn't stick out too much or bottom out and you'll be fine.

It surely is something, just not porn.

Surly LHT, Genesis TDF, Cinelli Hobo for example

Perfect (well ok, missing mudflaps)

Next thing you'll know, someone invents a rack that can be attached to dropouts and you can put bags there...

Usually they are seen in MTB's to change the handling a bit

Those chrome lugs are spot on with that frame color.

My wrists didn't care for the lack of backsweep with the riser, so i went and bought a trekking bar from local hardware store and paired it with 120mm syntace stem. Plenty comfy much wow

Also the charge saddle i had started to be old and tired so i bought a cosine endurance saddle to replace. It seemed so comfy i went and bought 2nd one to my rych aswell... 8)

It looks like spesh power, if it is the saddle-bb norm doesn't apply here.

I believe so

Not very ;)

Piece of alu from scrap yard for free, drill and tap.

Näätä would be that guy who never actually buys stuff because he would use it, but because he sees a possibility to turn it in to a profit. Even when it's cycling stuff to fellow forumengers.

Buying a complete bike from Finnish marketplace for 350 euros, then putting frame only for sale few hours later for double the price, glws

in finland we have this thing called näätäs gonna näätä

So comfy

A bit late to the party but...

Hehe, i have to admit i might have drooled over pictures of that before ordering this...

e. While arundel cages were nice and shiny, i have to get side load cages so i can maximise the size of the frame bag. Any recommendations? Was looking of either elite cannibals or specialized zee cages.

Slowly but surely spring is trying to come. Taking the decals off from force cranks, so i had time to tinker with rychtarski a bit. Took her for a first test spin outside, had to take aerobars off so i could get to stem bolts to rotate the bars a bit.

Feels good already. Waiting for fabrics from Germany so i can start sewing frame bag for it.

In Finland we have this thing called winter, theres slush and feet of snow. Does that count as mud?

E: atleast with our lovely weather, you're gonna get clogged up anyway, so might aswell maximise the tyre size for extra floatiness and traction and whatnot.

40c ish tires fit fine, had smart sams on mine whole winter.

Hated those tubeless rims so much that i went and sold those and built these today:

Ultegra, Open Pro CD and sapim spokes, laser on the front and d-light in the rear. Gained some grams (measured 1770g) but atleast i can now replace tubes without getting blisters (and i'm hoping these will be more bulletproof for my needs). Also got spesh power saddle and tribars from LBS sale, whole shebang now looks like this:

Been raining more snow all week, might be a while til summer...

Ritchey? Older one was 400, new ones are 395, yes
