It's going to be the fanciest Reid there ever was!

Anybody got some build inspo for a 90's steel hybrid? Got a frameset from the tip kicking around the shed and I need some motivation to get started....

Just finished this Dad-Bike for when my partner needs the shared ebike.

Poncho or a rain cape? Assuming they already have woolies on underneath, will definitely cut the wind chill factor (disclaimer I live in Australia and so don't know what actual cold weather is)

And some more

Some of my old builds

Found this beauty on gumtree

Shmick build but the anatomic bars stick out like a broken thumb

FWIW I bought the new Reene Heers Babyback Ribs Pass 27"x60 and instantly lost 10 mins on my commute

Ooof, pulling apart an SA hub does sound like the best lockdown project one could do. Good luck getting the hub dialed in!

For sale right now as "Full Custom Unique Hipster Bike"

I wonder about the front end of stuff too, i.e. how it's made. I try to buy stuff made in places I assume have good labour practices like Germany and Japan (Ergon/Nitto particularly seem to be on the ball) but for a "green" industry most manufacturers are pretty opaque about the supply chain of their bikes/parts and the conditions of the people who make them.

That's my old bike! (Riv Atlantis) Where did you find the picture?

Not sure if here or anti, but saw this Pinarello locked up outside the local supermarket, the pedals and rack job just made me think beater though

Yeah, doesn't cause too much trouble, I did cop one into the thigh once when on some tight singletrack, but under most normal conditions it's no dramas

I've done some gnarly stuff on 2.1 Nanos and rate them, they roll well on pavement too

2.1in Nanos and a new cockpit has turned my Atlantis from a gentleman's tourer into a proper monsteur

Yeah man, always keen for adventure pals. I'm in the depths of uni hell atm, but come July I'll be itching to spend my holidays getting lost, eating carbs and pushing my bike up steep hills.

There's definitely some great riding around ADL, but look at those misty forests! Snowy alpine huts, oh man. The grass is always greener I guess.

Oh man, this thread has made me want to get my arse over to Victoria for some adventurous riding! Really wish Adelaide had regional trains, seems like the way to go for getting out of the city (although our rail trails are mostly just paved tracks through endless vineyards)

Rear derailleur doesn't look happy!

My GT beater at the river the other day

I got an old steel beater MTB (92 Giant Boulder 500) off the side of the road, thinking of building it up for fun, the paint is pretty trashed so was thinking about just stripping the paint off and running it raw with a couple of coats of shellack for rust inhibition. Anyone stripped a frame before? I'm thinking just some paint stripper and a wire wheel?

Currently building an old lugged mtb into a fun times adventure bike on a student budget, anyone have a lead on a cheap dirt drops with a 25.4 clamp diameter or am I doomed to shell out for Nitto? (Nitto are great obvs, but i've got the rest of the build for like $70 so the handlebar alone doubles the cost)

Enjoying summer by riding my Atlantis in the forest

and the beach!
