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.

Subscribing to this one. Nice to see another Starling on the forum! That raw finish could look amazing.

This isn’t one the shit shimano barrel adjusters is it? Works fine with no “load” but when there is a cable in you have to pinch it in just the right place to make it actually turn?

Same fringe weirdo market audience. Ideally someone decides they want to sell me a titanium 29er for a bargain price just because I’ve never owned Ti before.

I should add - the wheels I have are qr.

Sold the GT Peace 9er. Wasn’t riding it. Was a bit big. Was fun for cruising with the dog. Now building a Rockhopper single speed because that might get ridden to the pub.

Which puts me onto - what shall I do with these parts? So then I got onto the fact that my full sus is not exactly a lightweight….so…

Were there any aluminium, single speed frames out there? Not interested in a normal frame that uses a single speed tensioner thingy. Too ugly.

Thoughts on a postcard.

My partner has the get around and I’m very jealous. It’s super comfy and looks great.

Turned out brilliant. Including the bag mount! How does it ride?

One biking was resonating. Just in the wrong way. Turns out it was a stuck brake piston not retracting. Sorted that and we were best friends again. Turns out your bike working properly does make a difference!

I think the point is for many of us we aren’t racing so the fitness is really immaterial. If the bike doesn’t look right and doesn’t feel right, even if it’s “fast” then it’s just not fun.

Recumbents make me feel funny and not in a good way….
Let’s see more of these other projects then!

If my bike doesn’t look nice, then I’m unhappy riding it.

Oi oi that looks delightful. And well done on the thesis completion. When are you Dr Cupcakes?

I bought the same size as my old bedrock sandals (will double check). They have since changed the sizing of the sandals but I do wish I had gone for a size bigger to give my more toe space in socks. Do love them though as the transition shoe for when it’s too cold for socks and sandals but not yet boot weather.

(Edit: I live in Toronto, so proper winter does happen)

To say that I am excited is an understatement. The more I’ve looked at other bags the more I think this is going to be so spot on!

I love the pocket elastic detail so much. Another great pack.
