holy shit! This thing is oddly stamped 97 on the inside of the fork crown and down by the dropouts, but it is rim brake only Read more

mmm M950 stuff. I’m slightly intrigued at how light this thing eventually turns out, at least with a carbon fork Read more

amazingly, it’s one of my steel bikes that has a seized post. If I can’t get my hands on a vice to wiggle it out, I’m gonna have to lye it up. Read more

I was planning on doing a 1x8 or 1x10 (I’m tempted to use an old deerhead FD as a chain keeper but that’d be kind of a belt and suspenders thing) either with an 11-40 or a 12-42 or 46. Read more

it’s true! the sliders swap out and the spring, too, but Moots doesn’t offer you anything for the elastomer Read more

remind me to drive to New Jersey to change the oil on this thing Read more

this thing looks amazing! Read more

Wait what’s the connection?? Read more

could’ve just played Desert Bus Read more

I highly reccomend the ThanksShimano IG account for more of this nature Read more

I do love the OG 905 but the Evo II supercopter? it and the contemporary allard are from an alternate universe Read more

not just Bernie but also Balestre! Read more

Why did my brain register “Dodge Dart” when I first looked at this? Read more

I met the corvair dude! his dad had the black C3 a few blocks around the corner Read more

I did try to get some Hutchinsons for it, but I couldn’t find anything good local Read more

a Lotus indeed! Read more
