My brother is such a roadie nerd. Just built up this thing, a recreation of his First Dream Bike. Custom stem to accommodate old head tube and new bars. Painted ridiculous flecked purple to match. That's not a frame pump, it's a storage tube. He has too many bikes:
i was looking around on all my look ups and found a few pieces i wouldn't mind making once the bike OCD fully digs its heels in:
i've been rocking spider tape on the achilles too and it's been a beauty. went to get a custom suit fitted while i'm in the fat zone and both of my legs are back to the same size. thanks bike-cycles.

rode big bikes on chairlifts yesterday, reminded me to poast this Claudio maniac's rad WC DH preview vids here...so good!
and regarding e-bikes and iBerts:
it's a great combo. I couldn't keep up.

bought myself my first pair of padded spandex shorts.
my nuts are beside themselves with joy, now more than ever.

Despite it being only nine months old IÔÇÖve somehow managed to destroy the forks on my bike, and IÔÇÖve been waiting over two weeks to get them replaced.
So IÔÇÖm giving serious consideration to getting a dedicated commuter bike. IÔÇÖm thinking some kind of steel, flat bar road bike. If there were any for sale IÔÇÖd probably go for a Cotic Roadrat (https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/roadrat#duckegg):
As there donÔÇÖt seem to be any IÔÇÖm thinking maybe one of these Project X Kaffenbacks (http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBPXKAFF2FBTIA/planet-x-kaffenback-2-shimano-tiagra-flat-bar):
Any other suggestions?

Duke that Masi is stunning. Do you know what seat post that is? Looks like a custom painted Kent Erikson, of so that is straight bike porn. The stem looks like a Kelly, also proper flipping nice - love the whole thing man. You don't see too many of those storage tubes, what can you keep inside them?

I ran a Merida Crossway for a couple of years and it was great.
Or a Cannondale Badboy
I liked the Merida because the fork took the sting out of a lot of shortcuts on the commute.
In shock news, I might be commuting inner-city if the traffic on the new gig is soul-destroying.
Wish me luck.
RIP Stackswell.

Yeah, flat bar commuto-road bikes are all pretty dialed now.
Toby.d: brother is pleased to report thats an Eriksen Sweetpostt. Stem was custom made by Winter Cycles, in Portland i think, to accommodate new bars and old steer tube size. I think dude made the fork too. Storage tube is painted carbon. I'd like to say my brother puts a bong in there but I bet it's just a tube and whatever.
I've been trying to get kicked off Strava by getting records on the e-bike, but it has to be hills of a certain steepness for it to work out for me. Amazing to go 17mph for a half mile climb and be out of the top ten! There are a lot of really strong bike people around here, but I really cannot imagine beating this super machine up a hill. I'm trying to jam the system, but the top dudes are insanely fast.

Grope!!!! Are those yours?? Very nice. Love the first one.
I don't know if I would want to steal that Jenga bike!! I do like the idea of a locking system built into a frame design so there's no need for an external lock. I worry about stability/rigidity issues though.
For quick trips into a store or food spot, I have stopped locking my bike TO things, and just lock the wheel to the frame. I'll run a motherfucker down if he's gonna try to take off carrying my bike! But I do worry that I am tempting fate.
One more day of work, then off for two weeks. Can't wait to get in some longer rides on the bike. I wish I had some scenery like Jimster to ride in though! Might have to take a trip down to the Niagara area for some picturesque country riding.
