Delicious metal fenders.
When you gonna bring back the drops?
>>901768
HA! I just posted after you in the Functional Thread on LFGSS.
No plans to bring back the drops anytime soon. The guys from my shop that used to do longer rides with have moved on to DH and Freeride, so I'm mostly just scooting around town now.
And the shred sled.
>>901757
This is now the '38mm Panaracer Edition' of the PYBT
>>901759
Damn that's nice, Takei-anon, fabulous parts all around and they look just right together, how long have you had your Surly setup this way?
>>901773
Hah you did indeed.
>The guys from my shop that used to do longer rides with have moved on to DH and Freeride, so I'm mostly just scooting around town now.
Fair enough. Risers are plenty for going around town.
Definitely look into getting a front rack or basket. It's liberating for grocery runs and general errands.
>>901775
>This is now the '38mm Panaracer Edition' of the PYBT
Pretty much.
Slick ride. Longboards? Really dig that blue your frame is coloured.
Why does /n/ ride on shitty bike? I thought you guys were enthusiasts.
>>901759
Sweet flat bar hybrid dude.
I really like the color.
Did you get that at costco? Maybe you should get a suspension fork too.

Is the green tape stuff on the rear rack to keep the pannier from wearing through the tubing?
>>901809
Man if a set wouldn't cost like $150 for me I'd be all over those. I've been lusting over those Barlow Pass tires for ages.
>>901811
Panniers are no problem for these racks. I used to have a metal basket there though. It would rattle and that may scratch the nickel plating, which would expose the steel to rust.
>>901775
>how long have you had your Surly setup this way?
Thanks! It's been this way for about 6 months or so.
>>901820
I'm ready to order a set after my C-Lines wear out, but given how short my rides have been lately, that may be a couple of years from now.
>>901837
What are the advantages of having the seat stays this way? To make the seat less stiff?

Im running 52x17 with this wheel, its more comfy than it sounds, but I change between t18 and t20.
Wide flatbar fixed is a really comfy change from my racer. Maybe I'll try out a riser with grips
>>901795
I can't hear your rage over how comfy I am.
Also it's a pleasure cruiser, not a hybrid; hybrids are for more serious cyclists.
>>902309
Wide bars on fixed gears seem so logical in hind-sight that it makes you wonder why the narrow-bar-fashion-fad lasted for such a long time.
>muhgapz!

you neutered that bike and you're the only one who has to suffer for it, no harm done.
>>902339
>how old
It's no older than 1976, probably no newer than 1985. But you can figure out exactly when the frame was made from the serial number, here's the appropriate guide:

>>902339

is that tail-light stock or did you put it on? if so, link?
My new project, a Benotto 3000 like Francesco Moser's bike in A Sunday in Hell. What do you think?
>>903463
Honestly it looks like a pretty average race bike frame, nothing particularly distinctive at a glance. What tubing is it made of?
>>903465
Columbus SL. It was made around '83. Pretty light 1900 g just the grame. Yeah it ain't that impressive but I got the frame in a pretty bad condition and decided to restore it.
>>903463
is the top tube dented just a little left of the clamp? also looks like the whole top tube is bowed, but that may be an optical illusion and or I might be drinking.
>>903491
Very slight dent. I can't see any bowing of the top tube, though.

Ronald McDonald on the back. And my bikefu Aegis. She been in a lot of abuse over these past years from trail and dirt riding, commuting(challenging freds). I could just replace the wheel set and put on disc brakes for that true stopping power.

Welp, there's one future cyclist lost to us forever!
>>902010
Might be even more practical with some lights, and the frame paint is not working for me, but I like all the little details.
>>902011
Looks like fun, 8/10 would bounce around on. Is that seatpost collar backwards?
>>902103
More of a 'Daily Ride Thread' pic than PYB. Might be OK but can't tell.
>>902339
Looks clean and comfie. 9/10 would park at the grocery store bike rack. But that saddle would have to go.
>>902375
Commuting without fenders? Gift ribbon: 6/10 would steal, but not commute on.
>>902385

Has this frame been crashed and repaired? Thought you could not do that, only 'steel is real', what's the deal? Also I don't think it will work very well with no wheels.

Crap pics, might be crap bikes. 2/10 try moar.

Just sold off my 9-speed drivetrain and put a fancy new dynasis 10-speed on her. Also put some front shocks on, just waiting for a front rack to come. Want to do a tour of South America next season.
>>903732
Yes. Did the Cabot Trail and went through Halifax to Digby as part of a larger east coast tour. Didn't find the province very cyclist friendly, a lot of riding on the TCH.

Nope. Goal of the bike is to be as unappealing as possible. Tassles only add to said goal.

True, I have a number of problems with the bike but somehow I still love it.
I bought pretty much as a frameset from a friend so I was able to build it my way. The stock version is shit. I believe this is the 2014 tricross comp which is equipped with shit.
-I get insane toe overlap, even without fenders. Like, what the actual fuck? It's a fucking touring/commuter/cross bike. fuck off specialized.
-The bottom bracket is way too high. I don't feel "grounded" when I ride. It doesn't inspire confidence. Add some big squishy tires and you have a recipe for eating shit.
-Headtube height was an issue, I rad to replace the original headset cover with something lower because the original is something like 2 inches tall. lol no
-Aluminum fork lol not even once. I plan on replacing the fork with a long haul trucker fork or something that widens the wheel base a little bit. Anyone know the best way to do this? Hopefully moving the front wheel forward would lower the BB, which lowers the headtube, and takes care of some toe overlap.
That being said this bike is a fucking tank, it's been hit by any number of cars and still rides true.

I'll tell the more exciting one first
blow through about three stop signs in a row bombing a hill, passing a couple of cars, over the speed limit
hear a siren fire up
figure whatever i'm on a bike they don't pull over bikes
keep bombing
still hearing the siren, then over his speaker he says 'will the man on the bike please pull over immediately'
and oh shit oh shit oh shit either i take a ticket i can't afford to pay or risk a felony
risk a felony obviously
don't look behind me or acknowledge him, fucking book it
turn onto a high traffic four lane road and head towards the nearest intersection
i can shoot through traffic, he has to siren and wait to pass
make it through two major intersections somehow not causing any accidents or dying
he can still see me
grab onto a car and skitch to the next intersection
make a right at speed but then slow way down and duck into a garage for a second
watch him drive by, head the opposite direction, a couple of cagers yell at me that the police officer was chasing me and i'm a bad person or whatever
hide again, take off my helmet and sweatshirt and put them in my backpack, wait for a bit
finish the rest of my ride and head home
>>903903

>Have never even seen a Sex Too IRL. How is it?
Yeah, it's my brother's bike. He said it's just what the name says: Feels great like sex too.
>:pun intended:
The bike feels dated. Because the previous owner kept it well conditioned under 10 rides, but he messed up the front wheelset and the fork also. Got them replaced ASAP. The fork now is a 2004 fox talas rlc.
Otherwise is just as great any full-suspended bike at the time.

sounds like you could benefit from a 650B conversion, assuming your frame can fit compatible caliper brakes. You can look for a "low-trail" fork, but be aware that it'll most likely be CromeMoly.

a canadian special, brodie built some of the best custom mountain bikes out there, and now runs a class for frame welding. This has brodie's companys design, but was manufactured in a factury, probably taiwan. Rides like a dream, very like my surly cross check, I bet it's even closer to a surly lht, i got the trekking bars because the brake shifting is way cheaper, didnt want to buy sti levers, but will most likely in the future if i get tired of these suckers. Used white tape cause it was free haha
Had it for a couple months now. No complaints. Then again I did pay nothing for it.

>>903708
Can you even have a front rack with shocks? Can totally see having a suspension touring bike on S. American roads, but fenders and lights might be good too. That tour would be way too much for me on a motorcycle!

All pretty much of a muchness. How many OTS do you really need? Pink cable housings on 4/5 not working, plain white would be better. 2/5 looks like it could replace your whole fleet.
>>904208
Not that guy, but yes. They are the only real bike lights: throw out just enough light in all the right places whenever you need it. Recharging a flashlight overnight and strapping it to your handlebar is just kinda weak in comparison.
>>904228
>w2c front racks like these, also would they work with a normal rim brake front?
Just about anywhere, and yes. Big rack on the rando is a VO Porteur rack, the rack on the rat is some cheapo random one I got used and ziptied a basket to.
>>904237
>Wow, clean! Doubt it was like that when it left the factory. Did you switch from canties to V-brake? Take off that spacer.
I did switch to the mini-Vs, the cantis that were on it absolutely sucked so I made the switch.
I'll take it off eventually. If I recall there was some form of retention that wouldn't allow it to come off. I was pretty pissed at the time and said fuck it.

I'm assuming that's a round-beam rechargeable flashlight, pointed way down to avoid dazzling oncomers. That works, but not as well as a cut-off light with a beam shape that puts light right where you need it.

Ah, I understand. It's a rechargeable flashlight, but it's only pointed down because that's where it ended up before I went on my ride. The sun hadnt set when I took that pic.
I googled what you were talking about and I'm definitely interested in a proper cutoff light, but it sounds like that's not terribly common in the states. If I had more money to throw at a new light, or if blinding people were a more common problem for me, I'd replace it. I originally purchased it for mountain biking at night, but when riding the local paved trails at night, I rarely encounter people. Definitely something I'll be more mindful of though, thanks for the feedback.

I have ridden this set up for four hours no problem.
I have very long limbs and a short torso. It makes fit hard. The best I can figure is a zero setback post, 58 cm to tube... And a seat post level of a 64cm bike
These bars are too low though. I'm gonna replace the fork so I get more stack height a

Whats wrong with 1x with a commuter bike?
>>904842
Fellow Cannondale-fag here, you're off to a good start. Look for a flippable 17- or 25-degree stem if you want more bar height. Are those Velo Orange half-clips on the pedals?

Finally was able to take a current pic
tfw more bikes than I need but too attached to all of them

Hi.
>>901774
dude I love seeing this bike.
it keeps getting weirder.
how the handling by the way , I think the geometrie looks kind of weird
>>904975
I cringe errytime
>>904877
Mks w/leather bits. They're great for bigger feet in sneakers
>>905029
kek, whats wrong with it? It's just my daily commuter/test bike
>>905025
Cheers man, that's always the goal.
Handling is quite alright. Unloaded it handles quick and nimble like most bikes. With some stuff in the basket the steering is dampened slightly, but not enough for it to be a handful while riding.
It's a blast to bomb around town on.
Took the winter steed out for a day in the sun
>>904228
I am not entirely sure why the original owner didn't have a quill stem on it. I got the bike toward the end of this last season for 4 bills, so I haven't changed much yet.
>>904237
Ty sir. The red things on the rear and bottom of the seat are reflectors. Interesting feature, I thought. Rather much love that bike. And yeah, I am bummed there's no bosses for the second one either, was considering taking that one off since I don't use it too much.
>>905518
Pardon the fucked up bar tape on the left side btw, lost my endcap somehow. Replacing bar tape this spring. Also got a less-contrasty/nicer water bottle.
Considering dropping a newer Campagnolo groupset and a new wheelset on the frame. Any recommendations, or do yawls think it would be best kept stock?
>>905519
I probably wouldnt change anything if it fits you well. If not those would be the changes I would look into.

Fenders for snow? Nah, f︂︂a︂m. It's almost never warmer than -5C during winter. And cold snow is kinda dry.
>>905845
all the black really makes it look awful
>>905845
its a cool bike but ^ yea brown and black look like dogshit together

What do you think of disc brakes with traditional QR axles? Do you experience any brake rub on the rotor? Is it hard to align properly when you reinsert wheel after removal?
I looking at buying a new road bike, and disc brakes just makes a lot of sense to me, especially in combination with Thru axles. TA's are just still quite rare on bikes in my price range.

>>906151
kek
>>906154
like offroading trails or anything? not at the moment. It used ot be set up for rougher terrain but it's (obviously) become more of a dedicated commuter. I also use it to try out different setups and stuff, which is why the fit looks so wacky and it's only got a single chainring, but i've managed to pretty much fine tune it into something i can ride for hours at a time with little to no discomfort at all. The only thing i need to change about it now is just getting a suspension corrected fork because the one on there is pretty much shot. It was fairly long into it's life when i got it anyways
>>906201
Just get a road bike jesus christ you will be amazed how much it shares your propensity to gotta going have to go fast
>>906204
I'm actually in the process of building one, I got bogged down with holiday expenses/car payments/tuition though so I'm still saving for the groupset

Non drive side to trigger you. Ziploc also to trigger you.
>>906283
Oh yeah you were the anon who was trying to make some cheap bar mitts, how is that working out for you?
>>906213
Shifters and derailer is garbon
>>906323
I've been using it on one side to compare but I don't think it's working that well. If it's just above freezing point it works quite well, anything below it feels the same.
>>906343
pack that bag full of dry grass and newspaper for insulation man

Only the shifters are garbon mi frend
>>906483
Saddle position makes me think you must be uncomfortable on that bike - are you trying to compensate for what appears to be a relatively short stem?
>>906490
Bottom RD knuckle is garbon.

or maybe he just has long legs and short arms
Won this thing at a race yesterday.
>>906876
Seriously? Nice. What race? What's your bike?
>>906881
It was a Mash/Cinelli race. Pretty fun, a mix between an alleycat and a regular race. All on open roads. Finished first. Got the bike plus some oakleys and other goodies.

Nah
>>906885
Yeah, who'd want a free probably $4000 bike?
Didn't realize this thread was still up so I posted in the newish one but whatever
>>903708
Is that fork an XC28/XC30?
>>903942
Damn dude, I had the same issue with my old Judy XC fork. It won't spring back up. Tell me what you needed when you get it fixed so I can maybe put my back into service. Rather than fixing mine I just said fuck it and bought a brand new fork as you can see in >>906920
Here's my winter beater bike for the 2015-16 season. I dislike the frame but it will work until March, the wacky cockpit setup actually works quite well, and I'm riding studded tires for the first time, they work as advertised but are overkill for average winter conditions where I live.
>>906920
I know we've seen this before but it's still cool, did you get front brakes yet?
>>906928
You dislike that frame? I personally think Panasonic frames are beautiful
>did you get front brakes yet?
Well I've had the brakes but I need to get a hanger that attaches to the headset to actually put them on. The hanger's cheap, it's just that I always forget and remember when it's too late.
>>906898
Not him but what about that bike is $4000 worth?
Probably stupid question but it looks at least like a fairly unremarkable Al track bike?
>>906955
The part where he didn't actually win that yesterday, because no one would give one out as a prize with those parts.
>>906960
The frame+fork combos they have on the website are all under 1k.
>>906964
Thinking about it from that perspective, I suppose if it didn't have mismatching wheels (that rear one's set is ~$700 or so new apparently) and a double-sided power meter you COULD push the retail value of a bike like that to $4000.
>>906960
>Cinelli mash frames are like 2k USD as far as I know.
Nope.
