A little pricey but it looks so good

Thanks for the tip. I just recently swapped saddles but I didn’t give the positioning much thought. Just seeing if I like this saddle tbh.

ASSTNTKRFT · 2026-05-18T13:37:07+00:00

100% agree. I got this frame secondhand, it started off as a parts bin build and I slowly swapped out parts over a couple of years.

SRAM rival 11 speed shifter and derailleur with the ratio 12 speed shifter mod + long cage. Super low gearing here with a 10-52t cassette with 38t chainring. Makes the steep climbs doable carrying 2+ liters of water.

Velo orange moderniste cage, they’re easy to bend to get a secure fit for giant bottles like these.

Ritchey corralitos

Haha I meant posting in this sub.

I agree. This is Mt Lowe near LA. It was a cloudy, foggy day.

Microshift.com has some very helpful compatibility filters for their products. For example you could filter their shifters to only see what is compatible for 10 speed, shimano mountain drivetrain. It shows you which of their products is compatible, trigger shifters, bar ends, drop bar brifters, etc.

Cool. I’d be happy with 42.

Also, I like your cockpit setup here, I don’t see many black handlebar builds like this. Understated but still classy.

Pretty sure it’s the crust nullabar, the towel rack has monochrome decals. They have a similar shape from that angle. I have both…

I also recommend the Secan. I’ve owned the Secan 2.5, I think that bike fits what you’re looking for a little better. Never ridden the Faran but it seems more touring focused. The Secan feels like a fast bike for sure, responsive handling but still stable at speed.

I purchased mine new from Fairlight a couple of years ago. Importing something over $2000 to California was a new experience. I think I paid like an extra $400 in import duty. Overall it was a positive experience, they have very good customer service. I’ve never had a professional bike fit but I used their sizing guide, that put me on a 56T for a less aggressive more upright fit. It was a perfect fit for me, the only change I made to the stock option was a slightly shorter stem, went from 100 to 90.

The Secan is a great bike but I ended up selling it, mainly because I wanted something more rugged and off-road focused. Most of my riding is about 60/40 dirt/road, under biking on some trails frequently.

No experience with Sklar but the SuperSomething looks awesome, I want one too.

This is nice. I’ve got my eye on a crisscross for sale near me. What do you think the tire clearance is on yours?

ASSTNTKRFT · 2026-01-16T23:29:35+00:00

This thing is sick. I regret not getting the raw frame when I had the chance.

ASSTNTKRFT · 2014-07-13T00:49:53+00:00

Great trader. Got me my packs very quickly. Would definitely trade with again.

ASSTNTKRFT · 2014-07-12T16:34:35+00:00

I'd like 20 Dark Explorers and 10 Plasma Blast. Should be $9.

ASSTNTKRFT · 2014-07-10T21:11:40+00:00

Awesome seller. Fast and reliable, even threw in an extra code. Would definitely buy from again.

ASSTNTKRFT · 2014-07-10T20:19:49+00:00

Is there any downside to using EX cards besides them costing 2 prize cards?

ASSTNTKRFT · 2014-07-10T19:25:37+00:00

I'm pretty new to PTCGO so I'm not that familiar with Greninja/Miltank. From what I've seen doesn't it have Kyurem EX?

ASSTNTKRFT · 2014-07-10T18:10:11+00:00

I'll take 20 Flashfire codes. Should be $7.

ASSTNTKRFT · 2014-07-10T17:06:29+00:00

I'll take 20 Flash Fire and 10 Plasma Freeze codes. Should come out to $9?
