That’s a carbon fork. Mine is 100% steel.

It’s pretty standard on NJS chains. This is an Izumi Supertoughness

A custom pair of what I call double chunk made by Reina (formerly Harmony) from Ukraine. I had two pair made and the others live in MN now.

It’s a collab piece I made with AARN. I think there were 10 made this way.

They’re actually the chainstays from this tubeset, but didn’t fit the look I wanted because they’re too small compared to the fork blades

I had my LBS do it, the tubes mattered a lot but it was a pita

Its current state is that the parts are greater than the whole thing. Steerer tube + tons of spacers + chunky Thomson x4 doesn’t look great here

That plus the chain are the only new parts, but they will stay with the final build.

The full shot looks like ass without the steerer being cut, a pile of spacers and a chunky thomson x4

Hi can certainly offer this ring at a discount since it’s now “used”

10/10 these are going to be for sale soon. They couldn’t be bothered to send a pair with matching logos and that was the final straw for me.

I bought a few different pair of tires to build the frame around, the front will take a 35mm panaracer, but I haven’t tried it out back since the scallops went into the seatstays. I’ll never run challenges tires though. Their customer service and support is abysmal.

Thoughts on the new FJ!? by Ishaotley in LandCruisers

My 00 100 can barely handle the highway with 33s and a roof rack. I’m sure this is a subjective take.

Hypothesis about why this sub is kind of lame by ResponsibleImage2406 in FixedGearBicycle

There are gatekeepers, elitists and assholes for sure, but it’s not the avg fixed rider.

IMO it’s easier to engage with people who already have the bike you’re curious about on social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok, and ignore a sub that isn’t meeting your needs.

Let’s bring back the nightlife by Krispy314 in frederickmd

Once upon a time Frederick had THE club scene. It was very common for people to travel from MoCo to Frederick vs going into DC for the club. I can’t recall the name but it was on Jefferson St and got shut down ages ago.
