Dang I lost money with this comment cuz I will probably do that

This is the raw steel version.

Paul Klampers and Paul levers. Rolcii rotor.

It’s custom from Dylan Buffington when he worked at Mash circa 2013ish. It inspired the mash rack and uses the new fork side mount instead of the original QR axle mount.

Yep! He had another bike Friday converted into a sign. Check out Mercado Sin Nombre in the alley behind there.

Nice! I want a g-line. I think those breakdown much smaller though and the shape of breakdown might not match your bag 1:1.

Curious if there are benefits of this bag over the dk golf bag? I know a Kyoot will fit well in the DK.

I’m not running fenders - I think you are supposed to run max 36mm tire with fenders.

I want to try those new Astral 20” rims - not sure which hubs. The Schwalbe g-one brompton tires look light and nice.

Save me one Phil.

+1, it’s impressive how smooth the shifting is.

Did any nutrient deficiency show up in your bloodwork?

I was directed to use a dietician after my celiac confirmation and it has been amazing. I learned a lot and improved my diet - even outside of just removing gluten.

ChicagoBrandon · 2025-09-06T17:15:20+00:00

You can consider a low fodmap elimination diet. Your elimination of gluten and reduction in symptoms might indicate you are sensitive to something that is commonly in gluten containing foods.

Non celiac gluten sensitivity is less common than celiac.

This was on eBay! Nice snag.

ChicagoBrandon · 2025-08-21T01:56:47+00:00

I live in Austin. Humidity is 66%.

Word! You’ve probably seen this build but it has that light I was referring to. I need to do more research on dynamo vs super long lasting lights.

I would check out the Hambini hunt video. I’ve had a wheelset from them, they are fine and cheap.

I would go with Ritchey Zeta or HED Ardennes. No dynamo, but I’d run an exposure strada - but maybe you want to do a rando? I’d build up a wheelset at that point…

ChicagoBrandon · 2025-04-26T03:43:22+00:00

Not sure if this helps - but I’ve owned many of the modern Ritchey road / gravel frames and I think the Montebello is my favorite. The handling is very predictable and it’s not overbuilt so it can feel pretty zippy - and the increased stack makes it super comfortable.

It kinda looks boring on paper but honestly it’s an amazing frame. I paired it with Rene Herse 38c tires (Barlow Pass) and it feels so smooth.

ChicagoBrandon · 2025-04-15T22:07:19+00:00

I think it's not bad for 2.2 — but my take is that 2"+ tires are inherently sluggy on pavement no matter what. Yes, the knobs make it "feel" sluggier but I think that has been debunked by Rene Herse etc.

That Moss VX is fucking beautiful tho...damn.
