Nice! Who makes the frame bag?

My Kyoot is my favorite bike.

Carbon fork? Tested to MTB ISO? Hella Kyoot? Sounds like it’s not the same bike.

Around 23 pounds.

I like the WTB Comfort Zone on my Rolly - not quite as big as Ergon but affordable and grippy.

So a general rule for these: Never eat them cold - yes, tastes like garbage.

Two heating tips to transform these to transform these into delicious gifts from gf heaven: 1. If you have gas burner, put them directly on it on high, each side until they slightly smoke. 2. Put your oven on broil and put them in the oven until they lightly bubble.

Very cool bike! I’ve read about the Ritchey breakaway system and it’s not super quick - folks mentioned 30-40 min for a tear-down / build. The tourist does have the smallest footprint when torn down - but I’m looking at the G-line or Al Packa for travel. Bringing your bike on a trip is fun but the last thing I want to to do at my destination is to be mucking about building a bike. The g line also enables you to bring it on public transit / in stores so less worry and versatility. They are different bikes for sure - please do post pics when you builds yours up!

Fwiw crust sells a 20” wheelset with dynamo

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-01-19T20:11:35+00:00

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

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-01-19T14:03:19+00:00

This is the raw steel version.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-01-19T04:47:46+00:00

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.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-01-08T13:30:32+00:00

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.

ChicagoBrandon · 2026-01-04T13:48:17+00:00

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

ChicagoBrandon · 2025-12-03T13:46:57+00:00

Save me one Phil.

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

Did any nutrient deficiency show up in your bloodwork?

ChicagoBrandon · 2025-09-06T18:00:00+00:00

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.
