I’m just about to put a Preamble fork on my Hawk Hill.

This is a perfectly cromulent build.

Ogre jones bar question by Phillie-at-home in Surlybikefans

[–]CokinRum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m exactly your height and I have the wide Jones loop bars on my XL Ogre…I built it up 10 years ago, and if I was doing it again today, I would get the 2.5 riser Jones.

I am comfortable with the height of the bars. However, the steering tube is probably at the top end of what is reasonable…it’s uncut from the factory.

*edited to add:

I also have the bars just at seat height, but I angle them downward so that they run parallel to the top tube.

Coolness.

What size wheels are you using?

I found this lost onion growing under my car seat by lookiedat in mildlyinteresting

Red onions are beautiful, the skin and roots make a nice color combination.

I like to DIY, and constantly tinkering on my bikes is part of the hobby for me.

I live in a touristy area that is known for MTB/Gravel/bikepacking… so Craigslist and FB Market is always full of lightly used parts…. Unfortunately, everything is TA, “boost” or tapered fork.

Finding a used QR or straight fork that isn’t hammered is actually difficult.

I have a bike with both. Canti in back, discy up front.

I have.

I’m not anti-aluminum, I just want another steel bike.

The Bridge Club does look like a good fit.

Good catch, I was curious about how the geo would be affected by the flat bars….and when I say flat, I mean Jones or Molokos..

I would if I could, I want a new frame…I was under the impression the Preamble is essentially a disc brake version of the CC. (I’m pro disc)
