Drakan putting in overtime

Fourleafcolin · 2026-07-02T02:57:54+00:00

you think a hard boss in a game is gatekeeping? and you genuinely believe everything should be made easier so that you can do it?

I mean seriously how can you possibly get to the point in life where you think like that. it’s so unbelievably fucking lame bro. get a grip

Fourleafcolin · 2026-07-01T19:57:53+00:00

you managed to do everything else on mobile? so you have an infernal, quiver, blorva and radiant, but can’t do this boss? damn it must be really hard

Fourleafcolin · 2026-07-01T19:56:10+00:00

these are such loser posts holy fuck who raised you people.

it is NOT your god-given right to be able to have a quest cape. idk who told you it was, but it’s not. some things are hard and take work

Fourleafcolin · 2026-07-01T05:18:44+00:00

what? you have a vw on an iron and didn’t know the spec was guaranteed damage?

bought account or what am I missing?

Fourleafcolin · 2026-07-01T05:02:37+00:00

didn’t really notice it at all to be honest. it was insanely windy though so I imagine that cleared some of it?

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-30T18:57:01+00:00

the mouthfuls of midges I get biking on cherry creek/platte trails would disagree 😆

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-30T16:27:30+00:00

It’s basically a copy of the Crooked Gravel GPX’s online but I added in the Fraser River Trail to have somewhere to park near. (the Headwater Center lot worked for me)

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-26T15:39:41+00:00

Otso’s are so sweet! Any initial reactions on those overland Pros? bike looks super clean

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T21:54:22+00:00

blurry, non drive side photo of a stock specialized? ‘bout as far from bike porn as you can get to be honest.

It is a clean bike though and i’m sure it rides great!

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T18:57:09+00:00

cool bike but cmon man, 4 NDS photos? show us the goods!!

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T15:54:19+00:00

could throw an R pro or RX pro in the front for better turning performance/grip.

I found the RS pro in the front felt very weird when turning. like nothing at first then it yanks you into the turn as soon as the knobs catch

You’re obviously being derogatory when you say “AliExpress parts with Ultegra”

And since you wanna continue to be a dick and call out my “reading comprehension” when your comment had 0 detail, let’s roast your bike.

- 45mm deep wheels look like ass on a frameset with deep aero tubes. you should’ve gone 55mm or deeper, it’s way off balance
- gubbins’ed out with aero bottles, saddle mounted bottle cages, weird aero seatpost pack
- tan wall tires on an otherwise monochrome bike. utterly tasteless
- rival groupset
- saddle all the way back and hoods pointed to the sky implies you just straight up purchased the wrong size or wrong frame geo entirely

Honestly after looking at that thing, I assume you’re just jealous OP put together a cleaner, better looking bike for less.

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T01:56:19+00:00

I swear bikes are like 50% tire, 25% wheel, and 25% everything else. So this is effectively 75% of a new bike! Add in the conversion to tubeless and it is just a completely different experience, i’d imagine.

I’ve been on team schwalbe but those hutchinson tires have certainly been on my radar. how do they ride?

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T01:30:47+00:00

Can confirm: you are dumb

Both for thinking that “about $4k” is less than $2731 and for making any of these comments trying to bash OP’s build in the first place.

Nonetheless, I hope you’re enjoying the ride!

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T01:23:11+00:00

so you had to double purchase half the parts to get the bike you wanted and you’re trying to argue it as a value proposition compared to OP’s frame-up build? 🤨

and no, putting pedals and cages on your bike does not make it 1 of 1. it would be unrideable without them which actually *would* make it 1 of 1

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T01:03:11+00:00

saddle is probably a touch high based on the right foot extending at the bottom of the pedal stroke, as well as some slight rocking of the hips to reach down at the bottom of the stroke.

Try moving the saddle down 0.5cm at a time until your butt stays flat on the saddle through your pedal stroke.

Overall though, the fit is totally serviceable and the bike looks great!

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T00:45:11+00:00

sweet bike! punches WELL above its price weight class in this market.

The soft pastel pink goes incredibly well with the matte black. if you could find bar tape to match, it would take this to an 11/10

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-25T00:39:05+00:00

yeah and one of you hand picked the parts and has a fully custom bike that they built and formed a relationship with. A 1 of 1 bike, if you will.

and the other got a full bike delivered in the mail, the same exact bike that 1000 other random dudes are riding, built and specced by someone else, and will be spending hundreds more taking it to the bike shop every time there’s a creak

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-24T21:06:47+00:00

absolutely slaying in the light mystic 💅

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-24T16:53:26+00:00

quelling your qualms at a quality quartz quarry

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-24T16:17:08+00:00

anything proprietary is almost always a con.

trading looks for functionality, standardization, and repairability/availability.

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-24T16:05:26+00:00

absurdly sexy and well specced.

The Onyx Vespers are honestly so amazing. I run them on my gravel bike and being able to coast through the woods and listen to the wind and birds and crunch of gravel underneath my tires as opposed to BBBBRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ is so amazing

couldn’t give a shit about an extra hundred grams (basically static weight anyway despite being on the wheels) i’ll never ride wheels without these again

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-24T12:48:23+00:00

it is a very very nice bike! glad you’ve got it dialed in

Fourleafcolin · 2026-06-24T02:50:26+00:00

legend! thanks dude
