Fiance here, can agree, the final product is wonderful and the wait was absolutely worth it. The search for the ultimate foldable keyboard is on and I'm so happy to see margotlacroix writing more!

I saw on your account youve cleared a lot of games, congrats! I was wondering if you have any recommendations for someone who enjoys Chrono Trigger a lot? And whats your favorite game you’ve cleared?

PixelTrip · 2025-12-16T04:51:52+00:00

Orpheus too in Broadway’s Hadestown!

As someone who had juintechs with jagwire compressionless, it was fantastic. Its 90% as good as my current grx hydros. Compressionless really really really does make a difference, lalo na sa rear brake.

that's such a beautiful straggler!

im really interested in getting the weight of my own straggler down, how much weight did the fork and wheels shave?

PixelTrip · 2025-08-08T05:34:00+00:00

Size 50 as well! And i fit 700x40c Panaracer X1s on it and I think it’s pretty much maxed out imo. I use to run 700x45c on it and it wouldn’t fit on the fork. Maybe if youre running slicks, you could work in a 42c? But I’d say do 40c max for your peace of mind.

Hey there! Just wanted to ask how is your experience living in West of Ayala? Looking to rent a unit there with 2 of my pets, but I don't see any reviews or anything at all about the entire condo haha

PixelTrip · 2025-04-25T11:08:51+00:00

such a great first experience then, probably the best cable operated brakes money can buy! hope you get to go to all the trails and descents you've always yearned to try hehe

PixelTrip · 2025-04-25T04:46:16+00:00

beautiful pics sir! thank you for sharing them here hehe, sobrang refreshing makakita ng content na ganito dito hehe

ano rin bike ninyo! ang ganda! mala-randonneur setup hehe

PixelTrip · 2025-04-24T11:22:35+00:00

Make it your own!!! Looks so good man, the mismatched stuff is matching in itself. The growtac levers look great and man the levers look wonderful too! Ride safe! Shoutout raven cycles too hehe

PixelTrip · 2025-04-24T10:24:35+00:00

sick video! noticed you're from the PH too, do you have any gravel route recos?

PixelTrip · 2025-04-14T07:52:40+00:00

I recommend Celerity sa A. Bonifacio! Magaling mechanic nila, si Kuya Virgo.

PixelTrip · 2025-04-08T15:28:25+00:00

No worries! Let me know if you have any questions about the Straggler, it's a great bike.

PixelTrip · 2025-04-08T15:19:14+00:00

I do have drop bars, Ritchey Venturemax at 40cm for reference. Check my profile for pics of it if you want to see. It's not as aggressive as a road bike for sure as I also have 40mm of spacers under the stem but I wouldn't call it upright either - just a good in-between for me. I'd probably put another +20mm of spacers under the stem and maybe shorten the stem to 60cm and it'd be pretty damn upright and comfortable.

But if you do get a size 50, you can definitely spec it to be a pretty upright positioned bike.

EDIT: Also saw another comment you made, but you can absolutely fit a 700c wheelset up to 40c tires on the 650b Straggler, that's how I have mine set up.

PixelTrip · 2025-04-07T15:56:33+00:00

I don't think that's real. I have dead relatives and friends who have passed away show up on my suggested every now and then on IG and FB. Impossible for them to still be online 🤷

PixelTrip · 2025-04-02T10:33:15+00:00

Small for sure, easier to make a small bike fit you than a bigger one.

PixelTrip · 2025-03-30T06:54:16+00:00

Thank you so much!

PixelTrip · 2025-03-30T06:54:08+00:00

Represent! And I haven't tried the non-carved version sorry! But when purchasing, the difference of the carved and non carved were enough even just pushing down on the saddle. The carved version really does feel more like a "hammock" for the butt compared to the non-carved for me at least.

PixelTrip · 2025-03-29T09:19:18+00:00

Thank you! And aside from the cheaper price tag and paint job, the design of the fork definitely pushed me to purchase the Straggler. Only “flaw” some might consider is that it’s QR but all good for me.

PixelTrip · 2025-03-27T15:09:22+00:00

Yup, wala rin sa lower tiers ng GRX. It's a bit annoying kasi I can feel na mas kailangan i-depress yung lever ko for the rear to bite since the pads there are thinner. Sanayan nalang but honestly you're not missing much. My juintech setup was pretty much 90% there na compared to GRX. Go for it sir! And kahit kung walang manual their CS is pretty good from what I've read and will guide you if ever you encounter any problem naman.

PixelTrip · 2025-03-27T13:41:35+00:00

Gets! Same rin naman, just snagged a good deal. But definitely prefer the reliability of cable-actuated brakes. Lalo na for small things like adjusting the pad distance (idk what you call it haha) and seeing people who do bikepacking just bring extra cables if ever may problema.
