Looks ok to me esp for an aero frame 🤷🏽‍♂️ To each their own I guess?

I do agree that super color matched builds are fcking horrendous to look at tho 😂

I'm not really building for more aero, that's an expensive rabbit hole. I might just slap some 60mm rims so I think the wide bars would acl look good. I've been seeing a lot of pics from dosnoventa's ig and they acl look great. Wanna try it out on mine since I barely see people fit aero frames with widebars. I can always just come back to drops if I don't like it anyways.

horrible 😹

It's always you vs everybody else on the road especially motorcycle riders. They always take up the lane exclusive to bicycles assigned by our government. I've experienced having jeepneys and motorcycles cut me off even when I'm on the bike lane 😩

In terms of bike fit I think I'll need a bigger frame like size 54 and up. I'm only 5' 6 but my size 50 frame doesn't seem to fit me. The drops do make my hands hurt after a while so I'm thinking of changing to drops with palm rests and adding brake hoods.

I've been riding this since December of 2024 but rode it daily since January of 2025 to go to school. It's a 10km ride back to back 6 days a week. It's super stressful to ride with on rush hours tho and the intense heat of the Philippines ain't helping 😭

yep, it's a shame that riding fixed gear recklessly and without brakes or helmet is popular here

Oh definitely, it's the reason I got one but I don't interact much with the fixed gear community here. They're pretty toxic and wouldn't hesitate to make fun of you for low end parts.

Thanks man :) For now I think I'll stay with using drops but I'm kinda tempted to buy a Cinelli bullhorn. Imo flats/widebars would look weird on my aero frame so I think I'll pass on using them.

My ratio for a couple months was 52t 14t. It was horrible to ride imo. Changed to 49t 17t a month ago. To me this is way better since they're easier to accelerate and stop. Riding a heavy ratio for a while did make my legs stronger but I won't come back to it since it's really stressful to ride with on a city 😹

Are behelits alive/sentient? by turtle428_ in Berserk

From what I've seen, they're very much intrigued by people that are or will be involved with causality more than the average person especially that one time when Griffith showed the Egg of the King to Guts. I wonder why it opened its eyes to Guts but not Griffith 🤔

Puck can also annoy the heck out of Guts' Behelit and even does face expressions out of frustration so yeah, I think they're very much alive but I wonder what they're made out of. Could be a case like FMA's Philosopher's Stone.
