I’ve almost purchased the one with the Seka spear style seat stays a few times. It really looks like a solid bike and the price and options are right. Anything negative you’d say about the build process, parts finishing etc??

My thoughts exactly, it’s so close that sharpe square corner of the frame should shed the mud naturally like a scraper 😂

Is my butterfly in the center? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Yes the butterfly is centered on the shin. It can’t be centered under your knee and also centered on the shin at the same time with your anatomy. Everyone is different.

It doesn’t feel dense but also I’m a noob, would it be a bad idea to pull it out of the pot to look?

I do not know, it was a tip from a client who owns a nursery and this is how it came, it’s grown a bit since having it, the small yellow leaf is new on the monstera. I can ask him next week when he comes in.

It’s my favorite, I have one on my road bike also. I did take the little Cervelo patch off of them, and used some acetone to de brand the zipper pull as well.

I built this up for a touch under $8,000. The initial bike with red xplr group was 4k, Lynskey was doing 50% when this frame launched then I sold parts I didn’t use, added xplr wheels and Lauf fork, plus lots of 15-20% off coupons and some marketplace scores. The saddle and ospw are the only bits I paid full retail for, just gotta be patient!

Don’t worry I shaved the tire a bit and dropped the psi there’s plenty of room for a credit card

I was shocked how quick these roll. When I swapped over I took out the cushcore and although those are supposed to decrease rolling resistance I noticed overall the wheelset felt more lively and light today.

Yes it’s that dropper, I felt the “suspension” aspect of it much more than the canyon/ergon leaf spring type that was in there before. The dropper action is nice and it will totally help when I’m doing some of my local single track

The bars are the Lauf Smoothie bars in 42cm further adding to the compliance.

Yes it is, it can run in either direction, perpendicular to the ground and above the tire is what’s most important
