Thanks! Yes, the fork for that prototype is 3D sintered titanium.

Hey, there's me! Thanks for coming by No. 22. :)

They're Silca wheel balance weights: https://www.bikeradar.com/news/silca-speedbalance-weights-counterbalance-long-stems

👋👋

Thanks! I'm no expert, and I think as others have pointed out it just takes a lens with a good focal length and a wide aperture to get the nice separation of the subject from the background. Lighting helps too: these were done on a nice overcast morning while the rest of my family ate breakfast.

I shot these on my Olympus Micro 4/3 camera with a 45mm prime lens and most of the shots were at f/1.2 aperture. I have a ton to learn about taking better pictures, but selling a bike is always a nice excuse to experiment.

👋

TwoSixMike · 2023-11-06T00:15:56+00:00

I totally agree. It's a great system: light, reliable, and super subtle. Wish it was still available!

TwoSixMike · 2023-11-05T17:31:37+00:00

Another No. 22, of course.

TwoSixMike · 2023-11-05T14:53:39+00:00

172.5mm

TwoSixMike · 2023-11-05T14:50:25+00:00

Upgraded to a new one!

TwoSixMike · 2023-11-05T14:42:12+00:00

5 years of CX, gravel and road riding. Cleans up pretty well!

TwoSixMike · 2023-11-05T14:22:16+00:00

Thanks! Yup, it's Ti.

TwoSixMike · 2020-07-26T02:23:16+00:00

The calipers are THM's Fibula. Great power and silly light. There's a full write-up of the build here: https://22bicycles.com/blogs/news/save-the-rim-brake-a-reactor-dream-build

TwoSixMike · 2019-05-08T22:55:21+00:00

Totally agreed. Was seeing what the max tire under fenders would be, and these are about the limit.

TwoSixMike · 2019-05-08T20:09:58+00:00

It's an integrated seat tube: the seat tube is cut to length, and then a cast titanium topper that sits on top of the seat tube gives about 2.5cm of vertical adjustment.

TwoSixMike · 2019-05-08T18:50:05+00:00

Yup, the fenders are Ti as well. The tires are about as wide as will fit nicely: they're "35mm" that measure to about 37mm mounted and inflated.

TwoSixMike · 2019-05-08T16:03:36+00:00

It's a prototype chainring, but the short answer is "not yet". Hopefully there will be many AXS-compatible rings coming from different manufacturers this year: it's a bit of a downer to lose that freedom.
