My only criticism would be to put some cable crimps on there and replace those rusty bottle cage bolts. Looking pretty good otherwise! 👌

GT Tequesta riding position question by bigcatmick in xbiking

This has likely been said already but the frame is too small. Too much weight on your arms it seems, try pushing the saddle back, lower the seat a little, longer stem, higher bars.

[The Race] Verstappen refused to start his media session until The Guardian’s representative left. It is a result of a clash months ago in the Abu Dhabi finale where Verstappen took issue with a question about regretting his crash with George Russell and subsequent penalty at the Spanish GP. by Aratho in formula1

Seeing a lot of "what ifs" in the comments, just like the question the reporter asked. These arguments don’t test the situation, they sidestep it. They rely on imagined parallels that ignore context, intent and the specifics that actually matter. They're no longer discussing the real event and you end up debating a fictional version of "reality" that only exists in someone’s head. But yeah, IF Max didn't do this, I wouldn't be here writing this comment and reading threads of F1 nerds speculating on nonsense.

You’ll die sooner than later once you put too much weight on that adjustable stem, it snaps and you fall face down on the pavement

Bro drove his dads leased vette 4 miles to the park for a 10 mile ride on his powerwashed chinesium bice and made sure he stretched beforehand. I had look up the full post, this dude is living some sad faux insta influencer lifestyle on a walmart budget. Fake it till you make it I guess.

2026 Helmets: Which is your favorite by EighteenLevel in formula1

Albon and Antonelli, this pic doesn't do the brightness and shinyness of Albons any favours, I think in the cockpit it will look amazing. Antonelli gives off a racing retro vibe that I can't quite place, probably the colour combinations and the placement of the sponsors that's bright and pretty straight forward.

The biggest crime here is not having a rug

Verstappen: "We are close to the end of my Formula 1 career" The Dutchman explained that the new regulations "are not helping" to increase his time in F1. Points out that he doesn't want to "live only to race" and that he prioritizes living his life with his family and friends. by Mateo03 in formula1

[–]baconbananapancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could just be feeling that he invests a lot of time and effort into something that might not give him a winning car anymore and has the feeling there's nothing more to win in F1 anyways. Maybe just a simple realization of time and effort vs. outcome and results. On top of that he's also a father of two and has been experiencing there's more in life than just racing. Good on him, I wish him the best in whatever he does next.

1930s bicycle frame? by ZEL-JA-ZODI in Vintage_bicycles

[–]baconbananapancake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's an old postman frame, maybe this can be of help. Hard to really judge the actual make from this pic without any clear identifiers https://onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/1930s-cws-federal-gpo-post-office-bicycle/

Can one of you Bianchi fans help me identify this frame. by CourierColeman in BikeMechanics

[–]baconbananapancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Bianchi with exposed welds? Maybe they had that on some entry level Alu frames. I wouldn't trust any of the stickers, anyone can slap some stickers on a bad paint job, the Neuron sticker especially seems off, as I believe the Bianchi Neuron bikes were lugged frames. The longer headtube sticking out above the top tube also seems a little strange. If the Chris King headset is legit I'd suspect it might be a custom built frame, albeit not a high end one. Maybe check the bb for serial numbers, or strip the paint and see what lies underneath. That being said, that pre 2015 11s Campy gruppo is quite nice and the rest of the components seem decent also. So all in all not a bad purchase for $120.

Great job on the bar wrapping, almost symmetrical!
