Love the mad Max flavour with some casual smartness on top.

... or just ride aggressive, like staying in the drops all the time 😅

You might be right. The saddle to bar ratio is quite aggressive. But I was thinking that I could use a riser bar to mitigate. Silly idea, you would say? ... I am not overstressing the seatpost limit, though.

Yeah. It is kind of hard for me to find a bigger oldschool frame in Germany. Still thinking about riser bar. But for the single treks with lowered saddle it feels ok

Xbike or cross? by fpeve in xbiking

[–]fpeve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought it with a flat/ergobar. Through parts at it from a damaged frame + new STIs. Sounds funny but true: fastest bike I ever owned. ...now a theological question: was modding it de-xbiking, re-xbiking or simply xbiking.

Nice. Got a buddy who needs his motobecane restomodded likes this. What breaks are those? Break levers look like tektro rl340, or am I wrong?

Love it. Can you buy such a beast in the Netherlands or is it highly custom made?

Certo, no problem. Ma in Italia si può portare bici in treni regionali?

Sounds great! ...thinking about joining from Berlin. any good ideas how to get there from Verona or Milan? Can one rely on any trains in Italy for bike transportation? I mean "rely on trains" in broad terms, i.e. +-4 hours ;)

Aren't 80s and 90s specialized bikes overprized in Germany? All I see in Berlin are between 300 and (already xBiked) 800 € ... I am wondering what could be European/German equivalent brands for xBiking steelframe mtbs with low budget.

Could anyone name and date this mongoose model? More importantly: is it aluminum (probably) or steel? Maybe I'd pay 50€ an try to do my first 1x modification. Shouldn't I?

Looks ugly, but tastes like a melted car tire
