Shit! Sorry. My bad. I forgot that about this thread.
My post said something about being surprised that Sime was taken by a bike like this.
Yep, into all sorts of bikes. and I really like that one you just posted as well.
Liking the bikes coming out of the relatively new Rogers Bespoke of Adelaide, especially this tourer. Nice branding and choice of colour blocking across this bike, would ride.

Really into the stance of this bike. If anyone has pics/link to similar builds I’d love to see them.
Currently putting together a build with a similar vibe/mabo. Going to be running 38-40c touring tyres under VO hammered Noir fenders as one setup, being able to switch out for MTB tyres sans fenders.
Also chose to go with Canti’s to also make switching between dirt drops or sweepy “alt” bars a little more straight forward and to also give lots of tyre clearance. Going to first build the bike with some On One Mary bars which I have on hand already. but here is the above bike built with Jones H-bars and a link to a blogpost regarding the handlebar conversion for all you other beardo nerds.
STANCE!
STANCE BRAH! = “I like to picture my touring bikes in a tuxedo t-shirt… cause it says like, I wanna go touring, but I’m here to party too.”
I don’t particularly like those bars on this guy, but I reckon it would look sick with some risers or slightly swept back bars
Jimmy did mini velo good
Tiny frames with big wheels aint got stance
$5000USD for a commuter.
Good STANCE though…
In all seriousness though, one of these with internally routed hydro discs would be so fun.
Surely Prolly paid for his? This deserves its own thread, sacha white has lost the plot
Feeling these guys for an “almost a dirt drop but not” bar. If I was running bar ends instead of SRAM Rival, I’d want some.
Ultimate FTW pro fit verging on muppet setup… but I dig it.
^ Looks tiny! Young rider?
Na,it’s setup for this guy.
Crazy details here Yu Takai | Flickr

Kinda dig Dodici’s new Leggero LII
Only clear coat on the rear triangle though…
This thread is getting forgotten about…
Here is some fat tyre drop bar porn from 44 Bikes.
IMO, The rear light looks a bit dicky, something nice and small in a black body like a supernova would fit in a little nice with the build.
Interesting build story/report and more pics at http://www.44bikes.com/44blog/?p=1400
^ there’s a lot of stuff wrong with that bike atmo
