not sure if compliment but i concede its def function>form for this build.
Highest of praise, I just want to ride it!
How do you find shocks with drops? My mate built up a fully rigid SS MTB with drop bars and TRP Hylex brakes/levers and it was baller. Then he swapped the rigid fork for a 100mm shock and it turned into a turd – something about cornering with drops and suspension threw the handling out awfully.
Forks are rigid!
A set of nukeproof carbon jobbies, can confirm its fun to ride! Albeit its mainly my commuting rig.
Long overdue bar tape replacement. Previous stuff had lost adhesive, so it was never actually wrapped effectively. It started shifting around halfway up Berowra this morning so my hand(s) were forced.
Dealt with what has to be the worst brake ever invented. What an infuriating POS

Picked this up for my North qld bike. I have none up here currently. This is as it was when I got it. It needed some tlc as it had been sitting outside for years.
2000ish Avanti 26er Ventura Comp?
I’m just waiting on some parts, I’ll post a parts list and photo of it complete once it’s back together
Slow to catch up, but this is a great mod!
Did a full drivetrain revamp on the Primate: rings, BB, chain, cassette, pulley wheels. Makes for a nice-riding bike, that’s for sure.
Oh, and for the last thousand or so kms I’ve been running Chorus 11 shifters with my Ultegra 6700, thanks to Blakey. Recommended.
this is raz af.
Say it so the old people can understand.
I really like your bicycle.
Thanks jamesy. It’s a good bike.
good bike for a good egg I reckon.
Yeah I love that bike

WFH half day to knock up uberkommuter:
You think it’s tall now…I lowered the seat by 90mm, flipped the stem and took out 10mm of spacers under the stem. Previous owner was 6’8". It’s ‘only’ a 61c/t ST x 59c/c TT. The threadless steerer tube is 330mm long and looks like a medieval weapon when you pull it out of the frame.
How long is that stem!? 140mm?
Didn’t measure it, but gotta be 130 or 140. Weird fit geo but I like it so far.
