Semi-pursuit? Top tube drops more than my Cannondale. Did 25mi yesterday and that was about all my hands could take. Cotton tape doesn't cushion at all. Next time I'll make sure to where my gloves.

This thing is one of my all-time favorites. Everything about it is great.

Started working as a courier, local community helped out with every part on the build.

Well, I couldn't wait until after work, and tossed the last couple bits on this to make it rideable over lunch break. Forgive me for the jaunty saddle angle, I was in a bit of a hurry.

I cannot be the only one that thinks that the purple bar tape looks really out of place. The bike is sweet, but man o man, that tape. Yuck. Why purple?

seau grateau 05-13-16 01:05 AM

Nah the purple is chic as ****. Black would be boring, red would be too matchy-matchy.

Not the only one, I think the purple takes away from the red/checkered combo. Still a cool bike.

If that was my bike, I would have gone with black and white tape, to pull the small amount of checkers on there out. I just don't understand the purple. Like it looks completely random and not thought out. The bike is sweet, don't get me wrong, but that tape just doesn't do it justice.

I guess I'm not down. Not sure how I get down. Not sure I want to be down.

motrheadsroadie 05-13-16 11:39 AM

SpeshulEd 05-13-16 11:42 AM
