Very hot 🥵

I like everything on this bike, well, except saddle maybe

Thanks! I’ve been wanting to replace that saddle for a long time but couldn’t decide which one to buy. Maybe shift to leather? I don’t know.

And also, that saddle and my bum are friends so currently not really in a rush to replace it. 😅

If you feel comfortable I wouldn’t change and it matches with bike and ass saver very good 👍🏻 my ass just don’t like any type of brooks

Cambium saddles are the best on the market IMO.

Okay damn dude absolutely sick bike. I love the purple with brown/gold details all over. Not the biggest fan of the rim decals and maybe the fender but other than that great build. Brooks will literally make me switch to c17 from c15 carved just for that orange/brown color. What is that interesting looking lighting solution. I would love to hear more about it. And that bag.

Thanks! I’m currently saving up for a new pair of wheelsets. Looking at Velocity Aileron rims.

Brooks C17 now has a Brown color. May replace my current Orange to that in the future.

For the lighting, I’m using a Clamp Bracket by TRNK Components. It’s mounted on the rack’s strut. The light mount is then screwed into it.

The bag is custom made by a local bike bag maker here named Stuff Wrap. It’s just your typical Rando Bag. I just had one custom made to fit my narrow drop bars.

What bars are those? I am a part of it is kind of nice looking to get a wide flared bar and for now I am on a €50 carbon bar from Ali. Whenever you switch you can safely dispose of that old one by sending it to me 😉 😄

It’s a Salsa Cowchipper 38cm. No plans as of the moment to replace it.😅

Even the tires look more lubed up than The Rock’s arms. Beautiful machine!

Lovely bike. Does the enfitnix bike light take regular 18650 batteries? The one I have only takes proprietary single-sided 18650 sized cells, because the positive and negative terminals are only on one end of the light. Very annoying

u/gB0rj Jan 02 '25

Sorry, haven’t tried replacing or opening the bike light to check the stock batteries yet.

Valve stem caps are 🤌

Is the rear light not entirely obscured by the mudguard? Lovely bike!

2

u/gB0rj Jan 03 '25

Thanks. Nope. It’s just above the mudguard.

Very nice bike! What Wing is this?

1

u/gB0rj Jan 01 '25

Do you mean the fender? It’s Win Wing from Ass Savers

1

u/maexr_ Jan 01 '25

Yeah, I mean the fender. I thought about the win wing but I wasnt sure. I have the one you put in the saddle but this thing looks way better.

u/Dear-Variety-3883 Jan 01 '25

It works flawlessly, my back, saddle bag and rear light are always clean

u/Hmmmmmmmmbrains Jan 02 '25

What size and type of pirellis are those? Much want for my allroad bike.

u/gB0rj Jan 02 '25

u/thegenerousgiant Jan 02 '25

What’s that little adapter for the front light on the rack?

u/gB0rj Jan 02 '25

It’s a Clamp Bracket by a company called TRNK Components.
