a complete look at my #tracklocross #brothercycles #allday. Allday on dry days, though, because the 47mm #650b tires leave little room for fun things like sticky mud or nice sticks you find on the way.

This build includes the #gravelhubball to shy away paved roads.

🖕Heute von einem #Baumdieb #LKW von der #LinkenheimerAllee im #Hardtwald in die Matsche gejagt worden. Was hatte ich einen Zorn.
Dunkel, der kommt mir mit Licht entgegen, recht neuer asphaltierter Weg ist praktisch nur die Breite des LKWs. Ohne wirklich langsamer zu werden fährt der schön mittig weiter. Ich bin dann, da auch keine Ausweichstelle mehr erreichbar war vom Weg, ca. 30cm in die aufgeweichte und zerfahrende Matsche runter. Zum Glück mit breiten #650B. #700C mit 25mm wäre übel gewesen.

Thank you for converting my @somafab Stanyan to #650B, @freerangecycles ! #cycling #bicycle

Karma Wheels frame, fork, and stem #madeinliege with a mix of NOS @tangeseiki Ultimate Super Light and Prestige tubes for the front triangle, @dedacciai_official chainstays, and mainly #4130 for the rest. For the fork: laser-cut dropouts and ISO brake mount.

Custom bags by @c_pouki made from old #strichtarn tent fabric.

The wheels are built with vintage @sunringlewheels Dirty Flea and @hopetech Pro 2 hubs with @stansnotubes Crest rims, @sapim_official spokes, and @simworks X Hoshi raw brass nipples, with @maxxistires tires and @reservewheels valves

The rest of the build is a mix of salvaged parts: @ritcheylogic seatpost, @whiteind crankset, @3tbike handlebars, @selle_italia saddle; @shimanomtb brakes (new); @stridsland_journal chainring, @velocicycle pedals, @wolf_tooth_comp grips, @bluelug rear light
