Good for keeping the rain out of my eyes, the bottom half can still get a bit soggy though!

Correct. If anyone's looking to sell a set of Cane Creek Direct Curve 5s then please give me a shout. They're my favourite rim brakes! I stole them off my MB4 to put on another bike, but I'd love to eventually source another set.

Yep it's an xtracycle

Cheers :) I think out of all of them I liked the build with the 650b Pacenti Brevet wheels and the Ritchey Coyote bars the most. I was basically living on that bike at the time though, so it could be I just became super familiar with the setup. I'm on the fence about Ultradynamicos... They...

SJS still sell these I think. I think they're made by Jtek. Cheap compared to the Nitto stuff but some bending required!

😂 It's a conversation starter for sure. I like it but it feels like I'm riding on borrowed time putting my faith in 20+ year old thermoplastic

I found this frame a few years ago for £70. It's been my swiss army knife of bikes; 26er, 650b, mullet, drop bar, flat bar, swept bar, single speed, 1 by, 2 by... Here's a little montage:

I bought a xtracycle free radical for lugging some gear about town and realised how awesome it would be to be able to stand it up and possibly use it as a bench when I'm not pedalling. If anyone has the Kickback 1 kickstand for sale that's compatible with the xtracycle freeradical then please...

I'm in the process of building another bike and the time has come to source a set of brakes. There are two V brakes I currently use... and totally swear by. My favourite (although a bit rare and slightly more spendy) are the Cane Creek Direct Curve 5 brakes. If anyone fancies selling a set then...

Thanks for your replies both. I appreciate the time taken to help me on my search. I've recently recognised my pattern of addiction when it comes to acquiring bike parts and it goes a little something like this: I'll buy the non-compact version of these cranks only to find a reason why I...

Ive ridden anything between 165mm and 175mm and my legs can't see much difference. Currently riding 165mm Middleburns so I guess the shorter the better!

Hey all, I'm after some Ritchey Logic Compact Cranks - either the full chainset or just the cranks themselves. Would ideally like the compact version for the 94 / 58 BCD (as I already have lots of chainrings to fit) but I'll consider other variations if you have them. Cheers!
