Love it. Great fan of the long and low bike.

running a 52t ring, 12-25 cassette

my knee is f*cked up, so i just ride the flats and rollers

it's a fast bike

Looks a real drag racer.
I do like 1x on a road bike. Having ridden a cx bike 1x for the last 20 years i just really like the simplicity of it. I get that when you're racing you might want a close ratio block and a double so that you can match subtle changes in pace, but if you're not racing i don't see it as such an issue.

My recent long and low cross frame i had made for me.

Sweet !

who was the framebuilder?

 

[wynne]

Thanks!
Chickens Frame Emporium, near Brighton in UK.
I had some decals made that Jon (Chickens) doesn't like very much, but i do. Also trying out a stem with 20mm of damping. Like a much better version of the old proflex.
