JFC NY Times, you're just noticing his decline now?. It's been self-evident for years.

You can predict the outcome of this court's decisions with two questions:
A: Will it cause chaos?

B: Is it cruel?

They seem to feel it's bonus points if the answer to both is yes.

Thanks! You can’t hear it, but I squee like a little kid in my head every time someone says they like it.

Because that’s what this bike is designed for as a low-trail bike. It’s biased to handle weight on the front. Even fully loaded with two panniers it handles completely neutral. It’s almost unnerving how normal it feels. More stability climbing passes too is also nice bonus.

I’ve toured with both this and a more standard four pannier setup and this one is far better, IMO.

Haha no. Just a rider with very particular tastes.

A Crust Ramanceür. Built it out as my commuter/touring bike.

Bike’s a bit dirty, but that’s inevitable when you commute in our rainy winters.

 

This past Sunday's ride, a view across the water from Alki Beach in West Seattle.
