My Summer Bike (feddit.org)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by superkret@feddit.org to c/bicycles@lemmy.ca
 

Today I revived My Summer Bike!

This one's a bit of a beast โ€” a fixed gear touring gravel bike (?)
Cinelli Tutto frame, bought online in size M (I'm 5'8/172cm), and it needed a seat post with setback, a saddle with long rails scooted all the way back, and all the spacers to make it fit.
I guess I'm tall for Italian standards.

Mounted the widest tires it would take, the lightest rack I could find, and the bare minimum in accessories to make it kinda street legal.
It's the silliest bike I ever built, and it makes me smile every single time I ride it.

You wouldn't wanna see how smug I can look, when other riders arrive at the top of the highest hill around with their E-MTBs and notice my bike, while I'm sitting next to it drinking beer.
