My Summer Bike (feddit.org)

Today I revived My Summer Bike!

This one's a bit of a beast — 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.

Yeah, unless you want to mount wide tires.
Then you'd be limited to extremely rare (expensive) 80's MTB frames and 26" wheels.

Yeah, that part sucks. I think most frames from that era can fit 26x2.2 ish though, which is something

Oh btw, that Ukraine-EU flag is nice touch. Meaningful, and happens to fit the color scheme just perfectly
