Cool show, lots of gold! They'll be talking about it for weeks over at retrobike

Ok so not a bike but these reasonable cost gravel tires look interesting.

Nice. Wish they had some 27.5+ options

Pretty few options in over 50mm

All these whipper snappers saying 26 is dead

Honestly hopeful that this lockdown noise will cause a resurgence in the 26 market: I'm seeing more people dusting off the old steel, and finding that they kinda like it.

Same. There are a few interesting ones that have come out recently like the Rene Herse Humptulip, Ultradynamico Mars and Terra One Rider T1. The first two of them are more focused on gravel style riding but still.

I really want something more grippy then a Maxxis Ardent but not a full out Minion DHF. The problem for me is for the most part people riding 26in are either gravel riders with 26in conversions, commuters/causal riders with old mtbs/walmart specials, dirt jumpers or freeriders.

Rob warner is doing a pretty special one, but it'll be a few episodes. You gotta watch him eat lunch, and meet his dad

Most people on 26" here are older than I am, using them for shopping, while younger riders are riding to the fields because there was not enough room in the tractor cab...

Sea Otter Retro

Mostly adding the link for the extremely beautiful 1895 Lu-Mi-Num.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Wow, don't think I've ever seen a skip tooth as clean as that! That first Stumpjumper and the full sus Manitou are pretty good stuff too

Sweet retro dirt jump frame

I wish shipping from the UK wasn't so expensive...

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Holy moly, that's like a hundred bucks! There's probably almost that much aluminum in the beast! As for shipping, don't get me started. Getting that into Canada would easily triple the price.

I would murder for that Logic crank on the Ritchey!

 

[93EXCivic]

I really like the combo of this old frame with a 26 fat front fork.
