i guess i shoulda wrote "lustworthy" above.
is the warbird a "gravel grinder" bike? looks like an underside cage braze-on there. that's great looking, no matter how cynical i get about micro-discipline bikes (yes, i know, gravel grinder ultras are the next whatever, just huge, put one in your quiver next to your randonee, cx, 24 hr mtb, marathon mtb, freeride trail mtb, enduro, adventure rig, and fat bike).

yep 3rd bottle bosses, you can get a frame bag in there too

i've never used a third bottle, have any of you? are they easy to reach? it seems like you would be getting a steady diet of tirespray mud, sand, cowpoop, and giardia. i guess you get that pretty much anyway, just in lower doses from the regular mount.
i do have some behind the saddle dual mount cages that i used on a long hot unsupported ride back in the 90s. functional but weird.

guess third bottle makes sense for touring?

44mm ht on a std steel frame still looks aaaassssss (til i DIE), but otherwise some nice stuff.

Ooh, nice. Not a fan of seatmast though.

i recognize that this is completely irrational, since they're the best wheels money can buy, but i can't stand lightweight wheels on bikes. not from a functional perspective, but the logo/name just kills the bike aesthetically. it's like if your bike were made by a company called "really fast" and your downtube had a big decal with "really fast" printed in times new roman. couldn't they just make a cool logo and slap that on there instead? (or, since they don't really do much marketing anyway, no log at all?)
― eh mec, elle est ou ma caisse? (ytth), Saturday, 5 July 2014 16:43 (nine years ago) link
suspect there are like 1,000 straight-from-alibaba carbon frames with variations of faux-brand "really fast."

Is that titanium?
― i reject your shiny expensive consumerist stereo system (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 6 July 2014 06:12 (nine years ago) link
100% agree with you, when I first saw the bike the Meilenstein was uppermost and I was wondering who made these wheels with such cool graphics, then I saw the crappy Lightweight decals and they are an instant turnoff.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 6 July 2014 06:37 (nine years ago) link
Titatnium, yes
I really like that it is a seat mast, it makes the top tube/seat tube lug really nice
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 6 July 2014 06:38 (nine years ago) link
yeah my objection is not the visual aesthetic, that seattube 'lug' is nice.
i do think the aesthetic of a 1 1/8 stem clamp over a 44mm headtube continues to be bad.
― the times recommends: gluten-free dining in italy! (Hunt3r), Sunday, 6 July 2014 13:12 (nine years ago) link
Definitely agree on that one, I'm not sure tapering the tube would make it much better.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 6 July 2014 13:19 (nine years ago) link
I'm also not entirely sure what the whole tapered steerer thing is supposed to achieve, test theres a bigger crown race but I've never hear a complaint about the load bearing capacity or longevity of a 1 1/8th inch crown race

I now have a ti bike with a 1" hs, and a carbon cx with a pretty massive 1.5/1.25 hs, and while the dif is apparent in riding I don't think it's due to control or precision issues on the road. Imo. On dirt I like the os headset though. Longevity? My 97 Chris King 1" is flawless still.
