nothing special, I was thinking of making this thing more aggressive by throwing a wolf 650c fork, not so sure though...

Volume cutter?

I think you should sell it, as a FSFG frame is not the place to start if you're looking for aggressive.

Made a few more changes...
Swapped the cyclometer, new rear light, and put on some new Ergon Gp5 bars ends to make a hybrid bullhorn bar


Along with adding some new rubber, Vittoria Rando Hypers in 38mm. They are really nice tires and can see why so many speak well of them

wabi lost a one of a kind and underpriced product for something thats easy to get for less elsewhere, and thats a bummer.

and as solbrothers and i have said, the mash is centered around an intentionally flawed element, the head tube being way too short, so the flopped stem makes perfect sense.

that's why I did it yeah. I wanted to improve the stiffness but didn't want a ridiculous saddle to bar drop. reach feels about the same as spacers +flat but may not look as good (nothing sexy about an erect stem). I'll probably cut some of that steerer tube eventually too

i had a downward sloping toptube and a zero degree stem. not only was it awkward, but somewhere an engineer was facepalming. upward sloping top tubes increase stiffness.

a stem and top tube that "agree" and functionally make sense is even sexier.

Chain

Is that a chain being used as a saddle anti-theft device, or is that how you carry a spare? Or am I wrong about both of those guesses?

Yeah its my only bike, so it works double as my cargo bike.

Few weeks ago before the recent overhaul.

I could easily post a pic of him, but I shall refrain.

I thought about doing that but i wanted a quick fix, I always hate waiting for the right frame to come along. Besides, I saw this and got a little inspired of the possibility of turning my cutter into more of a speed machine.

This is my new commuting SS bike.

I wanted to use Road wheel, then I ordered a custom frame in Kobe, Japan.
The rear end O.L.D is 130mm, with quick release.





This bike uses Kaisei 8630R that is usally used for Keirin frame. Well stiff and very smooth.
