What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

[TheRadness]

Ordered a BSD Raider 21.6 and the 10" bars to match.
It's going to feel awesome.

[CHROME_RIMS_YO]

got a new 9t gsport driver for $11. next paycheck will go towards an s&m drive side guard and possibly an eclat short sniper brake lever and one of those kink cables with the rotating barrel lug thing.

i just ordered one too, in 21"... i'm 6ft, 21.6 would be overkill.
Gonna love that sky high standover and headtube

[TheRadness]

I'm only 6ft 3, but have been riding a 26 with a 22+ TT for awhile.
Whenever I jump on the current 21" I have it feels super tiny.

Just briding the gap more then anything!

yeah i know what you mean, i usually ride 21.25 frames (i trade this frame with my cult os in 21.25) but wanted to try a shorter toptube, but i will run a longer backend, around 13.8, on the raider.
 i actually feel a 21tt/13.8cs frame more stable and more balanced than a 21.25tt/13.5

[paranoidmexican]

got my free coaster wheel and chase bars....flatland bike is going together tonight possibly

have you checked out the 22 inch wheeled bikes?

[TheRadness]

I looked at em a bit.

Big part of the Raider that I really dig is the fact that the back end is still decently short.
I've been playing around with 24" bikes and 26" bikes for some time now, and after getting back on the 20 I decided I'm here to stay.

I wanna be that weird old dude with the spikey blond hair and knee socks still riding around on a cruiser doing bunny hops, 180's and hop manuals all over town.

took it down a handrail finally, 11 years in the making

My second A Ross Veteran died in the arse, so put my trust kevlar Aitken on. If only they made Veterans in kevlar. The Aitken is a great seat, comfier to sit on/longer than a Veteran, but it needs to come down more on the sides so it's nicer to pinch with the knees (like a Veteran).

Moved post up to compensate for lower seat and my Animal clamp exploded. I only ever tightened it up once in it's entire life. Back to the trust Sunday clamp, now with grease between it and the frame and mounted backwards for superior clamping powah. Went to do a barspin, fell on arse and smashed peg into ankle. I miss my Veteran already :<

I have been weirdly tempted to do this lately too... At 6'2" I think I could pull it off but I think it might still be overkill. Wish the Raider had a size between 21 and 21.6 though. Probably end up just sticking with my 21" V1 BSD Forever a bit longer and get some 9" bars with some upsweep and a decently high stem come spring and see how that feels for my back.

Congrats dude!

Doesn't the forever come in 21.4 or something also?

I like that just about every BSD frame out there has a solid 3-4 wide size ranges.

I was tempted to buy a deuce deuce at one point also, then saw the price tag and total lack of any inovation (besides a long TT) and decided fuck that noise.

Picked up a pair of Animal MTT also, I know people seem to dislike them but I've always dug em since I first saw them.

Which rail Ben?

[dude...]

hillcrest primary, lowest rail in the world. its below the bottom of headtube height

[GUMP_]

Lower than phenross? I thought that was the lowest baby rail.
