Re: Re:

What do you think Rob? I found it very light and quick.

It looks heavy (headtube junction) but its light, tight, flickable, get up to speed quick, maintains speed well, I usualy run 22,32,42 up front but I'm running a 44 and I'm pulling well on it, which had me wondering about the gearing as I shouldn't be able to do all that at this moment. Its buttery smooth, plush, and the arse end really follows the contours of the ground when climbing, to put it in a nut shell its a "fast ride" :twisted:

Hey, just noticed 12000 posts

Two perfect looking Macduro (TM) bikes there
Good work guys.

When's the big MacDuro event?

September, I think. Want to wait until after holiday time to try and get a worthwhile turnout.

I've never gotten accustomed to a bike as quickly as I have with this Kona, it feels like I've been riding it for four months not four days :shock:

Re:

Finished building up my Charge Plug frame, as I know you all love a tenuous reason for putting a big together here goes....Its to fill to hole of winter trainer/commuter/rough road and sometime tourer chasm in the fleet . Actually quite excited about it in an almost retro sense. Chose a slightly bigger than normal frame, thus there is less post sticking out compared to a more modern bike. Being a CXish frame this also has a slightly shorter top tube which let me go for the bigger frame, the bonus is also a bit more headtube too. I was really nervous about the fit but thats a 100mm stem up front and its very very comfy, exactly what I was looking for, useable drops and a relaxed top of the bars position. The Tange Prestige tubeset is lovely too in a nice a retro skinny way. Of course its not pretending to be anything but modern but I hope you can see where I'm coming from.

What forks did you go for K?

Looks good Klaus. Only thing I don't like about Charge bikes is the silly decal placement.
Be interested to hear your thoughts on the tyres once you've done a few miles. What size did you go for?

 

[Muddy paw]

Yep i gotta agree about the decals but overall the Charge looks great so lets hope it's as good as you want it to be ..

 

[Jamiedyer]

Looks very good Klaus, very stealthy. Looks like a nice setup for a gravel grinder

When you have a Rudge you don't need a fancy background.
