Knobby tire on the front, smooth on the rear, seat not slammed, but not exactly high, bars slightly forward from the forks, and a back-end with some added length… this bike is setup to go fast, high, and stay in control. Check out the Blue Falcon’s kit.

Threw some white Krylon on the seatpost and the back rim, then took paint remover and cleaned off the sides of the rim so the brakes would hit the chrome. And I cut the bars a little.
Your bike is set up pretty big?
21 ¼” top tube, 14 3/8” rear, 28-10, and the Fit DLR stem flipped up.
How often do you work on your bike?
When it has a breakdown—almost never. Bikes that look dialed aren’t ridden enough.
What parts do you go through the most?
Grips, rear tires, tubes
Do you have ever issues switching out “tried and true” parts for the latest versions that your sponsors send you?
I’m about to retire my Tech-77 lever that I’ve had for years for a new Primo one. We’ll see.
