I love my “fake” rando bike ahah but its not a fast bike. I can immediately feel the difference going to my roadie. To me it does not matter though, its a very comfortable bike, the rando bike lets me carry a ton of stuff. It looks nice and its really fun to ride. I will say that I am bot surprised most of the bikes you see at events and the fastest bikes don’t look like a 1962 rene herse.

Dude finished PBP twice in one year.
Good to see that he is not the typical 130lbs very skinny dude, that is impressive albeit a bit crazy
