Rim Brake Perfection, lets fan boy yours..

[Pastashop]

In order of increasing tire size…

[AngryScientist]

That RED Zank is awesome!

Gearing looks way too tall for my preferences, otherwise, just my kind of build too, well done! Are those RH 38's squeezed in there?

[Pastashop]

Yup. They’re on narrow rims, so actual width is ~35 mm.
As you can tell, I’m perfectly happy running single pivot brakes. Maybe I’ve unusually high grip strength?..

You know, I recently put together a bike with fat tires and Superb single pivots, and they work really well. No complaints.

Sharp looking ride, Angry!
I esp like those cranks - pre-delamination… I think those are prob my favorite Shimano cranks ever, combining aesthetics I like and engineering I value.

Steilacoom. Single pivot caliper. Zanconato.

It's hard not to want to ride this everyday. I do give my 14 year old Lynskey some ride time too, but this bike just does everything so darn well and is so much fun to ride! I'm happy with N=2, but if I do ever get another bike it's likely going to be another Bishop.

That is indeed a nice design touch. His stems are beautiful but the absence of a detachable faceplate makes them a no-go for me.

Agreed, and I think its my size!! So cool with the giant knobbies! It even has my favourite saddle on it - not too common....

The Serotta traveller is not-too-shabby as well - I think Ive missed your great bikes when surfing the custom bike galleries!

Thank you for the kind words! I'll have to share some more –*I'm constantly reconfiguring them, partly to try new bits, partly as my way of stress-relief / psychotherapy. Happy to share and hear that these builds resonate!

Jesus - that thing has some lines. [x] like

[camelbackkid]

I'd venture a guess that there are more rim-brake bikes here on PL than not.

Hot damn that looks fast. What is the deal with those chainstays? They look gigantic.
