What's your gastank/bentobox/top tube bag? Do you like it? Do you have any problems with your knees hitting it when you are out of the saddle? Thx...... |

It's an Oveja Negra snack pack.
It's useful and well-made. It works on a mtb because the top tube is very long and has a flat top, so it stays put and my knees don't hit it. It does flop around and hit my knees on a road bike having a shorter top tube that is round. |

Care to share with us the specs , tubing and geometry ?
I've seen a few eriksen gravel or cx on the bay that could have fit except they had super super super high stack |

Thanks! It is awesome. I did three hours today over mixed terrain today. It went through mud and gravel without hesitation and feels light and quick. It feels almost like a drop bar xc bike. You feel like you are riding in it not on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'd like to hear your thoughts on those Compass knobbies: how fast they roll on the unsealed surfaces and sealed, compared to a Compass file-tread if you've been on them also.

The knobbies rolled through mud and sand without any issues. They felt planted even at the higher pressure I was running them at. They roll surprisingly well on pavement, but not quite as smooth as the file tread. The file tread on the same terrain would slip a little more when in mud or soft rutted sand. They rolled better on the road than the steilicoom, but the steilicoom aren’t awful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I will say, the welds and tube shaping on this frame are pretty impressive, well exceeded my expectations. Rides ok too I guess |

Sweet. Custom for you? Reminds me of this, which I found yesterday (linked to from the updated Firefly website)... http://www.bitchngrit.com/blog-1/201...eam-bike-build

i particularly like how active it ISNT on smooth terrain...i dont want it to suck away energy that im putting into forward movement or steering. |
