Thanks! You can’t hear it, but I squee like a little kid in my head every time someone says they like it.

♨️ Path Less Pedaled, is this you? 😅

Haha no. Just a rider with very particular tastes.

Why a front rack I stead of rear?

Because that’s what this bike is designed for as a low-trail bike. It’s biased to handle weight on the front. Even fully loaded with two panniers it handles completely neutral. It’s almost unnerving how normal it feels. More stability climbing passes too is also nice bonus.

I’ve toured with both this and a more standard four pannier setup and this one is far better, IMO.

What a beauty, what bike is that?

[-] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

A Crust Ramanceür. Built it out as my commuter/touring bike.

Bike’s a bit dirty, but that’s inevitable when you commute in our rainy winters.
