i've never used a third bottle, have any of you? are they easy to reach? it seems like you would be getting a steady diet of tirespray mud, sand, cowpoop, and giardia. i guess you get that pretty much anyway, just in lower doses from the regular mount.
i do have some behind the saddle dual mount cages that i used on a long hot unsupported ride back in the 90s. functional but weird.

Ooh, nice. Not a fan of seatmast though.

i recognize that this is completely irrational, since they're the best wheels money can buy, but i can't stand lightweight wheels on bikes. not from a functional perspective, but the logo/name just kills the bike aesthetically. it's like if your bike were made by a company called "really fast" and your downtube had a big decal with "really fast" printed in times new roman. couldn't they just make a cool logo and slap that on there instead? (or, since they don't really do much marketing anyway, no log at all?)

suspect there are like 1,000 straight-from-alibaba carbon frames with variations of faux-brand "really fast."

Is that titanium?

100% agree with you, when I first saw the bike the Meilenstein was uppermost and I was wondering who made these wheels with such cool graphics, then I saw the crappy Lightweight decals and they are an instant turnoff.

Titatnium, yes
I really like that it is a seat mast, it makes the top tube/seat tube lug really nice
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 6 July 2014 06:38 (nine years ago) link
yeah my objection is not the visual aesthetic, that seattube 'lug' is nice.
i do think the aesthetic of a 1 1/8 stem clamp over a 44mm headtube continues to be bad.
― the times recommends: gluten-free dining in italy! (Hunt3r), Sunday, 6 July 2014 13:12 (nine years ago) link
Definitely agree on that one, I'm not sure tapering the tube would make it much better.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 6 July 2014 13:19 (nine years ago) link
I'm also not entirely sure what the whole tapered steerer thing is supposed to achieve, test theres a bigger crown race but I've never hear a complaint about the load bearing capacity or longevity of a 1 1/8th inch crown race

I now have a ti bike with a 1" hs, and a carbon cx with a pretty massive 1.5/1.25 hs, and while the dif is apparent in riding I don't think it's due to control or precision issues on the road. Imo. On dirt I like the os headset though. Longevity? My 97 Chris King 1" is flawless still.
