It's a vintage cannondale saddle bag that I picked up at a thrift store for $5USD! :D

@@RandyRules oh ok cool! Love this setup!!!

@@RandyRules love this setup !

@@Johann-4354 lol oil slick hubs and gold chain is enough color me. I already own a colorful bike

Best motivation to try and set some PRs 😅

I appreciate you! its a blast to ride also!

lol like and subscribe to my cat channel for more! jk

Bricks were shat at that realization 😅 Thanks! I’m considering going back to a 17t rear cog cause climbing hurts buuuuut descending feels great and I’m not bouncing around as much (the camera also appreciates that lol) We’ll see! Might have to crank up the resistance on those indoor rides lol

Yes! I used to frequently skid from 2018 to this summer (now mostly using a front brake) and not once have I ever accidentally unclipped. For reference I use both speedplay comp and speedplay zero pedals paired with speedplay standard tension cleats. ✌️⚙️

It's very motivating! Now if this rain would just go away so I can enjoy this bike more... PS: LOL, thanks! I got it at Ikea and it was labeled as a bathroom storage cart.. but bar cart seemed like a better idea :p

I've ridden brakeless for years and years and wasn't until this summer when I put on a brake.. those long downhills are more confidence inspiring and my ride stats are slightly faster (if you care about avg speed on those hard effort rides)

I rode for years with a front brake and never used it so I recently took it off, but they are a nice to have

Thank you!! ☺️☺️

Thanks dude! Every upload I see from you in the mornings I’ve been going straight to the trainer to ride along lol

I recorded it vertically for instagram reels/TH-cam shorts. I'm editing a very similar full length format ride that will be up soon :)

38cm :)

I use these on a couple of my bikes. They work really well, just make sure the straps are super tight! www.amazon.com/dp/B0144NTZOU?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_9&amp=&crid=1XAURBFVBGZ1V&amp=&sprefix=sks+bottl

52cm

Thanks for the comment! Honestly haven't ridden a road/fixed gear bike that didn't have a threadless headset so I can see that one being huge!

Yeah I can see the area of concern there. Thanks for the comment! For what it's worth, I did crash big time on this bike a couple times and it's still holding up. HiTen steel isn't the greatest quality (vs chromoly) but it isn't exactly weak, just heavy. If I was cruising around on a Throne Tracklord (cracklord?) it'd be a different story

@@RandyRules that’s good, I’d just say it’s more worth your life to save the money and build up a Dolan precursa or something like a prebuilt from state bicycle co. No cheap bike is worth your life and I’ve seen lock rings slip and heard about chainrings folding on those in the worst circumstances

@Ciuwas I built a Dolan pre Cursa! It’s on my channel lol. I haven’t ridden it yet because i broke my collar bone. But I tell you what… I am PUMPED to get back out there haha

@@RandyRules aw man! That sucks, my friend just broke his hand a handful of weeks ago riding fixed and he’s finally back out there. I hope you recover well man! I currently ride a mash parallax lol

@@Ciuwas Sick ass bike! I have a bunch of mash gear... but no mash frame lmao. One day! Thanks man!

were pretty friggin spoiled over here! the rain gets old, but the summer is so worth it. its so beautiful rn too! :')

@@dougvillela4383 thanks! Almost went the oil slick route but glad I went gold. I already have a whole ass oil slick bike haha 🔥⚙️

I’ve seen an older version of this frame with a completely different Dolan logo on the down tube paired with a smaller Pre Cursa logo on the seat tube. The frame i have is a 2021-2023. The new 2024 frame looks identical to this with the exception of a tapered head tube and new colors.

I got you. www.amazon.com/EVOSID-Printed-Breathable-Waterproof-Cushion/dp/B0C5QZZD4W?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 They also have a non carbon version for $79. The one I have is SO light though.

This is tough. I've seen some REALLY nice wabi lightings. I'm pretty sure the pre cursa has a slightly more aggressive geo and shorter wheelbase so handling will be feel more twitchy and fun, but the lighting should be a touch more comfortable and predictable. You can't go wrong with either. For everyday cycling I would opt for the lightning. Good luck!

I own a Pre Cursa in the regular setup (all Alpina) now for 3yrs. I had the chance to ride a Wabi, because of an other TH-camr promoting it intensively 😉 What I can say is that the Pre Cursa is a bullet, it kind of transfers all moves you’re doing on that bike into acceleration. It’s just so good and I don’t want anything else. I tried also many other brands and at the end I’d say the Pre Cursa is a blast, if you’re performance driven. I went also for pretty long rides like 190km and I felt always comfortable, no complaints regarding stiffness whatsoever. The Wabi didn’t convince me at all, it felt almost boring compared to the aluminum Pre Cursa frame. Just my humble opinion.

@@warkingmarsi went with a wabi lightning its been good so far def a lot better than my aluminum unkwn frame but that doesnt compare to a cursa. For sure in the future would build a cursa

Thank you Rusty! I absolutely can't wait to rip on this thing!

Thank you so much! Can’t wait to get on this thing! Yeah I sized down on the frame for a slight weight decrease, but added a longer stem so that I can fit. I have a 120mm stem laying around just in case if it’s too long lol

@@RandyRules I'm sure it will be crazy fun to ride !)

Thank u!! 🙌 it’s been a minute since my last upload since I’m still in recovery from my bike crash lol but I’ll be pumping out videos soon enough with my new bike (yay) and of course my beloved golden cycles! ⚙️💨

pretty sure that was all front brake

Is it torpedo?or is it doltrap? ​@@RandyRules

@@Giyuu-FixedGear I actually had to look up what these meant, so I thank you for the comment! doltrap, no freewheel

@@raybenavides4906 Awesome! Hopefully you’ll be out here to enjoy the sunshine before it gets rainy for like 8 months straight! If you have IG check out cyclehomies and cyclecats. Cyclecats hosted a pretty epic 80mile 5,000ft + elevation fixed gear ride recently www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/ That’s a Portland ride calendar that gets updated with new rides pretty often. There’s a lot going on in there. There’s also a fixed gear group ride that meet up on tuesdays on the east side, I’m not sure if they continue that in the fall - I’ll get back to you if I find out more info. I’ve always wanted to join that. Vancouver, WA is pretty close and they also have weekly fixed gear rides too. If you like climbing there’s always roadies and fixed gear riders that train in the west hills, forest park, and Washington park. Scenery is foresty, not too much cars, and lots of gravel sections if you feel like getting off the road for a bit. Springwater corridor is a bike path that takes you from Portland to Boring. Its an out and back bike path that totals to roughly 42 miles and 800ft of elevation. I do that a few times a year. Always a ton of cyclist on that path. Banks to Vernonia is also a super popular out and back bike path. Also around 40miles but with < 2,000ft elevation gain. Doable on a brakeless set up. It’s a beautiful ride. Not exactly close to Portland but I strongly recommend checking it out on a nice day. I’ll update this if anything else comes to mind! ⚙️💨

Lmao I forgot that even happened! I vaguely remember her smiling as I was hustling so I hit her with the “hey 🙂🚴💨💨💨” 😂

@@RandyRules 🤣🤣🤣🤣

potholes are no fun :( damaged a wheel last summer because of one. RIP

my place have too much hills.. whats the best ratio for hilly roads?

insta360 ace pro paired with a lark m2 mic

@@RandyRules thanks mate. I am looking at it to film my bike rides too. Great footage.

This ride I used 46/17

@@RandyRules thats about 140 cadence?

I ride 48 17

@@thomashammack7743 nice I use that gear ratio on my other bike. Its my favorite so far and I feel like I can get up and down any long hill without too much trouble

I thought it was wood but it ended up being that fake slippery laminate stuff. I went very slow at first but the bridge seemed to go on forever and I wanted to get off of it quickly so I went a little faster. Poor choice haha. I just got home from surgery so now I'll be looking out the window as we are in the tail end of summer 😂 Thanks for the recovery wishes!!

@@mir2.00 it was definitely an enjoyable ride up until the end haha

Thank you!! Yeah, my front tire lost traction and slipped into the railing and that bounced me back to the opposite side of the railing. Not sure if it was the impact on the ground or railing that caused the break. Also I thought I was riding on wood but it was definitely plastic-like, very slippery!

Broken collarbone :/

Bummer buddy. Quick heals ❤​@@RandyRules

Thank you bro 🙏
