I'm assuming you mean front wheel drive, rear wheel steering? Good luck steering with a rear wheel at any kind of speed.

there's an urban planner that lives on the next block from me and every time I talk to her (which I avoid at this point) it's like I'm talking to Temple Grandin

its like all of them are autistic, urban planners, engineers, every transit degree

>>894613
ya, well, that seems to be their niche in society. that and computers. but it makes sense. they aren't going to have any interest in, say, public relations or retail etc. they want rules and order. IRL trainsets.

>OTOH all I really care about while I'm actually on my bike is knowing exactly how fast I'm going.
Even the cheapest BC shaped object will do that. Get some cheap Sigma if available.

Get the CatEye one with the speed & cadence sensor that's wireless. Good budget computer with no crumby wire to route to the bars.

r you stupid? you'll be hit by a car, idiot. You want to die?

You are invisible.

Having a good front light really helps, though make sure you point it to the ground, making sure you don't blind other people if it's something like an mtb light.

>not front suspension
But it does have front suspension! lol

Cannondale catalogs are readily available online, I'm not going to go hunting for your specific model but you can likely find it in years 1992-1995. Market value is minimal, look what the cheapest working bike goes for in your market and that's what I'd expect it to sell for - it's not a desireable bike nor are there any nice parts worth transplanting to a better frame.

Not sure what it is, but it's collectible

This is now a collectible bicycles thread. Do you know where I could get one of the ultra-rare pic relateds? Do you think I could get one for under 9000 shekels?

Brunel and a load of other engineers already beat him to the punch.

It's kinda sad that the media praised Musk for thinking up something that has already been extensively researched by engineers since the late 19th century but I guess you can't expect much from the "quick&dumb" media cycle.

it looks like that thing you use at the bank drive thru

Ignore the fork. Im getting it threaded and cut tomorrow.

I guess my real question is what would you do?

Why use the RSX STIs of course

there's no braze on mounts, i mean you can use a problem solvers band or something, but it's not gonna be that clean, so STIs.

If it had braze on mounts, Tiagra 8 speed indexed downtube are very cheap on crc, so that would be the alternative imo. Also shimergo if you want to drop some cash.

Get some decals too solid white/ black is boring as fuck.

Why can't these go in /bqg/?

Well, since this thread is already here, anyone have experience with Seat-post bags? Not saddle bags, I am looking for something larger, and for touring, on a road bike.
I just want to get rid of anything on my back, as going up and down 3000m over 150km distance with a backpack wasn't the most pleasant experience in 35°C.
I already have a handlebar bag, which held about 3kg. The backpack was about 5kg. I could evenly distribute it to make it 4-4kg back and front.
Panniers aren't really an option, because rear wheels on a road bike are kinda closer to the seat-tube and my feet on the pedals would constantly bump into them. Unless there is some weird set-up I do not know of yet.

I was looking at the medium size bag that Ortlieb offers, but it seems to be a bit overpriced. Any input on them or others?

If only there were a bike that was really good at that sort of thing...

OP, people will make fun of me for this but I believe that you can buy a collectible bike that will serve all your short term goals and then eventually help you to retire.

>Do you think it will make any impact on the Boeing/Airbus duopoly

It won't. China makes their own crap planes. Same for Russia.

>>894520
I won't be flying in one, that's for sure.

>>894520
It's hard to make any sort of assessment without official performance statistics and a track record for the manufacturer, but if China's aviation industry at large's track record is anything to go by it's probably not going to have much international success, just by reputation alone.
