Oh.

I guess this got thrown out the window, huh? "I guess I want it to look nice enough to satisfy my inner bike nerd"

I quite like that, it's got a certain army motorcycle look about it

I also remembered about this but it is not available in Craw size

Swap the bars for drops and it is a budget monster cross machine

Wow that's a bike that makes me want to give up cycling.

wtf, this from the guy who's always bitching about the paucity of "proper xl" frames ;)

I think I might have found a winner (presuming NSBS can one).

Discs, fenders, no front derailleur, cheap, pretty.

$1000+ is still pretty expensive for something you are going to leave locked up and unattended at times…
Not sure id really want Tektro mech discs either.

True enough. But we can all admit that Strong is a goofy-looking bike. Why is it built with 26" wheels? :shhh:

Bonus points for use of the word paucity.

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

I really like the look of that Fairdale. Old_School_Noob, site says Mighty deals with Ryder the distributor. Do you have them in or would it be an order thing?
