The work commuter
Because my work commute is 6 miles of railroad gravel, dirt, and singletrack in the woods
It’s a 2001 castellano fango, aluminum frame with flexible chainstays
I run microshift adventX, Shimano MT200 brakes, lot of Funn bits, standard budget stuff.
Hope evo crankset and 34t hope chainring. Cheap Amazon Koozer XF2046 wheels, panaracer fire xc pro tires.
No name carbon bars because I wanted a piece of carbon fiber but I had $40, cane creek headset, selle italia flite saddle, and a Bolany air fork I put fox stickers on for the memes.
The cheap shit has held up far better than expected. I was expecting the fork to die and I was gonna have to buy a Judy gold or something modern and 26”, but I’ve been abusing the hell out of that fork with no issues yet.
