>>1479867weird bike. aside from the mismatched skewers (rear one looks like one of those cheap shit ones they throw into indoor trainer kits), tires, and bottle cages, it's like he put a long stem on there and instead of going back to the shorter one that came with the bike, he slammed the seat way forward and rotated the bars up, and it looks like he even has the reach on the levers set differently for right vs. left.makes me think the owner is a fuckwit, and carbon and fuckwittery don't really go together well.
>>1479870he could get this new

>>1480335you wouldn't save money cobbling it together. a specialized fuse comp has everything you want but it's $1700. idk if you can get all of that for less. I think the dropper post requirement is the problem as those prolly don't start showing up until $1500 or so
