>>1334291i like that you and your friend both have side bells to alert anyone the gang is coming through
bike culture here is 90% mtb related and if you tell someone you "like to cycle" they'll assume you go on the dirt with full suspension bikes. most people never saw a drop bar really; still, like in most of the world the mtbers are chill tho usually fat and bearded.
the real problem lies with the road crowd, or as they call here, "speed" (no one call road bikes road bikes for some reason); they're usually very rich dudes with very expensive bikes they ride on weekends, road bike groups are very closed and don't usually admit people on "pleb" road bikes (i.e any Caloi 10). Still, it is nothing even close to the road bike culture more developed countries have and has hardly any sort of personality.
As for riding; i like it. Not perfect but it serves me right, all roads have shoulders and there's enough old dudes biking downtown slowly to make drivers cautious. That said, i live in the most developed part of the most developed state in the country (São Paulo state, Campinas metropolitan area).
The terrain really screw me tho, hills everywhere anywhere
>>1334292thanks, i will try to stop for water about 3 times
>>1334416i love your bike setup and i wish to do something alike soon

>>1334593>Like the gold and green, but the paint scheme is really weird.thanks, the green paint is its original from the 70's, the gold sessions are vinyl i wrapped around the worn out parts of the paint, the black is tape which i thought would look cool as a three-color scheme. Thinking about changing it.
Nice bikes, do you think about putting some barends on any of them? i find it hard to ride flatbars without them. Also, what about that tilt on the Panasonic saddle?
>>1334737i really appreciate your posts and the loads of confy photos you take during rides, also the bar tape is neat.
