Just being a bit mischievous James, it looked a similar colour and concept to the Stooge. Further musing though, I doubt many would choose the Pinnacle for a multi day backpacking epic where a Stooge is de-rigueur. Arguably the Pinnacle is better thought out what with it's fork mounts and double chainset :-bd

^ Ha, I know... Colour yes, but concept? I think a few Stooge owners might take mild offence / laugh that one off : )

I'd be happy taking either for a ride some places. My Chromium town bike had a hipster front rack and was great for doing the shopping on, could've taken it bikepacking tbh. Bikepacking lite anyway. Or TNR, would be great there. I think more bikepacking bikes could be like that Marin. It's all a bit Rivendell / Cali stoner vibes but that's no negative.

Moar Pinion action: the Viral Dérive. Looks lovely, if rather spendy...

Lovely marketing blurb for it :lol:
"Guy Debord wrote ‘Theory of the Dérive’ in 1956. It is described as “an unplanned journey through a landscape in which participants drop their everyday relations and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.” It was a movement born out of the inclination to push ones boundaries of everyday life and explore landscapes new and engaging. It was a desire to facilitate new interactions and encounters with people and places unknown, to grow, to learn, and to be aware of more than the mundane and repetitive life within our small comfort zones that we so often encapsulate."
I'm rarely a fan of a painted Ti frame but those are a war-crime.

And when did bosses for a top tube bag become a thing?

The world moves so fast :cry:

The quantity of mounting bosses is marketing thing now it seems

To me, if I needed enough stuff to use 33 mounting points I'd likely just fit a rack and panniers (which I have no issues with) so I don't quite get it.
Each to their own though :grin:

The current hipster trend is rackpacking to take things full circle.

I've realised that I think I might be dead. I've just looked back through this thread and virtually nothing looks interesting or seems appealing. Now, I'm not saying that's actually the case, hence my concern that I might indeed be dead.

Anyone else or just me?

I particularly like the pre-rusted chain and sprockets to take away the maintenance woes.

Isn't it a Mukluk? Beargrease was carbon?

Edit, just zoomed in and it's a bearclaw, learnt something today :grin:

That's by no means the first drop-barred fatbike I've seen (and I mean JPs). I'm thinking at least 5 years ago, probably 6.

You're getting a puppy. WGAF about this tosh :wink:

Comes in waves / phases for me. Very little (bikewise) peaks my interest nowadays. Then again I've spent an inordinate amount of time buying a wet&dry vac and a wifi security camera system recently :???: :???:

Maybe not this kind of odd, but I do like how innovation/marketing finds a way to do something new even with the road bike format

I saw at least one rider in the grand tours this summer that had an out front GPS mount and a large GPS unit that was effectively using it as an aero bar by gripping the end of the unit. The commentator wondered out loud if the UCI would crack down on that or not.
