Nor Easter bike check

Breaking down my Nor Easter build

[@ultraromance]

this bike is so you Martin --- love it

[@chuffa1130]

Thank you for sharing that is a beautiful build! Love the color of that frame Crusty!

[@crustbikes]

Thanks so much!

[@racer-vl5cj]

Saving up some money for a frame right now. Collecting more parts as well for a spring time build once the snow clears. Cool build you have there, keep up the great work.

I built my wife up a 52cm Nor’easter. She originally dug it for the teal color, but now it’s her go to non-MTB. She mostly runs 27.5x2.2” Rene Herse knobbies, but we also have a 700x44mm slick setup for rando cosplay, and it’s currently sitting on 27.5x2.85” front and 26x2.8” rear for sandy singletrack rambling. Such a sick bike, if she ever grows tired of it I’m definitely stealing it and putting a longer stem on it since I’m 5’9” and she’s 5’5”.

[@crustbikes]

I gotta try mine with 700c. You have all the wheel sets, I love it.

[@petercroce]

@@crustbikes hell yeah, would love to hear what you think. And yeah… I had to learn how to build my own wheels to afford it 😂 god bless disc brakes.

[@furleyforever]

I ride 52cm as well. That's an awesome color. Modern stems dont look quite right on vintage style frames. Quill stems give that classic touch.

Fly looking bike matt! You got the best looking 1s in the bizz the Romanceur, evasion, Ss lightning bolt ... list goes on

[@crustbikes]

Thank you.☺

[@criddler_9738]

So good! I’d love to get a couple of those BB bottles.

[@crustbikes]

Heaps good Garage will have them listed soon

[@fictionandthought]

those are some nice routers

"I don't know what that part is" "I belive it is ..." ... I have no idea, but I want to show it to you. Some do thier homework, some not. Takes the bike check to absurdity. 🙂

@@crustbikes Probably, but it doesn't come across that way.

[@BenCompton]

the front nitto rack (with 🎶triangulation 🎶) looks great. any idea when it’ll be available and what it’s called?

[@crustbikes]

No Idea on either of those questions I am afraid. Any suggestions on name?

[@donovanrice2671]

Some rack name ideas. 3 point rack- Trey, the triangulator, “nice rack”

[@doormat321]

Tres bon

[@eggplant9277]

i also think the S-racks look really cool but don't really use panniers it's cool that they're pretty easy to take off when you don't need them

[@crustbikes]

Yeah they are a great low rider rack for sure.

[@dinodildo666]

@@crustbikes any more specifics on the low riders? googlin s-rack yields no results

[@eggplant9277]

@@dinodildo666 look for them on blue lug

[@diedigitalemusikstundemith7114]

Wonder how low trail steering pairs with 460 mm chainstays. Is it still playful and nimble? Quite the opposite from a mountain bike geometry

[@crustbikes]

I like it.

[@glennpettersson9002]

At 0:46 it sounded like you were eating a packet of chips 😂😂

[@scottwistinghausen1888]

Has anyone’s tried to set this bike up 2x? I’m trying to figure what length of square taper bottom bracket I need or if I should use a mtb hollow tech bottom bracket

[@crustbikes]

Can't help with that question sorry.

[@scottwistinghausen1888]

@@crustbikes I figured it out, your secret is safe with me;)

[@tblakemusic]

IRD levers mate 🙂 (I only know that bc I’m in the market for some lol)

[@crustbikes]

Yeah right you are. The new IRD have less holes, I thought they were these ones. www.heapsgoodgarage.com.au/products/trp-rrl-sr-levers

[@Maximilianotrejo]

Guess I turned into that lunatic

[@crustbikes]

Was bound to happen

[@ericwetteland8542]

Get a pump on that pump peg. Love the bike. Go hit some jumps.

[@crustbikes]

Its bound to happen to you also 🤣
