Both of those are absolute class. The only thing I'm not sure about is the stem on the Velo Orange(?).

Thanks Man.

The orange bike is a 2016 Masi Randonneur w/ a custom fork. The stem is absolutely ridiculous looking, but believe me, it fucking rules! Riding in the drops 99% of the time and its comfortable as shit! Not to mention handles amazingly well. Its honestly one of my favorite bikes despite looking horrible.

New Mavic wheels are pretty damn nice! They have new up to date widths and they look pretty proper!

I don't think Steven did it, not sure who did. I agree that the victims brother seems sketchy. His initial statements in the news when she first went missing seemed off/oddly worded...

Better question is- is that slim ball defense attorney Len Kachinsky related to Brian Kachinsky. I
May be wrong, but they seem to have a resemblance along with sane last name and both in/from Wissconsin.

From what I've been told, Len Kachinsky is Brian Kachinsky Dad, fucking crazy!
The show really just made me realize how much more i hate the pigs!

I'm running 30/9 with halflink chain on my 2014 Barcode. Its not complete slammed all the way, but its very close. 2.4" tires are very close to rubbing CS/SS.

Built up this beast a few weeks back, it rules.

Also i have a bottle cage on the underside of the DT (hard to see) that holds a 40oz, or Nalgene bottle. It just straps on. Got it from the guys below..

From what I understand(which isn't much), a bike with low trail, will handle well at low speeds, but will be unstable at high speed. I believe a lot of this has to do with the type of bike and the riding you are doing, along with the tire size. A little off subject but most Randonneur bikes use low-trail. This is because the bike is loaded with a front bag. When the weight from the bag is put directly over the axle, or just behind it, it make the handling of the bike far better than a high trail or mid trail bike.

G's write up is spot on. The variable are so great, manufacturing tolerances, fork offset, tire size, stem length all play a factor.

I have no idea what a BMX bike will use for trail. I've never actually looked into it.
