New Old school: Moné

von Alex Clauss

Wenn jemand mich jemand fragen würde, wer der Inbegriff für moderne Klunker ist, würde ich sofort Moné sagen!

Cjell Moné malt vielleicht keine Gemälde, aber doch sind seine Räder oder Kreationen Kunst!

Kunst ist sicherlich nicht immer einfach zu verstehen und manche Werke bleiben einem verschlossen, so sehr es man es auch versucht. Also nehmt es mir nicht übel, wenn jemand mit diesem Post und den Rädern wenig bis gar nichts anfangen kann.

Im Kern will Mister Moné transzendente, sprich herausragende, Räder bauen und ich würde behaupten, dass sie das auf jeden Fall tun!

Kostproben gefällig?

There's something about old bikes… Like real old ones. This bike is a study of that something. . Lots of details… So many in fact that this will spill into another post tomorrow. . Gotta hand it to @krazykarlbpr for his tireless work making these amazing finishes happen. #twotoneturbofadeforprez . @jengreenheadbadges for taking a lame napkin sketch and making it a big part of the something that is going on here… I wanted a headbadge to be a headbadge… And G dang it…Jen made it. . @jerry.jm.smith for making butts' dreams come true one amazing saddle at a time. #jerryleatherwhisperer . @real.chartreuse for rebuilding, lacing, and generally being enemy number one to tire tread everywhere… She's the coaster queen. Anyone skidding a #monē has her to thank. . @oddity_cycles for bending the beautiful bars. @profile_racing for the insane company they are… @paulcomponent for connecting the spokes to the fork and saddle to the frame… #paulforprezifthrturbofinishdoesntgetit2020 @philwoodandco for giving me an account ?? @velocityusa for these hawt hoops… Musa @kongabicycles for the yoke Did I even do anything here? . Justin wanted all the brazing… Did my best to deliver. Comment below with reasons why he should have gotten a yeti instead.

#naslbs2020 . *scrap lumber ☑ *hella nice wheels ☑ *polenta ☑ . My mom always is saying "I never understand anything you write on Instagram"… And I trust this post is having everyone else joining her… Listen up Sue, if you're still reading… @bicyclepubes created a wooden bike contest to A. Be funny, B. Raise money for @worldbicyclerelief , and C. Amuse himself while working from home. If you've been amused consider donating to the people in the B. line item. They are doing fine work providing kids in Colombia with bikes. . If @envecomposites is listening… They might want to add this bike to their super exclusive builders club build off or whatever… Which I would graciously accept… No hard feelings there. . The polenta is an even more obscure reference to a catagory added in the comments of pubes' original post. I made sure to include it because I figure if it's like single speeding, it should help my chances of at least placing in one catagory… And it's hella delicious… aaaaand it super calorically dense which is handy for all the long bike rides I have done on this bike. . Also, big shout out to @jerry.jm.smith for the saddle, @oddity_cycles for bending me these toight barzz and @paulcomponent for tying the build together.

Copper. One of the few metals directly usable from the earth. Copper brake lines aren't exactly naturally occurring, but kinda. . @xiec1131 didn't have too many requests… Handmade details, lot of em about rounded it out. Oh, and a klunker tube. . Bar spins weren't exactly on the list, but the dream has always been to pull off full hard line, so the bar-frame interface was the tricky part… Lucky @trickstuff_official makes a wirly-do just for this. The front brake (right hand for the Chinese, had to look that up) goes straight through the steerer.. ?.. Yep, easy as that. . All the coils allow adjustments to the levers and telescoping system… Plus, they look cool… Which is always a design constraint at monē. . Shout out to @krazykarlbpr for bringing that turbo-y-est #turbomidnight yet and @jerry.jm.smith for making the coolest saddles on the planet. All the @profile_racing parts are sooooo choice and @endlessbikeco was a sweet compliment to the sweet sweet buzz of impossibly high engagement… Beautiful hubs lace and plucked to perfection by the amazing @real.chartreuse
