chose a bunch of parts for this and my buddy andrew helped me put it all together :) loving this frame- very classic look but lightweight with lots of mount points & modern parts put 111 miles on it last week and it feels good

In 2021 I bought a shitty 80s road bike for about $300 from this guy named Richard who lives in Ditmas Parkā€” I wrote about him here. This purchase sparked a love for biking that has become a borderline obsession ever since, and after validating that this hobby wouldnā€™t be short lived, I finally upgraded my bike last spring. There are a dizzying amount of factors when it comes to selecting a bike, but at some point I caught the bikepacking bug from this lovely Instagram page @genosac. Their account is just a couple of people in Minneapolis who go on these weekend camping trips while riding through national forests, and they upload perfectly soundtracked edits that just radiate good times. Itā€™s infectious. I spend 95% of my time in New York City so Iā€™m not sure how much bikepacking Iā€™ll actually end up doing, but I ended up getting a ā€œgravel bikeā€ / ā€œall terrain bikeā€ from a smaller East Coast brand called Crust. The exact model is a lighter steel frame called the Lightning Bolt and a friend (@photo.realism) helped me pick out components + put it all together. I have it pretty decked out, but thatā€™s nerd stuff that doesnā€™t belong here. I love it, itā€™s my baby, and Iā€™ve already put close to 500 miles on it since May. Iā€™m constantly looking forward to my next ride whether itā€™s a 20 mile rip before work, a 10 minute errand ride, or an all-day beach adventure with friends. It gets me outside, keeps me in shape, gets me with friends, and shows me parts of the city that I probably would have never went on foot. My loud nā€™ proud love of cycling has led to many a friend catching the bug as well, so let me know if you need any help or have questions. Iā€™d love to pay it forward.

tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfectā€™s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI a pure labor of love that Iā€™ve been quietly plotting for two years and itā€™s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account so thank you for coming along for this weird ride šŸ«¶ let's see where it goes
