Yeah brass will be fine. It will discolour but should be okay

@DavidW things are different in Serbia

@NickAlexeev it will be fine, I’ve never seen any corrosion on valves and they see salt and water all winter long

I wonder if anyone's made a bike out of brass

now I’m thinking about other exotic materials one could use

hemp rope instead of a downtube

new handlebar has arrived, time to spend 3h in the basement to install it -.-

looks and feels quite awesome, 250€ carbon handlebar, a Pro Vibe Aero Ultralight

I hate bicycles

scary how effective sand paper is on carbon composite
