  Some sort of homemade e-bike with some sort of wheelie bar like a drag car spotted the other day at the climbing wall.

  Also from Andermatt is the Gottard Pass - old Tremola Road is an absolute stunner & cobbled most of the way! Probably best enjoyed towards Andermatt though (cobbled descent less fun).

  I'm 186cm tall & weigh 66kg with an 81cm waist, was riding medium three season pocket bibs today. A little short on the leg (fine with long winter socks) but suitable dimensions elsewhere else. I ride medium for the short leg bibs too. Hope that helps!

  Cheers. First two are 40mm f/2.8, then others 18-55mm f/2.8-4. Took both Fujifilm lenses with me, one wrapped in a freezer bag in my jersey pocket! Pancake 40mm is easier to ride with but the range of the zoom is great.

  Do it, shallow section rims on bikes with oversized tubes look fab. Training wheel vibes.

  Got myself a smaller DSLR - traded in my Pentax K-3 for a Fujifilm X-E4 - which is much more portable. Enjoying taking it on rides.

  My Croix de Fer was a 56 for this same reason. Managed to just about make it fit when I'd normally ride a 58 too.

  I'm pretty sure this frame isn't custom geo.

  Tidy build. I've ran 28mm on my 2013 Mash Bolt (not sure what version that is), did rub on the fork crown a little after a while, but room to spare on the rear. I generally stick to 25mm tyres on it these days.
