Black metal album of the year I guess. Absolutely stunning.

Lovely!

That's lovely.

Downloaded Splitgate the other day, mad fun if you're into arena shooters. Has quite a few game modes too, doesn't get boring very easily. Still in beta but I haven't encountered a single bug so far and runs very smooth on my i5-8500 x 1070 Ti combo.

As much as I love its looks, unfortunately the C15 is not compatible with my arse. Yesterday I had a ride of ~35 km and I can barely sit lol - the hunt continues. Just ordered a Bontrager Verse Elite for very cheaps, no high hopes, but it might work.
Gearing: the 36T single chainring is really not enough for tailwind-boosted flats and descents, so the 2x conversion is definitely happening to the Marin, hopefully I can finish it over the weekend.

Sounds dreamy if you ask me. I'm also lusting over a good dt shifter bike.

My deepest condolences to the rider's family, it's truly heartbreaking.

I'm Hungarian and lethal accidents happens way too often. We have no cycling culture. Drivers are reckless. They are often way too exhausted to drive, careless, and absolutely unaware how easy it is to kill someone accidentally. And most of the time the quality of these roads (especially around Balaton) are horrendous.
Riding these roads at night is a fight for survival with slim chances, hell even in broad daylight I almost got killed a few times. Just avoid this country for these kind of events if you can...

Yep, I also used J&L before and it worked fine, can recommend. I'll probably just pull the trigger on this Litepro when the time comes, it looks perfectly shite for a beater build.

Any info on these Litepro NW chainrings? They look quite fragile, but I won't abuse the hell out of them, I'm not too strong and I don't intend on going above 35 km/h anyways. Are they likely to fail under normal use?

Cheers, it's been sold (un)fortunately. Was a tad too small anyways.

If all goes well I will have some more skinny wheel content sometime during the autumn though.

nobody needs 12 speed, i'd argue 11 speed too, they should just only give 8 speed

This, but unironically. Although I don't actually ride my bikes, I build them to have something to post on ig.

Bike looks a bit ridiculously proportioned, but I guess it's only the camera angle? Lovely scenery.

This is actually pretty rad, glws

I can only repeat myself on what I wrote in your classified thread, this is an awesome project, much potential. I have always lusted over these specific Karakorams, this colour scheme is so insanely rad.
I'd get those U-brake bosses converted to cantis if you're not afraid of spending some $$$ - or even better, maybe add a disc tab?

Ty is batshit crazy in the best possible way.

Each time you'll post this bike I'll comment how much I adore it. Very cool bag, lovely colours too.

2nd shot of Pfizer at noon, zero side effects so far, not even a sore arm. Hopefully stays this way.

Edit: well a good 20 hours later my arm is sore and I feel a bit weak, but nothing too serious.
Edit 2: approx. 26 hours after the shot I got tired and a bit feverish that lasted throughout the day, next day I was completely fine.

That crankset looks proper death! Otherwise rad, proper cafe racer vibes!

"just bolt that sucker right on" I guess
I'm gonna use it the standard way though as on the top pic.

I have also ordered this single speed adapter kit from AliExpress:

Looks really solid for 32 EUR including shipping+VAT, reviews are also good.
Will convert the Minerva into ss.

Also, raw material prices increased drastically since last year, nickel's still going up and it won't drop for many months to come. That means stainless will only become more expensive for the foreseeable future.

That's rad, must have been one hell of a ride!

That's insanely good.

They look rad n stuff for sure. :) Their actual usefulness still creates a ridiculous flame war among oldschool MTB riders. Some say they work, some say they are absolutely unnoticeable.
I mean I'd deffo use a set of anodized pink bling-bling boosters...

Cheers!
