Really reminded me of an Airfix kit I made when I was younger for some reason:

Anyone here ever change a freehub on these wheels to take a modern cassette? I've got a set of Zondas with the 8-speed freehub body that they came with and just assumed that was the most gears I'd get on it.
Actually looking closer at the pic I'm not even sure if that is a larger cassette, I just assumed because of the rear mech and cranks.

Similar theme, this fueled me around The Netherlands

When I was shopping around for an espresso machine, the Silvia seemed like the best choice before you jump up to the £1000 range for a HX machine like the Rocket Appartamento.
Most machines between have extra things I didn't want like a built in grinder or extra electronic gimmicks. I like that the silvia has solid feeling switches rather than little clicky buttons like some others have. It feels like a workhorse: minimal things to break, easily servicable and makes a good coffee when you get used to temp surfing it. Likewise the rocky grinder is a tank, just a lump of metal with a 'give me coffee' button on it.
My friend bought an appartamento at the same time as I bought my Silvia and it's definitely a big step up but then it costs over twice as much.

Well it is in Detroit. You can pick up a giant 4-bedroom house for about $30k if you don't mind the general social decay and endless miles of weird grid suburbs.

heh I remember the first time I used the infinite money cheat in The Sims too.

pretty sure those little round red signs are instructions. you're supposed to bunny hop the obstacles... cars, fences, postboxes...

Posting to stop myself bidding because I don't really need this.Badly listed Champion Mondiale AA.653. Looks like it'll go cheap. Not sure if it's a respray and the paint is a bit knackered and BB in place might mean it's stuck. From the few bad pictures it looks like a legit AA.653 though: wrapover seatstays, seat clamp, big oval reinforcements around the internal brake routing and what looks like a cinelli BB shell.

A reserve makes it much less likely to sell in my experience. When I sell I either do 99p start, or make the start bid the lowest amount I'd be willing to accept. A lower starting price will get a lot more people watching which means more phone notifications going out 15 mins before it ends. I usually make auctions end late evening Sundays although I've not really experimented to find the best time.

90 euro postage put me off. Probably would have paid more attention to the auction otherwise.

So I actually took the time to look at what was happening and it was the lower limit screw stopping the mech from travelling over far enough. 1/8th of a turn and it jumps into the biggest cog fine now.
Think that's just a camera lens effect making it look bent^ Sighting it with a plumb it's vertical and parallel to the cassette cogs.
-
Can't get my rear mech to shift into the largest cog. The barrel adjuster is unscrewed all the way out, bottom jockey wheel is about 2mm away from the spokes but it looks like the upper jockey wheel doesn't move across far enough. I can force it across by hand by pushing the mech and it'll stay on the right cog but it won't shift there using the shifter.What's wrong: bent mech hangar, dodgy rear mech or something else I'm missing? groupset is a mix of 8-speed veloce/mirage with a 9-speed rear mech fwiw.

SimWorks stuff is made by Nitto and comes in black, Freshtripe sells them in the UK. Bit of a hipster tax on them though.

Can I join the same frame different brand club? Mine's the same size as yours, looks like i have the same forks too. Can vouch for them being great frames, nice and stiff with that oversized tubing. Good price too, I paid about the same for mine a couple years back. -
Proper brain freeze riding into a headwind on the way home tonight. Ride in this morning was fun though: Tailwind blizzard over a mix of ice-rink side roads, clear-ish main roads and crisp fresh snow through a park. We're due another 10cm tomorrow morning though so we'll see how long it stays enjoyable.

This was yesterday, he was diving around in it for hours, first proper snowfall he's seen. He's much less impressed today now that there's twice as much of it. -
We had a decent amount this morning in Essex but it's been clear skies for most of the day. My cat's been playing out in it for hours, first time he's seen snow deep enough to jump about in: https://photos.app.goo.gl/o2SFd8ru2SEvjyJR2
