This is a very funny vehicle!

Thanks. Of course those hands are too long.
Rolex is not something you see in my social circles. Unless its buyers at the galleries I worked at as a technician. So the Tudor makes sense (and there is also a bit of a difference in price).
Yes, 116000 is perfection for me. But I want more explorer and less dress watch.

I don't really do numbers because they are depressingly low and Strava annoys me.
So I can relate to 45.

That all terrain bike thing has an Alert, ~73 miles window.
Does that mean "the World’s Most Challenging ATB Route ever imagined" is under 120kms?
I can imagine routes of that length you can't finish under 18 hours even if you can fish with your bare hands, but thats because you have to walk all of it, because you should have brought a MTB.

Probably good marketing, and the Romanceur guy has to pay his mortgage I guess.

Thanks!
Yes, wasn't expecting such a shortage.
But maybe it's because I definitely don't fit in an air-conditioned champagne popping jewellers store on Kudamm?

I am quite tempted by the blue, seems quite understated.
But when I look at the 36 I always fear that the minute hand is just to long.
Whats your opinion on that?
They are, at least for me, at a price point where I expect perfection.
There is a blue one for sale second hand, but it's far away.

If I had ever really worked in the field after my fashion design degree, I would try to convince girlfriend that we need to move to southern England.

All of them. Also thought it was because I asked for the silver, but when I was black might be nice too she said thats still unlikely this year.
Have to check Bucherer in Store, but the chat persons answer sounded like I wanted to buy a steel submariner.

How nice is the blue dial black bay 36?

I was close to one of the big watch stores in Berlin (Wempe), and as I have been looking at black bay 36 Tudors a lot, thought I would ask if they have one.
So, there is a waiting list for those in 36 as well. Same at Bucherer.
As in maybe next year.

That a yes or a no?
Can't watch now, also don't want to because I always get jealous as Washington looks like it has very nice riding.

Is the are ebikes shit discussion what has been missing on this thread all this time?

I just realized I basically sanded off the black anodization from my cranks.

That's the reason black cranks are stupid.
On my suginos it was also gone after one ride on wet gravel like this.

Looks a lot like a bakfiets model, so while it's probably not shit it will not be the most agile out there.

Didn't realise that you have parking zones and areas that are geo fenced for the things.
Here in Berlin you can drop them wherever and of course ride them through parks.
Which results in them being parked in the way all the time.
And of course they mainly get ridden on the sidewalk.
All in all not a pleasant addition to our streets, but as always cars and the incredible amount of space they take up (especially here, where parking rules are just advisory but not enforced) are the source for most of the problems.

So €2,495 for frame alone and ca 4500 with shock forks dropper and headset is a bit more.
Was looking at them before, they look very nice, but no way could I ever justify that, unless I move to a hilly part of Europe and sell all the other bikes.

Those are so nice but also a bit pricey, aren't they?

Mainly looking for inspiration, I doubt a trip to from Berlin toLondon for our rings would make sense. Maybe for a watch...
But then who knows, it's been too long!

Would have to do test rides, also not a lot of speed cargo around.
Pretty sure the R&M ones, for example, are stable at speed.
And there is the problem that, in Germany at least, you're not allowed to use cycle lanes with a 45kph electric assist bike.

Interesting point. My short bakfiets would probably be unrideable at 25kph with more than a banana and me on board.
But if I ever have an excuse I will buy a 45km/h cargo.

Very nice ring, and congratulations!

Would you share the maker?
Always interested in people that make fun jewellery (ok, my other half is, and we maybe should get rings too...).

Ah, Black Mountain Cycles. Good choice, great bike, maybe even better color!

That looks very nice.
And I like the bike, care to show a picture?

Looking at the young men here in Berlin, probably yes.

So can someone post a video of bearded men smashing the gravel?
Quite off topic this touring chat.

More like a catalogue bike. Makes sense.
@PhilDAS yeah, makes a big difference if you have the fancy lightweight stuff.
And it looks like it might be a glamping setup, including wine glasses, candles and maybe even a chair.

Must be 80 liters plus just in panniers.
But if you go so remote you have to carry that much food you'd maybe want a less roadie bike?
