@Sam_w I’ve been using a Thule box that fits on my bike rack/hitch for the last couple of years. Works really really well, can fit 2 dogs, 3 adults and 2 kids in the car and I use a seasucker on the roof to carry a bike. In the winter I’ve been using the box as firewood storage.

@ectoplasmosis it’s a WTB/King collaboration from 89/90, basically a Chris King headset but with a the wtb grease guard feature. I’ve been looking for one for a few years to match a wtb wheelset.

Had a go getting this Sawyer built, big thanks to @sykodrama for shipping it down. Found some Mezcals on sale, was gonna get it painted but wanted to try it out first.

I’ve deleted this I wouldn’t want any repercussions for this forum.
@Hulsroy I’m already freaked out think I’ll keep low on this topic, talked to a programmer he’s gonna help with the search in a non google way. The world is a crazy place makes me sad

And thinking of getting this

Friday favorite

@e54
I’m pretty sure you took a photo of my 1fg last summer at the storage unit in Berlin? Mine had a headshok though. Been very tempted to go check that rigid one out, I had a small with a headshok and a medium rigid stolen in 2009 if I remember correctly I stuffed my info in a ziplock bag down the seat tube

Finally got off my ass and finished my Marin yesterday. Gotta sell it on as it’s too small for me and wanna build another singlespeed mtb

Saw this yesterday parked up, wondering if it’s a real Stratos, either way was beautiful

Awesome build

Wtf Banksy prices are crazy nowadays

Was a sunny day yesterday so finally installed some alloy scuttle vents and steel coolant tank, unfortunately noticed that the radiator is coming apart so that’s the next job, thinking of cutting the bumpers down and getting an older vertical grill next.

“Not nearly enough Range Rovers on the roads“

Your right fortunately I’m picking another one up today. And this one matches the Patek in Plymouth blue. Unfortunately gonna have to sell the Humvee though.

It’s the receipt for when the watch got serviced

Went to Holland yesterday to pick up a watch from subgmt.com for a mate. He’s got some beautiful watches and clocks there. Drove through a snowstorm to get there, was very tempted and shocked when he offered 18k cash for my Rolex.

I was planning on going Saturday here in Berlin, but yesterday they took a full page advert in most newspapers over here (yes I still buy newspapers I’m old), so figured lines would be crazy. This morning I got a call saying don’t bother they should be restocked in April

This lad does it by filling off the little metal stop bit inside the shifter it’s around 20mins into the video

Lovely meeting you @almac68 and those are better pics of that bike than I’ve ever taken! Hope you come back to Berlin for a visit, a lot of folk don’t realize how it’s really still like 2 cities (east and west)…..
Also Meine Bar is shite not worth a visit at all and no tourists allowed (;

It used to be so much worse on that corner, they’ve put in an asphalt path that he’s riding on, it used to be just concrete all the way up to the inside wall that would stay iced over for months (I must of fallen at least 10 times there on foot). If you time it right with the waves you can make it round

I live around the corner from their address, never heard of them though if you have any problems I could always pop round and talk to him.

You wouldn’t believe it lad, I was a bike messenger in Chicago from 90-00, always watched Seinfeld on a Thursday, he had a breitling and a Klein mtb! Got hit by a drunk, got a payout, bought a Klein and a breitling of a watch guy I was delivering packages for. The stores still there called Howard Frum on Wabash. Used to ride with the watch for luck, all over the world, had it worked on by some real different folk so a lot of parts were not perfect. A few years ago was talking to a mate that’s mad on watches, he took it and sent it to Breitling, came back beautiful and still lucky, I don’t ride with it anymore the same lad got me a Rolex last year so I ride with that bit fussy though and the jubilee bracelet gets dirty on a building site

My Friday fav. Bought it almost 30 years ago, used to be polished a few years ago breitling put new gold parts on it due to damage, but also satin finished the watch and bracelet really nicely.

Forgot how much fun coaster brakes can be, hopefully I’ll finish this next year

Beauty lad!!!
