PMed you

When choosing between German and Spanish in the 6th grade my father told me to go for German as I'd get more use out of it. I've been to Germany twice and everyone spoke English, I've travelled extensively through latin America where nobody speaks English and all I know is German (and Swedish but didn't have much success with that, either) Excellent advice, dad.

Ok

he chided me for doubling warfarin during the trip, saying that was 'extremely dangerous'

Do you mean you did this just during flight or during the entire stay?

^ surely you jest, madame? Please?

New bars & tape. Such comfy, much yellow.

Get any fork with reasonable rake, around 45 mm. I haven't ridden a columbus tusk but I'm sure it's fine.

@FredyCro that's really nice!

@nev

what headset spacers

Just a (probably stupid) thought- there's 32 mm ID copper pipes for plumbing. Could make your own?

Awesome! Should be in porn instead :)

out of sight.

On a hipster bike? Only because it's on display somewhere else. Whoever owns that thing is sporting a vintage leather belt full of vintage wood carving tools.

most hipster bike I've ever seen.

Right down to the unused axe.

Aren't they the opposite these days? :)

Forks look ok I think and the guards are awesome.

landed on the toptube
identified an issue
swap the fork
rip the hub out
that'll go on when it comes back

Nice! But yeah, move the fd down. Should be 3mm-ish above outer ring.

How bad could it be? Build it up and ride it!

Nothing useful to say but I want post #1000!

One winter bike to rule them all. Except no discs. But British winter is different from Swedish, obvs. Jealous!

Whaddayamean not as speshall? Looks rad. Bargain at £20.

Nice stem, what is it?

A steel itm something. I vote carbon forks, silver stem too!

Badger has been out on a 30 mile hilly ride. Being french and handsome, he tried chatting up some rural Swedish females (cows and horses mainly) but had no luck due to lack of bartape and the ugly uncomfortable bars themselves. Deda piegas inbound and I'll give him a new chance after they're on. Otherwise no issues with handling, hard braking or anything really (subject has been debated here). We'll see how long that lasts. Anyway, reasonably pleased with the preliminary outcome - goal was to have a training bike for the wet months before the actual wet months set in and I managed it.

Do it!

Love this thread! I don't think your rim is fucked just by going out of true 8 mm but maybe check spoke tension generally?

What crankset is that?

Says SRAM rival on it.

spot on for a winter roadie

Yup!

Well, I was curious to see it for myself having followed the debacle in thross's thread. I got it for not much money and had planned to see a man about some welding. But now that it doesn't seem fucked after all I'll ride it for a bit and see what's what.

Edit: sorry, in reply to @mjw1988

Sorry @thross but it doesn't seem crashed. HTA is steep but I can't find any signs of deformation. Will throw some cheap parts at it and use it for winter training to begin with. Sorry for the crap picture.
