He's still posting photos to his Flickr site as well. I think he, like a lot of us, is locked down, albeit in Ibiza. Probably has its plus/minus. ...

Tektro is OOS of certain OEM hydro brakes until July 2022. In week 41 of 2020 Giant was sold out of bikes through week 39 of 2021. One of our...

Even with the shipping wrinkle on the bottom corner, it's outstanding. I wouldn't expect less from Orla.

I want to eat at your house.

Glad to hear toots-- As far as just the tips for the rice: Letting rice soak beforehand and then letting it steam with the heat turned off (in a...

The stuff I see come out of Brian Chapman's workshop is amazing. I think in the end if you can find a high quality frame built for 650b,...

I like the way you think Richard; I choose the latter. I wanted to post some work today and then back to 2 of x000 joints. Also I believe I have...

spopepro Thank you thank you thank you. You have given me a leg up and I've got homework. Don't laugh, I need to take baby steps. Most...

I've got a pair of the 36c ones that I'll gladly sell you!

Good looking bike! Is that a Noah?

mosnoshu slushy but fun boots got wet inside toes cold fire good

Bought another honzo today. Worth noting its my fourth, OG blue one (2012), Carbon one stolen off my doorstep, Steel 2018 (rust one), and now alloy....

I'm guessing that between wildfires, hurricanes, and freak winter weather events, this might be a common situation over the next year.

Since it's almost a year later, I'm guessing you already found something. But, if not, in the Boston area, we use Amica. Home and auto, we've been...

Stefan quit the Salon and insta around the same time I believe; roughly a year ago. I'm not sure what happened here but it had something to do with a...

^^ This this.

It didnt make 55, but I did show skin anyway.

Not a regular on here myself but what happened to the Firefly guy on Ibiza that was always sharing his adventures?

Glorious spring-like day in the city...4 boros, 6 bridges, just over 2 hours. Had almost forgotten how spectacular fresh air is when on a...

Warm day, slow skis, but fun nonetheless. The dogs are spanked, second day in a row.

Where I work uses Travelers and recently more than doubled our rates. We're shopping around. I use USAA but before that I used State Farm and they...

yes! black cat it is.

Yesterday, Hodinkee launched a limited edition Heuer Carrera Dato in black, and even at $7250 they were sold out in a few minutes. Pandemic has...

Any updates on the online startups like Lemonade? I'm thinking of shopping our homeowners policy around myself, but I don't want to end up penny...

Bob Reynolds is fantastic!

Thank you both for the suggestions. I’m definitely getting the twine and cooking it slow next time. Also good call re: skimming. I do...

Roadbikes fit upright just fine in a Lexus GX - a truck that will probably be the most reliable vehicle you'll ever own (if you can stand the gas...

Tired Hands is shipping to Virginia now. They and Triple Crossing are getting my dollars lately.

RW's photo looked pretty clear to me. No haze.

I've had plenty of bikes that were 80% functional, and in the end, dealing with that 20% of under-performance wore me out on the bike. Having...

Two pairs of these in 32mm showed up yesterday. Next to a 28mm gravel king, these things feel super light in the hand. Will be a couple months...

Super helpful discussion from everyone- thanks. I think were I'm landing is no dynamo for this one (will stick wit my DT Swiss 1400's to start), but...

My experience with and attitude about Challenge tubs matches WMdeR. However, there's been enough positive discussion of the tubeless tubulars that...

Really impressed with the setup. They had it dialed. Found it, Vandolt >> https://www.vandoit.com/

I think it was VanGo

Tick is probably movement. Bearing shifting slightly in the BB cup. May mean the BB shell is slightly narrow. If it comes back, then you might...

Auk, Thanks for that. Most outstanding. Mike

That's a pretty comprehensive site, has been used by many folks to select and set up their 650B conversions. You might also want to check out the...

Add tools to the list: Last week I had to go to three different bike shops before I found one with a cassette lockring tool in stock, and none of...

For what it's worth I've found REI to have lots of stuff in stock. They ship to your home for free if you spend $50 or to one of their stores for...

Interesting article: http://aerossurance.com/safety-management/ndi-failures-b777-pw4077-fbo/ My, what a big compressor fan you have! Having one of...

^^ This.

mmmmmm Tommmmmasini!

Yeah, they remained to keep Greg happy but will be removed in good time - much easier to keep clean without too.

So good. Makes me want a classic bike again...

Glorious*. Well done. *Please remove the TWE graphics if you can, though! :cool:

Long gone and much missed. Ended up with a cracked ht. It was a bomber bike to ride.

Hogging some limelight but I took this shot today utilising my friend's charred timber wall. Arabesque 02 1800pix by Matthew Brennan, on Flickr

Still waiting for box rims but had to post this set up shot. I had a tick in the drivetrain, turned out to be the non drive side BB cup. Visually I...

I did end up with a Shimano order. Our local frame builder, wheel builder and master mechanic who has been riding Shimano since junior high school...

Now I follow you Louis.

I’ve been using the Oval R700 after losing a set of rotundos and find them pretty awesome. Have them on multiple bikes. At around $40AU they’re...

Pretty sure that’s the bike that tipped me over and made me order my old Cazzo - which is still in Sydney, by the way. I need to track down the guy I...

It's bad. Shimano, really bad. Everyone is producing at max capacity, but no one is really expanding facilities because we don't expect this to...

That’s the even more ridiculous thing about me hovering over the buy button: I know that even if I did put it on a bike I’d only revert back to my...

Ozymandias

Wow - are you guys all 20-somethings, so this is before your time?

Prince maybe? Though rain not ice.

Bob Reynolds; Guitar Band Outstanding live recording.

$700AUS for a saddle? That's like $12.95US. No wait. $555.45?! Look, we all love you here for your consumerist ways. You buy and sell stuff so we...

As mentioned above, DO NOT use a pressure cooker. Osso Buco takes time and love. I would highly recommend making this at least 24 hours in advance....

John Prine....I’ll have to check the Hendrix song list.

Watching the Banana plant go bananas being stuck indoors.

I think we need a "where are they now" section. Eight years ago, this bike looked perfect. Still does.

I'm currently doing my best not to buy the NOS carbon & Ti Flite Evolution (and the NOS white leather one) that's on eBay. I probably wouldn't even...

Didn't Jimi Hendrix have a song about that ^^^^ ?

Ya need a subscription/membership/tithing in order to post a classified ad. I think it's $20 and it pays for the bandwidth and beer for the vSalon...

What is the 'buy a subscription'?

I may not need a new binder bolt very often, but when I do, I get mine from the most interesting man in the world. Plus Twizzlers! ...
