My daughter's is a mutt with enough heeler to look kind of like a heeler, too.

You want single leg workouts? Lunges, with dumbbells. Single Leg Split Squat, with dumbbells. Step Ups, with dumbbells. I mention these...

Wout or Pidcock? Don't know why the sound isn't working but really not necessary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me9bDGCXjWE

I’ve got a friend like that. Excellent rider and terrific sportsman. He’s in his mid-60s, has done multiple Ironman in the U.S. and Africa. He’s...

Nope. I used to work on my pals (redacted to protect somethingoranother) xxx bikes. They were always decked out with Campy goodness. He is a...

Time to pay the piper: ...

That was a sealed cartridge bearing, the upper. Lower was as bad if not worse. The races were a mess. Sometimes the idea that parts are permanently...

Check the seat tube to bottom bracket adhesion. Then check it again.

Western NC. Nantahala national forest.

We got 8 or 9 seasons of Project Runway and my kids are both already doing a runway strut. That's the kind of thing that doesn't occur to you until...

I'd go thru Monty Python first, then Fawlty Towers. Continue with Rumpole of the Bailey, accompanied by a glass of Chateau Thames Embankment. ...

New bike, local trails Life is pretty good.

The OP's photo makes me see the benefit of sealed cartridge bearing headsets.

While discussing handlebars over in another thread, I realized I had not shown the full bike here. A Black Market Edit1 dirt jumper.

Amstel Gold men's race is too close to call. Likely Wout but Pidcock was right on the line.

I didn't take pictures, but when I still lived in NE Texas in an LBS-free area, a rider brought me his bike complaining of difficult shifting and...

Totally understand and the good news is you don't need to. I just liked the hand-built aspect; in particular the brazing. Here are several others...

Wow.....where is that?

Those late 80s and early 90s TVTs have always intrigued me. I still ride my Look 585s a ton and it’s basically a descendant of this design. Can’t...

Makes sense just to get bikes similar. I don't plan on spending $180 on bars though. I'll do some measuring and see how much 40mm bars will help....

I stopped working on other people's bikes due to covid. This thread is triggering. I've seen that bearing before. I may never start up again.

.............. Ok, that one owes you nothing............

Leisurely ride yesterday...a bit wet but perfect knicker weather 2021-04-18_07-19-20 by W L, on Flickr

Wow just wow. *I edited your title, forgive me. This thread could be good if expanded to include all sorts of ruination. Working on other...

I made an offer on a local Vitus 979 today - clean and straight, but a bit of TLC could make it a beauty. I’m also about to pull the trigger on a...

I'm running a 75mm bar on my DJ. Oddmonē Bar

40mm are the tallest “normal” bars. Spank makes some 50mm bars- i like those on my bikes that need to be fun and go uphill, because 2” is my...

I built up an EP for my boss several years ago - it was my favorite bike to ride. I've had an EP in 56 trad geometry but it never was quite as...

Oh yea, the EP, I like black components but agree that its all good. i dont like busy graphics on stems and such, but nothing looks that out of line....

He also had a very nice white painted to match stem with a colnago clover . that guy had good taste. hope he pops back in here. also wish i could...

I've seen it with black bars + black tape - too much black............. Next step = white bars + black tape! Green tape or red tape matched to...

Where's that photo of Stefan Rohner's white EP all covered with mud?

Remembered my Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared" this time, for you Mando fan's "This is the Way" going to try a 20 hour rise tonight. Yumm.

Plain black stem, more traditional black bars, black bar tape, and Bob's your Uncle.

Black, green or red tape and a black seatpost and she’ll be right :cool: (personally I’d go with a plain black stem too, but that’s still better...

UPDATE A quick switcheroo this morning with parts I have in my spares boxes. I like this 'look' considerably better than the first iteration. ...

My RAD measurement is very similar between my MTB and DJ and BMX.
