    The "synthesis" between beauty and effectiveness

    She said yes!!! I'm the luckiest man in the world. Well, she's home now, now I just need to send her to Madrid, Spain. I still have plenty of vacation days left to fix that little problem. 😁 By the way, the fork is upside down, I think it has something to do with the Magura, I'll investigate.

    The "synthesis" between beauty and effectiveness

    Almost all of them were Dutch-style or mid- to low-range racing cars. But suddenly...there she was. Ohhhhhhh! Excuse me, mademoiselle, may I be your companion for the rest of your days?

    The "synthesis" between beauty and effectiveness

    Well, I'm spending my holidays in the south of France, in Collioure, and as usual, after a week I got bored and started looking at bikes and... I found an interesting person who had a Gazelle, Anquetil, Raleigh, etc., and even a very curious Mosser. 46 km away, you have to go see it!

    Jokes aside, this bike rides fantastic...how could I have gone 40 years without having a full suspension bike!!!

    The lamb lies down on Broadway? No, in the Madrid countryside 🤣 🤣 Although I'm not Peter Gabriel either.

    Information on frame kastle randonnee pro

    Wow, That's certainly very valuable information, thank you very much. I see the forks are spinners, and that would make finding them relatively easy. The bad thing is the color; it's very special. It's a very light pearl gray, very specific. I'd have to use a black one so it doesn't clash, as...

    Mine's on the waiting list; there are other bikes I need to finish first.I've been looking for the original fork, but I think it'll be mission impossible.On the other hand, I read the original Polish post, and I don't know where it said that they were pleased that a suspension fork had been...

    Information on frame kastle randonnee pro

    I think it's a very nice bike; that orange and white combination suits it very well. My frame came with a 27.2 silver Ritchey seatpost, and it may be the original, since in the image of Michael Schumacher with the Kastle model that corresponds to mine, the seatpost looks like the classic Ritchey...

    BoTM Bike of The Month August 2025 - Blue-collar Special - now taking entries

    I love Muddy Fox. I have fond memories of them, and I don't know why, I never had one. It's immaculate. I think you just found it in some forgotten store and bought it for BoTM! 🤣 Joking aside, it's beautiful, it looks brand new.

    The family grows: Marin Team Titanium '97

    3!!! Awesome I think I'm just a 1st-grade beginner Padawan. 🤣 🤣 I really consider myself lucky to have found a unit in good condition and in my size. I'm missing some details (decals, etc.), but there's no rush; it's slowly being finished.

    The family grows: Marin Team Titanium '97

    By the way, I pulled the red Michelin Wildgripper Hot tires in 2.1 out of the drawer for another project, but wow! I love how they look with the blue and yellow Spox tires. Maybe I'll put them on the Zaskar with the Betsy, they give a touch of the American flag (I guess I'd be really lucky to...

    The family grows: Marin Team Titanium '97

    I didn't want to go on vacation without adjusting the measurements and testing it. I'll make the final wheels later. So I put on some tires, pedals, and off I went. It has a very high bottom bracket. Wow, that feels weird, I'll have to get used to it. The saddle is actually a board, stiffer...

    Well, I've had some luck. Let's see, what's the percentage of chances of finding a red Ringle Moby Deux seatpost in 26.8? And of finding a Candy Red R-Seven? But I already had the R-Seven on a bike and didn't want to change it. I started looking for a new one, and a single-seat one appeared in...
