This thread is #tukt

Winston needs more of these. And an IG account. You should make the social media dream come true for him.
(not joking)

How does your 60mm become 120mm on a full frame camera? Do you have a sigma art lens designed for medium format?

*edit, realised that by M4/3 you are refering to micro 4/3 and not 2 models of Leica (I now remember you have the M6) carry on.

because Amey is Art

Please don't ever invade the photography thread with your gear wankery. Just take a picture. It's a pic of a bicycle, you're not ansel fucking adams.

april fools?

It aches me that he doesn't and I can't :(
He also doesn't use whatsapp.

He probably gets enough unavoidable bike dork chat in person. Completely understandable he wouldn't wish to open up any more avenues by which to be pestered...

By the way it was snowing and the way the flakes were coming down, I figured the storm was coming from the north so I reckoned that the conditions would be much worse on the descent. Because of this, I didn’t fly over the top but held back to save some energy for the descent.

When Breukink caught me at the top, at first, I thought I would follow him on the descent but he was going so slowly when the descent started that I figured I should go in front and make my own mistakes. I learned later that Breukink never put on a jacket. Instead, his team manager, Peter Post followed him down the descent and kept him alert by yelling and cursing at him.

I only had one gear for the descent, all the others had iced up and I kept thinking that I must keep pedaling to keep that one gear free of ice. The road at the top of the descent was gravel. It was better for descending than asphalt as it did not ice up. I tested it a couple of times to see if it was solid and it was. The spectators on the descent did not know if the race had been cancelled so they were wandering all over the road. On one turn, I almost hit a Carerra team mechanic holding a spare pair of wheels and walking down the middle of the road. I remember he was wearing this beautiful gore-tex full body suit and I really wanted to have it on me!

As I descended, I got colder and colder. I tried to shut out the cold and concentrate on the road ahead. It was asphalt now, but luckily it was not icy. I tried not to break too hard. When I used the brakes, first I had to break the ice from the rims, then scrape the water off before I got any stopping power.

I was concerned about hypothermia and just how much colder I could get before I was no longer able to pedal the bike. My arms were basically locked up from the start of the descent, I just tried to keep pedaling to keep my legs moving. At one point, I looked down at my legs and through a layer of ice and lanolin grease, I could see that they were bright red. After that, I didn’t look at my legs again.

About 10km into the descent, Mike Neel in the team car caught up with me. There wasn’t much he could do, the snow had turned to a cold rain, all I cared about was getting down to a place which was warm and I could stop.

At about 6km to go, Breukink caught me, but I was totally blocked and could not respond. Breukink had no rain jacket on, just a jersey, so he could descend faster on the long straight drop into Bormio. There was no bloody way I was going to take my jacket off. – Andy Hampsten

...because Ludwig is Post Art

He does have a point though .. i have bought new pair if brakes now! Time to build bike around that. There will be another thread of course.

Would pay to see Hampsten read by Ludwig live.

I'd pay to listen to and see Ludwig read by Hampsten and to see his utter confusion.

I just skipped from page 10 to 40. What did I miss?

Amey's descent into madness.
