damsko's lil projects

Dusted off some stuff in the shed. This was fun to ride into town on the sunny Saturday. Vanmoofs got nothing on me.

Nice one!

Does that rear wheel have some bites out of the rim edge?

Nice, that's wild!

Thanks y'all. Did I say it's a lotta fun to ride? Can't emphasize that enough.

The rear wheel has it's patina, not bites, but wear in the paint/brake surface, probably due to using the wrong pads. Not by me, I only dare to use the front brake. The trispoke makes a cool swooshing noise at loewr speeds. Only thing not wanting a matching front is scepticism of stoppage power.

Dug out this little cutie, which I'll be doing a parts bin build for a friend. Not sure it's actual 653, cause the little frame is quite heavy. Also not sure why Sirocco (a southern Dutch brand) would put on the wrong decals ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

Got this here little crack pipe to make my pre ride pumping a bit more easy. My valves are too short for the usual pump heads so the past year I was using a hand pump before every(!) ride (inners are latex). And it fits my disc and trispokes as well, so good excuse to fly one in from Nihon.

First time out training with my commuter's raceblades. Avoided the rain, but the roads are wet as can be and topped with a fudge of mud and leafs. Have to say, these blades work a charm, value per € is high with these. 👌 Wish my mate had them as well, he was in my wheel without a drop of spray in his face, where I still feel the dirt crunch in my mouth.
