  So cross at Altra for this shoddy quality. This pair of shoes is like 350km-young, in really good nick – aside from this catastrophic structural blowout, which causes blisters in addition to being shit.

  Submitted a warranty claim to the German seller (Bergfreunde), paid back in full a week later. Success!

  CROW Cyclery are lovely folks, all of them. They rent, as do quite a few shops, through the Listnride platform – here's their online shop: https://www.listnride.com/users/33944

  I had one, with Schwalbe G-Ones and Supernova dynamo lights, which ran beautifully through the rear rack with integrated fender which I immediately removed when I got it. Frame was on the stiff side, but I found it fun to get up little bumps in the road as it would be easy to give it a kick.

  FYI, I swapped it for a Midnight Special. Purely for looks and favouring steel, mind.

  I'm confident it would have made a lovely commuter indeed. You see a lot of them about here in Berlin – the home of practical and functional.

  Nice words – and a name check for the work of someone on here – about the first VPC: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-vpc-type-37hw

  “The Type 37HW feels like a highly evolved field watch crossed with something from the more simple side of Grand Seiko. Comfort is excellent, legibility is great, and anything you can touch or manipulate feels very high quality. It's dressy but not fussy or needlessly fancy.”

  (Of course, it includes a gratuitous reference to a vintage car)
