okay then

thanks!

On the topic of magazines, I run this Dutch focused magazine: https://www.instagram.com/essay_mag/

But it should be available for purchase across the pond soon as well! Sorry for the blatant #advertisement

wow, insane scenery! doesn't look easy on camera tbh

Still not a lot of updates. Brother Mehteh frame has not arrived but I think it won't take long. Hopefully.

Most of my energy lately has gone into this project: https://www.instagram.com/essay_mag/
Although not very much bike related I still sprinkle two wheels into it here and there.

And we finished my girlfriend's vagabond! need to make better photos but this one is from a solo ride she did this week. She's super happy with the thing so now I can't wait for better knees and a bike to build up and ride!

Besides cycling my hobby is looking at building sites and tracking process so this thread really ticks a lot of boxes!

Instead of painting it in a certain colour you could put a quote on the bike. Not like live laugh love style, but sort of like the surly's already have something on the inside of the stays or something. Was thinking a quote/saying from one of his video's would be cool!

Actually, sold the frame separately and almost all the components as well. Had no time for it, got a pretty good profit too

I thought so but still my point is that frontside slashes are the best

Yes! Learn a frontside grind/slash/kick turn next. They are so nice when you get a consistent hit on the coping

not giving up yet! plus, I already sold the seatpost and saddle, and will throw the shifters, front derailleur, bars and crank on marktplaats later this week. hopefully that will make it break even.

still think it's weir how the frame looks perfect on the outside, almost no marks or anything, and then the inside seems to be crusty as hell. the thing has probably seen a good cross race or two, but someone forgot their greasing...

yep! I think drilling it out, tapping new thread in old bolt and then removing might be the best shot. So much work tho

can't make everyone like it!

Concorde update: stem is stuck and has already cost me three years of my life trying to get it loose. And the derailleur bolt that goes into the frame has been stripped by previous owner. What a joy.

forgot to mention there is quite some play on the bb, both wheels and headset. but nothing we can't do

alright then, pick up or postage?

The other project is the big one. I found myself not riding my roadbike unless I wanted to join friends/group rides. The thing was too speedy and a bit too small as well. So with the girlfriend buying her dreamy Genesis Vagabond, I figured I needed some do it all thing as well.

Alas, I ordered a Brother Cycles Mehteh from Suicyclestore in Hamburg. They said it should arrive somewhere in october, we'll see.
I've started collecting parts slowly. I'm not going to do anything superfancy to it. Hydro discs are too much dollar for me, so I'm picking up BB7's tomorrow. Rest of the parts I have are the 105 group from the road bike and cheap marketplace finds.

Somehow, in between helping my girlfriend put together her Genesis Vagabond and helping her brother build a carbon road machine, I've found myself taking on two projects. One big one, and a smaller one, both yellow-ish.

First on is the Concorde cx I asked about in the CP chat thread. Not sure what to do with it. First I have to figure out if it is my size, so I know if I want to keep it or not. And then, keep it campy? Or try to sell the chorus/veloce groupset and throw a modern group on it? throw the parts from the specialized sequoia on it? That thing was too big for me, and a bad riding position probably destroyed my knees over the summer.

The follow up! Came out a bit cheaper than expected, now what to do with it??

Ooooh yes that is nice.

Wow, massive endorsement. Alright then!

I have a functional bike so functionalism wasn't on the list, luckily

@Lolo that is true, might be worth the shot then

I'm afraid this is too british for me

the ultimate dad bike, so good

I can get this for 85eu, possibly a bit less. yes or no? worth it?
