What would cost on these be rebuilt with similar lightweight spokes but silver instead of black?

I've got Pirellis on the RS6

If these had silver spokes I’d be all over them 😭

It’s now an expensive paperweight if you don’t have the password or proof of ownership for Genius Bar.

I learned this the hard way.

DM me!

Edit.
All gone.

I had some Q Acoustic Concept 20’s a while back, they were great. Only got rid as I wanted something less modern looking when I moved to different house.

I don’t really know TBH. It’s says UK legal on the Heinnie site. I don’t carry it, or any other type of knife around with me - It lives in my workshop, so haven’t put much thought into it.

I got a Boker Rockstub for work use a few weeks back. Would recommend. The slide lock mechanism is super handy for single handed opening/closing. It looks massive in the in hand photo on the website for some reason, but is quite small in reality.

Onlyfans X LFGSS: the colab no one was expecting!

He's been working with factor for years.
Factor are also Rapha's bike partner for RCC rental bikes.

I have a 2022 Vision Metron 55 SL wheelset that is surplus to my requirements. As new condition - they were used on a show bike, so have been fitted to a bike, and had a cassette/tyres/rotors fitted, but never been ridden. Been hanging in my garage for the last year.

Rims have had decals removed though. Have the OG double wheel bag for them somewhere also I think.

£600+ postage

Either that or a Director of Nepotism.

Fran Millar (sister of David Millar), recently became CEO at Rapha. She was one of the directors at CHPT3 until August.

CHPT3 now being dissolved seems to me like David Millar drawing a line under CHPT3 and removing any conflict of interest ahead of an upcoming senior role at Rapha.

I think that looks great. Refreshing to see a such a traditional brand normally driven by right wing coffin dodgers going in a completely different direction with their design language. Not keen on the pink, but it’s being released in Miami, so seems apt, and as colour is such a subjective thing I’m of the opinion that a colour can never really be right or wrong.

I liked their ‘re-launch’ marketing campaign too. I’m clearly not part of their new target audience, but its great to see a brand approaching it differently and ruffling feathers.
And as far as marketing is concerned it’s undeniably had a huge amount of coverage - I can’t think of a big marketing campaign that’s received more coverage in recent memory.

More power to them if you ask me. Anything that manages to cause so much uproar from grumpy middle aged white men around the world is a big win in my book.

I bought an iPad direct from Apple for my partner for her bday - got a £40 apple voucher as part of their Black Friday offer. Does anyone want it for £30?

I wouldn’t call it butchering knife as such, traditionally a honesuki would have been used for boning poultry as afar as i'm aware.

I mean the petty is very different to a Santoku or a bunka. Like I said, the bunka and Santoku are very similar. Only reason I got the bunka is I prefer the k-tip, but since I got it I’ve come to prefer the thinner blade also. My partner pretty much solely uses the petty, mostly due to size, but also cos she knows it won’t rust if she doesn’t dry it properly.

The gyuto was one of my first ‘decent’ knives, and I don’t use it that often these days as I find it too big for 90% of stuff, but I’m not just gonna throw it in the bin cos I’ve found other knives that suit my use better. I prefer smaller knives. The honesuki is the perfect mid ground between a petty and bunka for me - I’m really fond of smaller knives as I have small hands - a 150mm length blade is what I’ve found to be ideal for me for most things, and the k-tip is my ideal shape. The honesuki has an SLD steel blade which is a lot easier to care for than the high carbon steel santoku & bunka, so I don’t need to keep drying it when in use. I also really like the forge scale finish of the honesuki, as nothing sticks to it when in use, and it looks really nice. Honesuki is double bevelled.

But like I said - no one would ever need all of them. But there are lot of things in life people don’t need but have because they like them.

Magnet is great. Can’t fault it. Attached with two screws. Was like £15ish on Amazon. I sanded the finish back and oiled it to match the worktop.

I also assumed the days of cracked Adobe anything were long gone with the world of Creative Cloud.

I enjoy spending time in the kitchen & cooking. l like nice tools made well for a specific task.

The santoku & bunka are very similar for sure (bunka has a very thin blade compared to santoku though), but apart from those two, they are all good at separate specific tasks. The petty was easily the one used most often (as can be seen by the wear) but the recently aquired honesuki has now taken that spot.

You could 100% get by with just two of them (three if you eat bread), but nicely made kitchen utensils and knives are things that I get a lot of satisfaction from using daily, and they are nice things made by humans that last a long time if you treat them well, so are things I choose to spend money on.

Also: why not?

I haven’t spent any money on bikes for a very long time if that makes any difference.

Nice. Let us know what you think. The weighted handles look like a nice touch. I have been thinking of getting the bread knife from their range.

Yeah, magnetic strip is deffo best way to store knives IMO. I got a cheap bamboo one off amazon to match our worktop.

(Pls don’t tell me my knives are upside down. This is how we have them in our house!)

In other news i picked up a lovely 150mm Ohishi made Honesuke from Kitchen Provisions in Borough last weekend. I think its my new fave.
SLD tool steel with nice forge scale finish (kuruchi?). Quite easy to care for, the SLD steel seems to be a nice mid ground between high carbon steel and stainless. Right hand specific handle also which is really nice in the (right) hand.

I think all i want now is a nice Ko-Bunka and then i'll be content!

Yuzo are pretty decent for around that price. I have the petty & gyuto from their range that i bought for when i want to just do something quickly and not use my carbon steel knives and deal with drying/oiling etc
Very easy to care for with san mai stainless blades. Hammered finish is nice in the flesh. Handles are half decent too. i just wash mine and leave them in the rack. No dishwashers though, obvs.

Katto seem to be pretty much the same but with a slightly nicer weighted handle, and slightly more expensive - I’ve not tried them myself though.

Neither are super fancy by any means, but good workhorses that you won't need to be fussy with, and will last forever and hold an edge pretty well if you treat them well.

I've actually always wanted a black mid 2000's XJR with massive rims just for LOLS.
