Victorinox for a lifetime pocket tool (with a wine opener!)
Or an Opinel n°8 ? At this price you can even look for Damascus knife. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=damascus+pocket+knife&_sacat=0

Hello,
I'm looking for a shutter precision or high end Shimano dynamo hub. 32 holes, Quick release only. It could be red, blue, or shiny silver but no other color. Please, no black hub. (I feel racist, but this is the setup I need!). 3W 6V. Could be center lock but not 6 bolt disc.

And if you have silver 32h rims, something like kinlin xm 250 or equivalent... Just hit my DM too !
I live in Paris but would pay P&P. Thanks ! :)

Yes, my bad. What would be your price ? I'm ok for P&P

I just discovered your thread this evening and spent a nice time reading it. Thanks, you're fun and talented - would love to ride with you. (from a guy who build a steel fixed Audax frame with supernova internal routing ;) ...)

Thanks ! Really helpful, I will buy these.

About your question @alialias, here is a pic. The bottom bracket dynamo works really well (powerful enough to handle a B&M IQ:XS 70 lux and a B&M tailight with plenty of parking light). You can even activate it by pushing the lever with your feet while riding slowly.
I do need to change to a hub dyno mainly because I hate noise, especially during audaxes or brevets. There is nothing more annoying to me than riding in a beautiful place with a bzzzzzzzzrrzzzzzrrr sound all night long. Secondly, as @mdcc_tester wisely wrote it, because it is under the fender and crankset, even with mudflap it is very maintenance dependent and not too reliable for long distances as I plan to do with this "randonneuse légère". And last but not least, by wheelbuilding I would be able to use modern day alloy rims with a machined braking surface. Much likely to brake as strong as Mafac Racers and Koolstop salmon pads allows me to!

Currently working on this - rides like a charm. Somehow, I'll swap wheels for a dyno hub and silver rims. (ATM It has a bottom bracket dynamo). I struggle to find a pair of 32h silver rims, something like dt460 but in chrome.... A lovely bike though, and apart hours of work it was a bargain !

Sure. It might be this one, right ? https://www.cnc-bike.de/product_info.php?cPath=163_442&products_id=13789

CNC bikes.com too. https://www.cnc-bike.de/index.php?cPath=163

Yes I have it on my daily commuter. Heavy but functional and strong

6v 3w seems plenty to me

Almost perfect ! Need a dynamo hub.

this is one of my dream bikes right here. lovely

👋 hello
Would you consider shipping a nitto randonneur to France ? Thanks

Mudflaps obsession (the following part).

5£. a pair for your mudguard ? but where ? :)

Oh my god this is a lovely rando bike. I'm following your advices with my Mafac racers

It should be a nice bike. Festive 500 is around the corner though.

That's a stunning bike mate, for sure the price is correct ! Currently wandering to build the same bike, but 58cm... ;)

Nop. It is a B&M afterall...

Yes, zip ties. I was in a hurry because that’s my daily bike. But this weekend I will put some small screws and bolt, it will be stiffer.

Bigger and bigger mudflaps. That’s why I love hacking Ikea’s table mats

Snowden's book has been a good read for me. I wrote an article about it on a French book review ("E.J. Snowden is a volcano"). However, if you don't read French you should read the London Review of Books article about him.

Yes, I'm a huge fan. I love this kind of channel that helps you being more free.

Everyday bike. Im often wearing a suit a needed a functional bike to act as my main way of transportation.
