A bit rough but comfiest watch ever

While I am succumbing to despair because Tudor is still not releasing a Pelagos FXD in 39mm, I do find this BlackBay highly comfortable and lovely.

Hi there, a quick question.
I am currently building an all-road bike with a Campagnolo Chorus 12sp groupset (hydraulic disc version). I already have the groupset and I do have a set of DT swiss rims and a SON dynamo hub in the front.
I was thinking that Hope had compatible rear hubs, but after emailing them, they don't.
So my next best option is to find campagnolo freehub or ratchet body compatible with a 12x142mm rear hub. Do you think this freehub and hub could work ?

Almost done after thousands of miles and lovely adventures with me :)

That's a beautiful bike. I would really be interested in the stem-compatible mount you used here to mount the GPS unit. Could you share the reference?

Wonderbar. Wonderbike. Love the father everyday carry vibe.

A beautiful stainless modern road frame made by french artisan CYFAC

Exact same one, yes. I bought it thanks to a voucher/coupon I had.

This seems amazing although I'm pretty bothered by their bulky plasticky-look once again

Son Edelux or Supernova 'regular' E3 or M99 low beam

This is actually an artpiece

Hi there.
It's been 3 months since I got myself a very well-known Benchmade 940 O.
I was a bit hesitant to buy because of all the issues I've been reading on Benchmade QC and misalignment seemed hard to understand for such an expensive folding blade.

But so far, I can tell that this is one of the best knife I've owned in my life and everything else now seems a bit weird.
I still edc an Ontario Rat 2 d2 from time to time and it's a nice tool at a bargain price, but the feeling I have with my osborne is truly unmatched.
So much that I decided to grow a mustache and build my next bike around this paint-scheme (purple ano and dark green).

Nitto Randonneur ! They are, by far, the best I tried for long distances. Only regret for other bikes: they do not exists with a 31.8MM clamp width in order to work with modern bikes.

After a rear-wheel rebuild.
Almost there! It still needs better tires (at the end of the winter, hopefully, since these still have plenty of mileage to do) and proper internal wiring of the rear light.

Good news ! SON NABENDYNAMO is about to release an updated version of their edelux with an usb-output https://nabendynamo.de/edelux-ladescheinwerfer-2/

In love with this classic !

Thank you very much for your answers @amey @Arvy.

Hi everyone. I'm considering buying a Brompton.
Yesterday I went to my Brompton Junction shop and tried 3 of their offer:

• the A line (too cheap, old, flimsy, uneconomical to upgrade i think)
  
• the C line (the very classic one, with dynamo hub and 6 speeds thanks to a sturmey archey rear hub), it was a nice ride.
  
• the P line with titanium chainstays, it's a nice ride but the difference is striking when folded, if anything.
  
  

I'm currently trying to choose between the P and C (because of the P non integrated hub and lighter weight), but the minus 3kg is adding 1000 euros. I want something really reliable because I will ride 200kms per week, take the train and everything. Does the sturmey archey hub work better than the Brompton-potentially-fiddly-proprietary rear derailleurs ? A good thing is that in case of rear flat, it would be easier to road-side repair. Does it justify to pay almost twice the price ? Would I still be able to upgrade the C line if I choose it ?

Thank you very much.

I bought the warmer ones: impressive quality. They even gave me a neck warmer for free. I've ridden 500k during the Rapha Festive with these tights and I am happy so far. Delivery and expedition were quick (especially compared to Rapha who lost 1 parcel and took ages to ship). Sizing is perfect and I love the reflective add-on. I'll buy other things soon.

Morning :)
With my "sprinting" physique (6ft1, 88kgs) I had great success with the Equipe tights so I decided to buy the Galibier Mistral yesterday. I was willing to add many things (Ardennes glasses, toe covers, winter fluro gilet...etc) but my bank account was pretty conservative on the matter.
I'll keep you posted.

Peter White Cycle did the tests. Running it on the fork crown appears to be the best to avoid shadows / spread the beam

Hi passhunting,
how is the assembling and building process so far ?

And from now on, I get a feeling of punctum when I watch these videos, knowing that he's not riding his bike with dogs by his side, knowing that he's not cooking on a little stove next to his tent either, but that he's dead. It's sad indeed, and I feel like building a bike or riding big miles is a nice tribute. I think I bought my first pair of Marathon tires or my first pair of panniers after reconsidering Touring thanks to his videos.

I bought a Genesis Longitude few years ago inspired by Iohan. I am happy to see this thread
