though, you might be able to find an old pootler used somewhere? i've got a phillips with an SA 3spd hub that's probably fifty years old and as many pounds, and it's just fine for short jaunts around the hood.

the second hand market for, well, anything is crazy in munich. e.g. this bike will sell at that price: http://munich.de.craigslist.de/bik/2525661302.html and people do things like say "i bought this fridge for €700, the extended warranty was €100, and i've had it for a year, so i'm willing to sell it for €650." it is nuts.

i mean tell me if i'm being a cheapskate, but this guy would be delusional in any other city on earth, right? http://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=226549

$120 would be a bit steep, yeah. so even operating under the assumption that $=€ , that's kinda nuts

what kind of liar/idiot/shut-in says a bike with white plastic pedals and albatross handlebars is the fastest bike they've ever owned?

I meant to post a photo from yesterday called "WDYDLLL on an island?" because my previously-from-California bike has now been to Midtown, but I just didn't get around to it. Oh well.

Taken by a friend who's a professional photographer - he's got a contract for a cycling website to promote cycling in Devon and Brittany, and I'm his model. This is last Wednesday, at dusk, along the Exe estuary, after 20 miles.

After 21 years of not having a bike (got stolen the first week when I moved to a university town and never bothered again after that) I just ordered a new http://www.achielle.be/EN/craighton.php Achielle Craighton Pure Opa because I liked how one of them looked in the shop I went to on a whim (I should have a bike, it's stupid not to have one now I live only 2 km from the city center here). It will be assembled now and I'll have it in about one to two months.

However, now I get home I find out this Achielle brand apparently is like mega hot and hipster cool at the moment! Paris Hilton and stuff :-(

Anyway, this is WMfutureBwillLL:

Mark C, Wednesday, 5 October 2011 21:27 (twelve years ago) link

It is quite heavy, yes, but not unliftable.

Putting tubulars on it makes it a less good winter trainer but this local dude who hangs out in a bike store sold me Rovals with tyres for $99

is that a ti quill stem?

dead precedents politics as usual (Hunt3r), Thursday, 26 January 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link

Not actually sure. It is Ti coloured and pretty light. I should put it through the XRF at work and find out.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 26 January 2012 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

It was on eBay and it matched the Dura-ace shifters and the headset that came with the frame.
