    Yeah, but everybody knows a good schlumph is a wonderful and enduring thing. Somethings to cherish and pass down to the next generation. like a set of fine dentures

    I was thinking about that. But then it began to sound like an effort so I went for a ride on my Dutch bike… that cures all frustrations.

    Two things about that stand. It doesn’t life either wheel clear of the ground, so if either wheel is sitting on a slight bump the kickstand is clear of the ground. It’s just a bit but it’s kinda stupid. the second thing is that there is an extension for the tab you push it down with, to clear...

    Specialized Creo In The Rain

    If you can get your wife to use a small suitcase you have crossed into an area of reason which man rarely experiences, a moment to be cherished. I’d call the local university to get it documented as well.

    Honda WN7… 350 volts

    the line between motorcycles and e-bikes is getting properly blurry now. 350 volts / 80ish mph

    Specialized Creo In The Rain

    At our shop we’ve seen problems with e-bikes carried on racks in the rain. The electrical systems on these things is designed to withstand living outside in pretty much all weather, but not the blast of highway speeds. Driving down the highway at 70mph into a headwind of 20mph in heavy rain is...

    I met my wife when her motorbike broke down and I stopped to help, so I literally picked her up in the gutter. I had a Jawa in those days, rare as hens teeth over here even when they were still importing them. The guy I was riding with that day got off his bike, walked back and saw a pretty...

    Doesn’t a suitable partner show up to the first date on a hand built custom steel bike? something covered in polished aluminium bits and fitted with an NOS vintage group set. or am I setting my sights rather high.

    I was amusing myself picturing the mailman dropping packages down the chimney, then I remembered they are on strike again.

    I’ve lived in some lovely places in northern Canada so I’m familiar with real winter. The kind where you can walk up the snowdrift in front of the house right up onto the roof with just a small step at the edge of the roof. or where the daytime high was -30 to -35F for over a month straight...

    Plastic free lunchboxes for rear panniers?

    I once used an aluminum camera case. From the used pile at the back of the large photography shop. Plastic free makes it difficult, why is that a requirement. i mean… other than its poisoning our planet.

    Fancy seatpost for more saddle angle adjustment?

    the original issue doesn’t sound right at all. The seat provided with the Electra is of a type usually fitted with the nose up a bit, sorta nestles yer bum into the wide bit at the back of the seat. Is the seat post the right way around, I’ve seen dopier things done by shop builders. The portion...
