not too elegant, but long overdue.

a Curt MFG hitch mount for the family car (Camry)

now I've gotta figure out what rack to get for a 1-1/4" mount.

Studded tires for the Kona Rove and the soon to be icy roads around here.

Mint 1998 Navigator with cool parts spec.
60cm is too big for me but may flip or scavenge parts for
another bike.

I don't do Vintage and not overly nostalgic but that is a very cool bike.

These are HUGE... and crazy expensive ($259).

Got an old pair that started to fade in the lens after several years of usage, Smith was nice enough to offer a $200 replacement credit, so went and bought this on their website. Even with the credit, still had to come up with $80+ for the difference, shipping ($20), taxes.

Anyway, I got my goggles, I am ready to go skiing....wanna come along Greg?

They say Fashion trends repeat. The average amount of time it takes for a certain style to come back into fashion is around 20-30 years.
Right now, trends popular in the 1980s and 1990s are once again in style.

True.

Louis pal gave me one of those older style sunglasses long time ago when I was in St Louis, never really did have the courage to wear them.
Anyway, rode the new shade today... to be completely honest, I don't see its "advantage" over my $9.95 Walmarts.

Another package came in today...

This is HUGE too!

I am ready to climb Angliru.

I have one of those on my bike I keep in Asia
even with the 34x42 I still die a lot on their short but steep
15-20% climbs that last 5-6km

I think I need an adventure crankset next over there hahah

weisan · #**3223** 12-24-2021, 11:48 AM

I have a triple in the front. I like to cover all my bases.

Where in Asia?

Nice! Never ridden in that area before.
