    After a day of waving spanners at mechs, hubs and what not it is still making the same horrible noises when put back together. I console myself with cider and I quite liked the random position Mrs Wiv moved it to where a dog spat out a teddy.

    Just got my hands on a Tunturi eMax.
    An electric assisted fat bike, man does this thing rip any surface you ride on. The worse, the more fun.

    Totally changed my perspective on biking for fun (and not exercise), took me back to when i was 7-10 years old and was riding any trail there’s was in front of me, now i can just fly by these trails if i wanted.

    Love me some bouncy country roads...they yield Trail Treasure! Or, Shoulder Schwag! Or, (busts out thesaurus...)
    Lane Lagniappe!
    In any case, a sizable 12” adjustable crescent.

    Bought myself a bike. So i can ride with my kids.

    Was surprised to find out bikes now have hydraulic brake systems.

    Unfortunately I have just sold my trusty old Cannondale :(

    Four sessions on the spinner and I could tell things were not going well, a telephone consultation with my consultant and basically "do not get on the saddle again" Thankfully I am getting back to normal and just have to accept life for what it is.

    Will still enjoy checking in and seeing what you boys are up to :thumbsup:

    I suffer from pudendal neuralgia so a saddle is a definite no no for me. Too much MTBiking over the years!
    I now ride one of these. 12F33771-DBF8-412E-9881-D4600B9F0726.jpeg
    It’s slightly slower than a bike (avg 14mph on flat) but it’s a great workout.

    last fall I bought my first bike in literally 27 years. Sold my MT along the way and was still riding my old Norco (which was a real good bike). Anyway, ended up with a Spot: belt driven with a 11-speed internally geared hub. Loving it, so smooth and quiet.

    Vintage watch guys may appreciate this vintage barn-find frame from 1987 I pulled out of storage, NOS in original wrapping:

    Cleaned this old lady today in preparation for a tour tomorrow. Certainly not the youngest, but rides brilliantly. Also, being 6”9, a frame that actually fits me is a rare find.
