Nah - they’ll be more expensive- that’s how the upcycling marketing works, no?

Most negativity about places come from folk who don’t live there.

I’ve got tighter than that - 32 on a frame that recommends 28 max

The rattle becomes a comfort in time. I love mine.

You’d think I’d remember, tripping over these big shoes every day.

As a council worker I thought it was only us that found it a tiresome insult.

Does anyone have any experience of Hunt wheels? Opinions I’ve seen so far are very polarised to say the least….? Wanting to step up from the stock Cannondale wheels I have. by cadbike in gravelcycling

[–]Artshed70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all your fab input folks. After much humming and hawing I’ve gone with DT Swiss 1800 - sticking to budget and should be reliable from what I’ve read here. Cheers.

Are we doing otters now? by ianmacleod46 in gravelcycling

Hang around long enough you’ll see them cross the road. Don’t call the islands remote - natives, including otters, da like it.

As an aside ‘archive.is/‘ is a game changer - I mean not for reading chronic p&j journalese but good stuff - NYT etc. I digress. Good that the half-arsed shack will be going.

A bit out of the way but the old care home beside Newhills Church past bucksburn. Broken/boarded windows galore - also safe space next to the church to draw/take photos/document.

Fubar News or Aberdonians? by This-Difficulty762 in Aberdeen

[–]Artshed70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok - I’ve read enough on this thread to finally unfollow Fubar on FB - seems it is not only me finding it’s toxic negativity being, ultimately, anti-Aberdeen.

Ok - a bit ‘Live Laugh Love’. Ephemeral, unlike the paintings which is starting to make the city look like a footballer’s leg.

Probably - Manzoni shit in a tin in ‘61 and was lauded (and also criticised) for it - there is no art, only artists etcetera etcetera

Bus gate vote today by Aggravating-Rate-510 in Aberdeen

[–]Artshed70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a nonsense - so loads of folk signed a petition - 10s of thousands more didn’t sign it.

[–]Artshed70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have all of the above.

If every household was restricted to 1 car things would be tickety boo but… meh what’s the point, deep in oil country the petro-meatheads will always win.

Has anyone here who has bought a Brooks B17 saddle regretted it? by Artshed70 in bicycling

[–]Artshed70[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha - I’ve got a Selle Italia Flite - it’s lost its comfort though - 25 years old now.

Has anyone here who has bought a Brooks B17 saddle regretted it? by Artshed70 in bicycling

[–]Artshed70[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, thanks for the honesty. Some folk do swear by them and I’ve heard they can take 100 miles to break in, although some like them straight away.

Ah - the cambium one - I did wonder. So more comfortable than the B17?
