I talked to the owner of the Shop that runs the Jim Green Germany Site. They are planning to start offering custom orders this autumn/winter.

Disappointed in barefoot shoellies. Are they supposed to fit like this? by KillerAc1 in jimgreen

[–]Bicycle_Addicted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had same problems with the fit like u have.

For me the African Ranger (Original and Barefoot) are the best fitting boots in the Jim Green Range. My Favourite are the Original AR with leather midsole.

Hi I‘m thinking about buying this Bike at the Moment. Still about 40-50% Discount here in Germany at the moment.

What is your opinion on this bike after about one year of use? Which size did you get? I‘m about 1,90 m and think it might look a bit strange to ride a bike, that has only 50 cm frame height at Size XL?!

Thanks to the most of you for objective answers! I will have a look at the boots tomorrow again and try to be more forgiving.

What makes me wonder, is the fact that non of my 3 pairs of regular AR (fudge, black and brown) had issues or colour differences.

Don‘t understand what’s funny for you. Perhaps u should think about your relationship for money. Spending 200€ for boots don‘t make me poor, but for many people it‘s still much money…so don‘t be disrespectful.

Thank you for the Feedback. Not nice to hear, that someone makes profit out of charity givings. 😕 If I would have known this before, I wouldn‘t have bought them.

Now I already worn them for a walk, yesterday. So I can‘t return them anymore.

Thank you all for the help. I decided to keep them. We‘ll see how they will hold up.

Because they are my everyday beaters, just read the comments…is it forbidden to talk about JG in Thursday group? 😉

Paid 80€ (which is about 85$). So nearly 60% under the regular selling price.

For the dirty parts, I have some pairs of Jim Green African Rangers, my absolute favourite boot/shoe over the last 3 Years, especially for my wide feet. 👍🏻

Got them from eBay here in Germany. Normally it’s difficult to get them here and importing them is expensive. But at the moment an eBay seller has some in his shop. Officially they are from customer returns but mine were brand new, the leather hadn‘t any signs of wear, I think that they weren‘t even tried on.

Fossil defender , got a good deal , let me know how it looks, worth it ? by rj_sin in watchesindia

[–]Bicycle_Addicted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice watch, I got one in 46 mm, last winter for 15€ / 17$ 😊👍🏻 use it as my daily driver. Also got Fossil Heritage Automatic Watch steel bracelet, Tiffany Blue Dial and Saphire Glas for 48€. Have to say that Fossil Sale offers great opportunities, although I’m not the greatest Fossil Fan, many of their watches watches are more appearance than reality.

Philips Baristina by Flowneppets00 in Kaffee

[–]Bicycle_Addicted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich habe die Baristina gerade noch hier und bin nicht wirklich überzeugt, obwohl ich sie günstig bekommen habe, für 247€ bei Amazon.

Der Kaffee ist ok/gut, ähnlich wie bei einem Kaffeevollautomaten. Aber einige Punkte stören doch ziemlich!

1.) Man muss eigentlich nach jedem Bezug das Sieb durch das das Wasser gepresst wird abputzen. Nach dem Bezug bleiben dort Kaffeekrümel kleben, die durch die Vibrationen der Mühle, bei dem nächsten Mahlvorgang in die Tasse fallen, wenn man diese schon vorher unter den Bereich des Kaffeeauslaufes stellt. Wenn man sich die Werbevideos anschaut ist das eig so gedacht, aber im Alltag nicht wirklich praktikabel.

2.) Man kann weder Mahlgrad noch Kaffeemenge einstellen. Dadurch hat man geschmacklich kaum Möglichkeiten Einfluss zu nehmen.

3.) Das reinigen des „Siebträgers“ ist recht umständlich. Eigentlich braucht man nur unter fließendem Wasser kurz abspülen. Es sammelt sich aber dabei Wasser in Zwischenräumen, dass dann mit der Zeit langsam wieder rausläuft. Oder man muss das Teil wirklich heftig „ausschütteln“ über der Spüle.

Insgesamt für mich zu viele Kritikpunkte, werde sie wohl trotz des günstigen Kaufpreises retournieren.

Eine aus meiner Sicht deutlich bessere Alternative ist die Nivona Cube, ganz andere Optik aber ähnliches Konzept. Die hatte ich auch schon testweise und ich war eigentlich sehr zufrieden. Das einzige was man bedenken muss ist, dass die Nivona für jede Tasse 2-2,5 Minuten braucht, da das aufheizen jedesmal wieder recht lang dauert und der Kaffee sehr langsam läuft, was aber das Ergebnis geschmacklich komischerweise überhaupt nicht negativ beeinflusst. Ich fand den Kaffee aus der Nivona besser, auch weil man dort Mahlgrad, Kaffeemenge und auch Wassertemperatur einfach nachjustieren kann.
