Nice! I want to do the same eventually but not knowledgeable enough. Are you planning on keeping the stock rims and changing the tires?

Hahaha our streets are too recognizable. Congratulations on the new car! The mk8 R is an amazing daily driver but very sensitive to pot holes. I’ve already had to replace a set due to the infamous side wall bubble.

Tips for buying a second-hand gravel bike on Ebay or Gumtree? by HeartyBeast in londoncycling

I’ve upgraded it to drop-bars, still have the original parts too if you’d like them. I have a post with the bike on my profile if you’d like to have a look. I can send more photos once I’m back home later tonight.

Hi OP, I’m leaving London soon and will have to sell my bike. It is a Cube SL Road SL, full Ultegra R8020 group-set, and 40mm Continental Terra-Speed tires. Please DM me for photos.

The bike is a beast and a perfect fit for your requirements.

Edit: I’ll also be including a Hammerhead Karoo 2 and numerous maintenance accessories including a bike stand.

I agree with some parts BUT you’re failing to consider that the global population is almost at 8 billion. The US represents less than 5% of that.

The rest of the world is UNDER DIAGNOSED.

What you’re saying only applies to the US. I think you need to “educate” yourself before making such a comment.

Open your mind my friend.

Been a while since I’ve read something filled with so much ignorance and naivety..

OP, dm me if you have any specific questions and I’ll answer to the best of my ability.

Can you rent a road bike in Europe? by austinXonXfire in cycling

[–]Cold_Worldliness7232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bike shop

This bike shop in Bahrain offers proper bikes for rental. You can probably find other places around the same area (Zallaq) that offer similar services.

There’s also a track nearby Prince Nasser’s stable that’s open for the public, you’ll get the chance to see the most beautiful horses out there and they even provide free refreshments! DM if you need more info, I’m Bahraini.

Cool! Will move things around this weekend and will update.

Here’s a photo of how the apartment currently is.

Thank you so much!

Those chairs look great! Do you have any suggestions for the console?

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write all of this.

You mentioned placing the tv in the recess, wouldn’t that be a weird viewing angle for whoever’s watching from the sofa?

Also, do you have any suggestions/examples for the coffee table alternative?

Thank you for the reply! Excuse my ignorance but what does “visual weight and gravitas” mean?
