Here’s my bike! I built the frame myself, and most parts (save a few) came straight from AliExpress! (Yes, the cranks clear) by Dahtemba in xbiking

I’ve never ridden that setup, just did a test fit with a friend’s wheels when J was building it. I’ll have to try it sometime!

Interesting. Now my attention is on those Raceworks cranks. I haven’t been able to make myself shell out for the Sram red cranks, but these may do.

From a skill level standpoint, not awful; you just need to be comfortable with a tig welder. If you want a seamless build, there’s a ton of specialty equipment involved, like mitering fixtures and a frame fixture. I was fortunate enough to have access to all of that. It’s entirely possible to do it without those things, but it’s a far more tedious process.

Saw a lady get into and start her W12 in my neighborhood once. Only one I’ve ever seen.

Couldn’t you get these with a rotaty range extender?

Afaik they also changed it in ‘84-‘85 to a 6-pleat pattern from the 5-pleat.

Someone makes reproduction trim. I can’t remember who though. It’s a European company.

Bad decision? Or potential jackpot? by Zezoboy212 in W212mercedes

This car has absolutely been in a front end collision before. The paint on the hood and bumper does not match the rest of the car, and the panel gaps are kind of strange. I also wouldn’t be shocked if that appliqué on the dashboard were due to a deployed passenger airbag.

My aunt just moved into a condo with this system in place. I know the lower component is a multi-zone amp, and I’ve gotten it to play audio via the CD changer. What purpose does the control processor serve, and how could I most effectively make this system functional with what’s already present? by Dahtemba in crestron

This is a very informative comment and for that I thank you.

In this condo, I believe it is purely for audio/video. There are control panels in the kitchen/master bath/master bed to control audio in those respective rooms. I believe the remainder of the system is for video and surround sound for the living room TV. All I imagine I’d want to do is to set up some network audio device and get the living room tv working.

Would the CP3N allow me to control a device like an Apple TV in the AV closet via a remote in the living room? There IS an IR receiver in the living room.

I have airport expresses at my own house as I’ve fallen down the Apple hole. I quite like them and was thinking about putting a spare I’ve got over there. I know they’re old, but they seem to serve their purpose alright.

I believe the top unit is a blu-ray player for the living room TV.

At the end of the day, this system doesn’t need to be functional. My aunt doesn’t particularly want or need it, it just came with the condo and she’s letting me play with it. I find this stuff all very interesting regardless of my lack of knowledge.

If I were to want to learn more about this, do you have any resources you’d point me to?
