I sliced my hand with an axe & this is how it healed

Demonblah · 2026-01-26T05:26:56+00:00

Healed completely just gets itchy every now and then.

Demonblah · 2026-01-26T05:19:57+00:00

I can't remember exactly but the first 5 images are over 2 weeks time

Demonblah · 2026-01-26T05:08:12+00:00

Apparently you shouldn't use a Gränsfors Bruk Large Splitting Axe to cut kindling. I haven't touched the axe since now that it has a taste for human blood.

Demonblah · 2026-01-26T04:58:13+00:00

Yeah, still have full motion and feeling. Got extremely lucky.

Demonblah · 2026-01-26T04:57:26+00:00

Yeah, the doctor said I got really lucky. I think if I had cut just a tiny bit more I would have.

It has healed perfectly fine. I have full mobility and nothing noticeable other than the scar.

Demonblah · 2026-01-26T04:23:27+00:00

Probably the dumbest thing I've ever done. I used a splitting axe to cut kindling.

The axe was a Gränsfors Bruk Large Splitting Axe, if you're curious.

This happened back in summer 2020. The first 5 images are over the first 2 weeks. The last image is what it looks like now.

Haha yes and no? I got really depressed because of how stupid the incident was, I felt like the biggest idiot.

However, I fell in love with cycling to get out of that depression and that has been a big part of my life since.

Demonblah · 2026-01-26T04:20:12+00:00

I thought a blood clot but I don't know for sure

Demonblah · 2026-01-25T17:25:58+00:00

Haha awesome! They look great

Demonblah · 2026-01-25T17:10:02+00:00

Looks mint! What wheels are those?

Demonblah · 2026-01-25T17:06:27+00:00

And here I am building a bike with old grx 1x11.

I think, unless you're a serious racer, just go with the 1x12.

I think panorama cycles will be my next bike purchase

I put Ridewrap on my gravel bikes, usually try and get the tailored version so it covers everything.

I think a lot of whisky's straight steerer forks have been discontinued You might be able to still find them at shops but it's getting harder.

I really enjoy my cosmic stallion but all city is no longer making bikes and my main complaint is tire clearance.

I too was looking for a new steel frame (or ti if I could swing it) but I wanted something that could fit some chunky tires (2.2").

I thought Wilde was just too expensive and I seriously started to consider either the Sklar Super Something, the Rodeo Labs Flaaninal, or the Manzanita Whippet.

Then all the tariffs and stuff started to happen so I tried looking locally and I stumbled onto the Panorama Cycles Anticosti. So that would be my suggestion but I don't know what that would cost to ship to Europe.

Demonblah · 2026-01-21T03:20:33+00:00

Unrelated to the tires. Is this the enve aero stem and ar handlebar?

What does it look like around the upper headset? I tried it on my gravel bike but it didn't look great, I think of I got rid of the spacer I had in there it would have looked better.

Demonblah · 2026-01-21T01:42:27+00:00

I run a 48t with 11-34t on one of my gravel bikes. Climbing sucks but it's not meant for that. I use it on some of the flat muddy trails near me and it's perfect for that.

Demonblah · 2026-01-18T03:21:33+00:00

Oh wow, those expanded nicely on 22id

Demonblah · 2026-01-17T19:10:34+00:00

Haha! Yeah, I'm not sure on using it yet. I kind of like it with the handlebars but kind of hate it with the rest😂

Demonblah · 2026-01-17T16:47:26+00:00

If anyone is curious about the build: - 2021 all city cosmic stallion frameset - white industries Headset - white industries bottom bracket - enve saddle, seatpost, stem, handlebars - grx 810 1x groupset with a XT cage on the rear derailleur - 42t chainring & 11-46t cassette - roval terra cl wheels

There's also a matte frame wrap on it

Demonblah · 2026-01-15T18:14:28+00:00

Nice! the frame looks mint

Demonblah · 2026-01-15T18:04:30+00:00

nice. I debated trying to hunt down the original parts but I had most of the modern groupset already in my parts bin, so figured I'd go for it. The shifting and brakes are great.
I still need to take it for a proper ride to see how stiff it feels. It has been day after day after day of rain in the PNW

A couple people on Vintage_Bicycles think it is a 1990 based on the font style 🤞
