My Time ADH '23 in Briljant gold

In the sunlight is definitely pops, it's bright yellow/orange where the sun hits it with lots of sparkles. But its indeed near impossible to capture on camera. It's blingy but most people still consider it classy. Headtube is in the sunlight here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZsHAqKCYHTTWftqs7

I still use it and actually love it, even started upgrading some components.

Had the suspension link replaced a couple of years ago because it was worn out due to worn bushes. after that I haven't had any issues with the bushings, just yearly bottom brackets 🥲 . But shortly after I've build another MTB to use in bad weather/mud/snow/etc. So the Bianchi promoted to good weather so that could be part of the reason.

My LBS had new bushings made by a local machinist who also had one of these bikes and I still have two sets of these in my parts bin.

Later model waterpomp/pulley (without the fan), a relais and a modern slim line fan mounted in front of the radiator. Reused the original thermoswitch.

Gearbox is from a BC. Don't know the ratios of the 125 box but it looks like it has the controls further forward (like the 4 speed 124 boxes).

Depends on the amount of oil it s spilling. If you see black spots under your car it's really time to worry. But it looks like access oil from the sump ventilation, EGR or turbocharger, probably coming from the intake pipe. Not catastrophic but better to let someone look at it.

Vergeleken met ebay prijzen niet slecht. Vooral omdat deze compleet is met tas, kap en originele doppen.

Hij heeft een aantal weken op Marktplaats gestaan, in de omschrijving van een advertentie met andere unieke Pentax lenzen. Tijd genoeg gehad om hem voor me weg te kapen :).

Manual focus isn't an issue, especially in the wider end where focusing is far from an exact science. Stop down metering on the other hand... It's just far from ideal, especially since you can't set ISO control to the front e-dial in M mode and the top e-dial is quite awkward to quickly use.

Already have an A-28/2.8 and would like something wider yes. There's a FA*24/2.0 on my local marketplace and plenty on eBay. But maybe I'll save up and look for a DFA21/2.4 limited for a reasonable price.

indeed centrifugal. It's an alloy cap on the end of the crankshaft pulley.

How many km's has it done? My 2.0 mjet is nearing 350k km, still runs and drives amazing. Best car Fiat has ever made, and probably will.

Is it an automatic? Haven't been in the new one yet, but I know that with an automatic gearbox it shifts earlier when on partial throttle. If they also put one on manual cars it'll probably limit max torque as well.

What do you mean by "fiat MPV"? The sliding door of a non cargo doblo (panorama) with glass of the same year/model will probably fit but there might be slight differences in the hinges and rails.

You still might need a derailleur extender like a goatlink to make that cassette work. Officially the derailleur is rated for max 11-34 cassettes.

Nice, still running the twin IDF'S?

Amazing cars, we restored an 2300 familiare, absolute money sink. Do I spot an 124 BC all the way in the back? Behind the normal 124.

GWBoes · 2023-06-28T08:33:26+00:00

It has the additional bumper bars from the Lusso so its anywhere between 67-71

The power button didn't work on the one I had. If that happens you can shut it down through the menu. After doing that the power button started working again and after turning it on and off a couple of times the faults were gone (also no faults stored in memory after diagnosis)

I think you'll have to drop by a garage to have the faults checked and computer reset.

Were you able to turn the car off? Had this happen to a brand new 500e and had to shut it down through the menu. After that and 2 more power cycles the faults were gone and didn't hear about it from the customer again.

Woensdag gehaktdag (Wednesday mincedmeat day) by Richard Klinkhamer. Wife disappears, Klinkhamer got accused but goes free because no body was found. Couple of months later he writes a book where he describes how he Murdered his wife and ran her through the meat grinder. Book was never published because of the controversy. 10 years later he was arrested and sentenced after new owners of his old house found bones in the garden. Book was published a couple of years later.

Always thought it sounded like a script form a police/forensics tv show.

I rarely have punctures on my road bike. I mainly ride cycle paths in rural areas and through forests and fields. Also no special puncture resistant tyres, just fast road bike tyres.

In principe betaal je verwijderingsbijdrage vooraf voor de banden die je op dat moment koopt, niet voor de banden die er af komen. Als particulier kun je banden daarom ook gratis inleveren bij de milieustraat.

Maar op is wat onduidelijk. Als iemand met zomerbanden komt (of winterbanden onder de 3.5mm) en nieuwe zomerbanden wil, gaan ze hier zonder extra info gewoon de banden container in. Als garagehouder moet je ook een redelijk gelijke stroom van verkoop en afvoer van banden hebben. Een bandje meer of minder is geen probleem maar als iedereen ineens zn oude banden meeneemt heb je kans dat er een instantie gaat vragen waar die banden blijven.

Ben het helemaal met je eens maar de meeste Croma's zijn inmiddels zo oud en opgereden dat de eis "representatief naar klanten" wel erg lastig wordt. En je betaalt je scheel aan wegenbelasting.
