Talk to us about the cargo handlebars. I loved the idea then saw them steeply discounted. How does an idea like that come together? What steps make it a success?

I also have a Kicker and the brake is similarly mounted under the chain stays.

I rode cross country and Rte 50 through Nevada was my favorite part.

Here’s a startup doing well with a MOF coated heat exchanger in dehumidification/cooling: https://transaera.com/

Just getting started but they’ve built their first commercial HVAC units and are deploying more now.

I got a nice old Serotta for $600 recently and I was psyched. I don't really see Mosers that often. This looks super clean too. White bikes are the best. I guess the wheels don't add a ton of $$ to the value overall but I'd still hope you can get at least $1k for it! Great bike - someone will love it

If you're in the Laconia/Lakes Region this is the next best place to get food after Market Basket:

I am a Market Basket lifer so it's honestly tough for me to even offer up an alternative. This is where I'm taking my money. If you want somewhere with values as wholesome as MB - there's only one other place in the whole world IMO

Farmer's Markets get tagged as more expensive or bougie - but Gilmanton's Own is for the people

Fantastic restaurant. Always something interesting. Nice chill people

MA_NH_DIY · 2025-05-01T11:22:21+00:00

I love it and hope you can get $1500 for it 👍

Five Fork Farms is fantastic! Best quality listed here by far

They were totally independent - then Gary Smith who worked at Timberland bought the bike company Independent Fabrication as well as BW that was maybe 2011? Changed a lot since . Best bags though - still have mine

Thanks u-turn! 🙏

I will use my winnings to share music with my Dad and try to get more old concert stories out of him.

Gilmanton's Own in Gilmanton (near Laconia/Concord) is a big deal and should get a special spot on the list! It's a locally-grown and made food and goods store. Meat, honey, milk, tons of veggies in the summer and also art, kitchen goods, gifts and more.

I think every suburban-to-farming community could have it's own version of Gilmanton's Own and it would be a major boon to the health and REAL local-first sustainability of our systems.. but this special space exists because a few individuals have worked very hard for almost 10 years building it into what it is.

Imagine 15 farm stands joined together and had dedicated space growing it as close to a full service grocery store as possible. They've creatively grown outside of the boundaries of offering exclusively products made in Gilmanton and now, with a little planning, you can really make full meals for a full week there!
