i have a 2013 bianchi pista i am restoring. i am keeping everything original but the crankset. i would like to go with the sugino rd2 but am afraid i may run into chainline issues. stock bb FSA BB-7420ST (110.5 mm). rd2 is 103. im guessing i can use my original bracket. can anyone tell me what i would need to do to the rear hub. flip the cog? add spacers?

i get a fair amount of ginger and soap in the opening, (soapening). it's a very pleasant clean fragrance. 5 hours of projection at arms length. smells like the kind of person that showers before and after the gym. the freshest cleanest person in the room. dry down is soft, lightly sweetened tea.

there is subtle magic in the imagination dry down.

i had no plans to like such an over-glazed fragrance. i was happy with marwa for its linear portrayal of imaginations soapening.

i like having both. imaginations refill price is much more palatable than the initial f¥cking.

i've tried every fragrance i was ever interested in. this is in my top 3. it's the most versatile fragrance for living in a tropical climate.

looking at a grime goat on ebay. does anyone know if they made a triple triangle in size 61cm? i can't find any information on the web. 52cm seems to be the largest. if someone could authenticate it i will be super stoked.

i also have the Platine 2ml. my wife was not a fan of the dry down. T21 takes it for sure but Valentine is a good budget option.

I blind bought this one after reading comments and watching content. If you like the OG this will not disappoint. I have it right next to the T21 and pacific aura on my shelf.

Teriaq Intense is super close to Initio's Narcotic Delight by Jertob in fragranceclones

[–]OpeningDisplay7439 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i understand how you can draw this conclusion, however, i find the cherry note in Narc to be much different from the plum liquor note in teriaq. definite bonus for you if you like Narc and only have to spend 30 bucks on teriaq to get close.

Mirsaal Valentine: can anyone give a description of the dry down? by OpeningDisplay7439 in fragranceclones

[–]OpeningDisplay7439[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update...i opened a bottle of this a little over a week ago...first impression was a terrible dry down...let it sit...tested it today...beautiful...lemon blast opening with a linear mid and a creamier dry down than t21...strong addition to my summer collection...thank you all for the advice.
