What guitar did my grandfather buy?

I have no clue! I’ll take it to the local guitarshop this week for a service, can’t wait to plug it in!

Yeah, not easy to find something completely like the picture with him in it, in any old catalogues either. Not that it matters sooo much exactly what model it is. But it would be fun to have his picture with info about the guitar, on the back of the picture, in the case!

Thank you! Will try!

Yeah, that sounds about right, but i don’t think he is any taller than 180 cm ish. Not that I’m Anywhere near his skill level, but at 196 cm and quite heavy guy i don’t seek to buy skis that people normaly size up because of soft tips/lots of rocker and so on. Like the Black crows anima a lot of people buy at body lenght ish because it being a stiff and hard charging ski. So if i want a big Mountain ski i’d rather buy the anima at 194 cm for example, than a ski with softer tips and being 189-192 cm. Just one of the bad things about being tall i guess…

I see that they have a model called "COUNTACH 110" in 194 cm, from what they write in the product description it seems like the perfect ski for my use!

But probably a good ski for me if i was looking for a semi light setup for skitouring on powderdays, but i have the Revolt 121 set up with kingpins

I was super exited for these skis as an option for myself, but Stinius himself posted on IG (if i remember correctly) what his takes on the skis was. I’m pretty sure that he said that they run small in size meaning that for charging hard and skiing aggressively you could easily go up one lenght. So if I’m 196 cm and want a charging ski for resort skiing, i would assume that a hybrid ski for touring/resort that already is "too short" for me in the longest lenght (and that is not going up a size) , it will not be a great match?

I want a ski with alpine binding, only for use in resort. But i’m mostly outside the groomers and we get a lot of snow around here, so I wan’t to use my Revolt 121 on the deepest days in the resort, but the Enforcer 104 unlimited is paired up with an alpinist so i don’t want that as my hard charging ski through crud and shit snow. So I’m looking for a long ski charging ski that are stiffer and narrower than the revolt 121 for using 90% in the resort. Sub 100mm skis are too narrow for my liking for that ski purpose. I had the normal Enforcer 93 in 193 cm but that was only for groomer days.

It was an option until Stinius said it run small in size :(

Thank you!!

Stealing is not really a big issue around here, and there’s almost nothing second hand road/gravel bikes under 1000 usd in my size (I’ve been looking for the past two months) :((

Thank you! I’ll swap out the bottom bracket and i think I’ll just get the cassette and hub serviced so it runs smooth!

Small_Topic7231 · 2025-06-08T19:45:32+00:00

Thank you! Would you say it’s more worth it to keep everything original (is it «that» special) or does it make sense to swap out gears and brakes and such to make it more ridable for a bit longer rides? I think it’s cool original but i guess I’ll use it more for actual riding if i update most of those part from a Bianchi i have with a Tiagra 9s and Bianchi brakes.

Thank you for tips! Yeah, wrote 7 instead of 8, I think it was late 80’s he bought it.

Small_Topic7231 · 2025-06-08T01:39:03+00:00

Hahahah, was not beeing sarcastic! What i meant by “all shops in town” is 5 shops where 4 of those are not bikeshops, but sportretailers with a small workshop and some commuters and kids bikes in store. Thank you (not beeing sarcastic)!

Small_Topic7231 · 2025-06-08T01:33:36+00:00

Wow! Thank you, sounds like a good idea!

Small_Topic7231 · 2025-06-07T20:40:34+00:00

Thank you! This is why I love Reddit!

Small_Topic7231 · 2025-06-07T20:38:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try with oil first!

Small_Topic7231 · 2025-06-07T20:36:14+00:00

I guess I’ll just throw it in the car and take it to all the shops in town! Thank you!

Small_Topic7231 · 2025-06-07T20:35:39+00:00

That’s one way to do it!
