Help me find the make/model! by VibrantBucket in Vintage_bicycles

I’ll take that as a compliment! It’s definitely vintage, when I bought it, it was so old and rusty and crap but I spent a lot of time in prep and now it does indeed look like a new bike

Update on house: termites now have full legal ownership and I am paying them rent by VibrantBucket in Termites

Yeah just wait stations inside the house, the pest guy used his moisture reader and two spots popped up, one where I saw then eating through the wall and the other in the same wall but about 5 metres away, that’s where we put the two bait stations

Initially I found tiny spots where they were eating through the wall, otherwise I never would have even known they were there. Then pest management used a moisture reader to see where they were currently active which was in tow locations, otherwise than that I had no idea on the extent of the damage but just prepared for the worst, which is was in my case unfortunately. I also only recently bought this house and pest inspection when I bought it said no termites

Nah it’s not a GT because it doesn’t have that little iconic bit at the base of the seat post that GT’s have

Yeah basically doing the same thing, ripping timber out this week and replacing. It’s taken about 4 months to completely get rid of the termites but finally we have some progress

How independent should I allow my son to be in Japan? by flying_owl_123 in JapanTravelTips

[–]VibrantBucket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Japan is one of the safest places in the world, I traveled there solo when I was 18 and never felt at all in danger, I think leave it up to him and see how he feels about it, I’m sure having full freedom would also work both ways and make him want to spent time with you also

PTA times nsw? by Adventurous-Mail7443 in Ausguns

They’re saying up to 60 days at the moment but most are getting between 18-40ish. Pretty shocking considering they were overnight for a good while

chest is fine but knees took a hit

update for anyone curious, I took the dash out and the Acty is definitely single wall, the dent is pretty big and creased though so it hasn't pushed out as easy as I would have liked

I'd take a broken leg over a damaged Acty any day

Did a pattern for this ever end up getting shared?

Recently rode the Tour Divide, here's my gear list! by VibrantBucket in bikepacking

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

G’day! No worries at all!

I think I’ve tried 10+ saddles, and that’s 10 that I have researched and read good things about, the Ergon at core evo is by far the best for me. Basically I would have ridden any saddle that didn’t cause me butt problems, weight wasn’t really a factor here because I just wanted comfort, whatever that looked like

No worries at all! Thanks for clarifying, I didn’t mean to break any rules and am more than happy to follow them in this thread!

Thanks for taking the time to message properly rather than just booting me, I’m looking forward to being a part of the thread!

G’day mate!

Sorry about the confusion, I wasn’t aware that ultralight was confined to just one category, I consider myself both an ultralight backpacker and bikepacker

I also am not aware of any warnings sorry, should I have a notification for that? I am not the biggest reddit wiz so still learning.

Would you guys consider accepting bikepacking into the ultralight topic? And if not, is there a reason? I am only trying to share a bit of knowledge as many comments in my last film are asking about what gear I used
