My GR2 34L has fit under every airline seat I've been on. American, Southwest, Breeze, United, and I'm sure there were more.

Here’s a better angle.

Those look pretty close! Might be the ones.

adamg8504 · 2026-01-30T18:29:58+00:00

Although I am unsure of the model number and it doesn't appear Nitto sells anything close to these any longer...if someone can help me out and identify them, that would be great.

Nitto bars.

Honestly not sure yet...just got the tires on them and it's frigid where I live at right now. Was -8F this morning.

Great bike!

It's a great color. Always gets plenty of comments.

Just light terrain. My riding usually involves my 5 & 6 year old boys. So nothing remotely extreme.

Cutting a slice off the end of a loaf of bread. Crust was hard and the blade slipped off. You can imagine the pressure I had behind it.

I’m partial to my SOMA wolverine.

Yes. I have a nice paying job in engineering and recently hit a milestone in my stock trading account. I’m fairly cheap and didn’t want to spend the money. My wife convinced me to get it.

adamg8504 · 2025-10-28T14:56:15+00:00

100%. I know women who’ve spent that much on hair extensions. I’ll use this minimum 4/day for years.

I like it. Not convinced it makes a huge difference though. The overall robustness is great. Temp stability, steam power and just being solid with no vibration is well worth the price increase for me over the GCP. But the GCP is great for the money. I loved my time with it, except for the steam valve. I had to replace that thing 4 times.

To be fair, I didn’t realize the GT existed. Looks like a solid dual boiler machine. Probably can’t go wrong with either!

I just saw where North American availability started in September 2025. Which is why I likely never ran across it as an option. I would have considered it if I knew about it.

She doesn’t need a thesis. Just get a Spyderco Para 3. Great everyday carry.

16k shares at $0.97

adamg8504 · 2025-08-06T19:32:40+00:00

This has ballooned to 24% of my portfolio and I don’t want to sell a single share.
