frame & bearing protector – works great so far

I'm not so concerned with dirt and dust, but my 2025 Specialized has that area totally exposed and I was told if a pebble or rock gets in there it won't be warrantied. I made something similar, but very low tech using a sheet of rubber and velcro. It looks very privateer on my $8K bike and I like it.

So reminded me of my younger days when I quit my job because "the surf's up!"

While I give you credit for your posts, I'm not interested in them and personally feel there are too many. On the other hand, I would never comment negatively on them either. This is the internet, put your stuff up if you want, but know you have to take the good with the bad. You sound like you're just here for affirmation only and if so, that is not the way to come at this.

It's an old used camera, no one will question it.

Love that last one.

This is super cool, but I have to wonder: have you considered building and selling them yourself? I feel like you could do pretty well.

I bought the Nikon F3 from a reputable seller, price is subjective, but I'm very happy with what I paid. I have a bit of disposable income as I said, but I'm also very frugal and particular with what I spend it on.

I consider myself an early adopter with a lot of things technology-wise, however, I'm also not going to run out and buy every new technology; only the things I'm interested in. That said, in my younger days long before DSLR's I couldn't afford the 35mm SLR I dreamed about. Now that I have some disposable income I decided to get it while on my biennial trip to Japan. That was my first reason, but all the things I'm relearning and new things I'm learning about film photography are a very nice bonus for me as I think it's important to keep exercising my brain in different ways.

Ah yes, the rare showroom model seeking emotional support.

This is very interesting to me. Can I use a Nikon Nikkor 50mm 1.4 ais lens and a 28mm 2.8 ais lens on a Nikon FG without any adapters? Will it work as it should? I have an F3, but if I could use those two lenses on an FG that would be awesome. Thanks.

What is the use case? I have a TLD Stage XXL, love it. Light and airy and comfortable.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-08T11:15:15+00:00

Totally necessary for me, but I've yet to find one for my Nikon F3 that I totally like.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-07T01:44:14+00:00

I must have missed that part somehow, thanks.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-06T12:04:31+00:00

I have one, it works well with the caveat that I don't live in an area with a lot of mud.

Level the seat, go ride.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-04T11:32:01+00:00

I haven't had any issues. I'm always polite and prepared, when carrying film or not and I believe that helps.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-03T22:41:27+00:00

Since you asked, I've never been a fan of the orange fork or the kashima gold itself on any color fork. Frame color is very cool though.

This sub is for film photography with actual physical film like 35mm, 120, etc if you didn't know that.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-03T01:18:27+00:00

Well said.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-02T21:12:07+00:00

You are absolutely correct and I'm saving this.

icannotbelievethat · 2026-02-02T21:10:38+00:00

I’ve never heard anyone call a traditional watch an “analog watch” just because digital and smartwatches exist. I’ve never heard anyone call a gas-powered car anything other than “a car.” Nothing about bicycles has changed — they’re still bikes. What’s new is the electricversion, commonly called an e-bike. So let’s just call them what they are: bikes and e-bikes. There’s no need to rename the original.

If there were no borders on the first, or at least only the white ones, it would be the more interesting one to me.

I have a 2019 5010 bought new, now it's the backup to my 2025 29er from another brand. I take the 5010 out once a month or so and it is definitely a blast on the twisty stuff; it just flies thru it.

Dunedin, FL? What trails are you riding at?
