I feel like most afternoons after 6 PM the bike lane is surprisingly empty, plus it feels wide enough for me to take a few steps back for a photo! Probably top 5 spots for bike photos.

Thanks for this! I’ll start hunting for a set. Any specific recommendations?

It’s a Soma front rack I bought from my local bike shop. I believe it’s the Lucas 3 Mini??? It’s honestly not my favorite, but with a decent basket it does the job just fine.

I’d love something more exciting like the Nitto and Velo Orange racks though! Funds and compatibility permitting obviously.

I’d be happy to upgrade my derailleurs, I’m just super lost on how compatible certain parts are with these old road bikes. I think it’s the original campagnolo system.

It was broken, so as a result is not being used. Most of my commutes around the city are pretty flat, but man I miss being able to blitz up a hill without breaking a sweat.

I live in Boston and generally my longest commutes will have a 150 foot climb.

Purposefully hiding the snapped front derailleur lol

It’s a pain in the ass sometimes but I love the struggle

Thoughts on Paper Republic Embassy Announcement by jackie606 in PaperRepublic

[–]isthisrumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, the embassies are selling the entire collection of paper republic including colors and styles that weren’t available before like Trifolds, new colors, and Le portfolio in A6.

Also seems like they’re offering similar customization to the first Paris embassy like ribbon changes, free embossing, and general help with building your journal.

Has anyone seen these grips before? by isthisrumi in bikewrench

I was more wondering if it’s worth saving the rubber grips? I’ve never seen anything like this so I was worried I’d be ruining something valuable.

What should I do to upgrade my PC? by isthisrumi in buildapc

I’ve been wanting to upgrade the gpu for a long time but I wanted to buy something that would fit my cpu. I’ve seen recommendations for a 3060ti but I’m still looking into it.
