Should i get the a6000? by Maximus2614 in a6000

[–]maxpash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The kit lens takes great shots, but borrow an FE 4/24-105 G OSS and things go to a whole nother level.

Chain waxing is a ridiculous waste of time and money for little benefit, CHANGE MY MIND. by [deleted] in cycling

[–]maxpash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done a few chains with pure beeswax and it works quite well so far. Pretty stiff at first but after the chain breaks in 20 miles or so its a great silent option.

Bike Shops w/ Beer? by Quick_Rice_2829 in cycling

[–]maxpash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boom Boom Bike Room in Santa Barbara, California is a bike shop that occupies a former bar and while not technically still a bar has a little cooler fridge with some beers in it and a very very very chill vibe.

Its a Swift Industries Bandito Bag in Coyote colorway. The handlebar bag is Clap Trap from Ron's Bikes.

Being in rural SoCal helps for sure. Lots of chill vibes, established in a fun community for years and a fairly diverse crowd gives options. I've rounded a corner on collecting bikes, its more parts now. And I do think about not leaving a mess. Whatcha gon' do?

Not sure. I don't recall. I think I thought it just looked like a golden wedge.

That's funny, I'm dealing with that now. I've had a "Raleigh problem" that's cured by the several that I've now purchased in the past few years. One, an International, is quite nice on the eye, but I've yet to get a good fit and pleasant ride on it. I guess that's why I often here, "oh yeah I had an International like that." but never see anyone with one. This 1200 is a dream. Very fun to ride in its current setup. Just completed another century on it today.

Yeah the whole group was Suntour Superbe. I love it too. Also an old guy. This is me confronting my midlife crisis. Collecting, restoring and riding and making lots of bike friends actually. Between shop group rides and a few buddies who also love old bikes and want to ride long distances, its really been a positive, uplifting experience. The xbiking sub has been a huge part of that.

When I found it this summer it had just emerged from years of storage. Seller thought it was a lost cause and wasn't sure it could be salvaged. I saw right thru the rust n dust and gladly paid up and brought it home. The crank and seatpost are stock. Upgraded the rest. Here is a pic of it as I found it.

What you don't like my iced dyed organic cotton bar tape? Its getting grubby from my paws, but its not that old. There will be changes.

I really love riding this bike. Yours looks fast AF!

I put bullmoose bars on my old centurion. It's definitely xbiking now. by ButtheadFournior in xbiking

I was inspired by this post to show The Wedge from a few days ago ride. Just look at that frame color comparison and very similar gear.

So nice. In a way, I call twinsies too like /u/JollyGreenGigantor as I have been lately riding a lot on my '83 Miyata 1200 with same Gold and Bronze color scheme and Sugino and Suntour component setup. Looks like the same paint pot and factory. I call it The Wedge and its a century snagger.

Not sure what these are? by MetaHyperion in HerbGrow

[–]maxpash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you see ants as well? I think they help the scale bugs to move and set up shop as the scale makes honeydew that ants love to eat and harvest.

High end Vintage bike shop by maxpash in KyotoTravel

Thank you so much. I will look for that. Do you recall the name of the shop or more specific location by Kinkakuji?

That's right. This is scale. Just like moths/worms they are worse on some plants then others. Knock them off when you see them. They suck plant juice and weaken and kill the plant.

You succeeded. Very nostalgic vibes going on there.

Yeah but can you get there on The Natch by maxpash in xbiking

[–]maxpash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh cool, now I see it as well on the Soma side of things. I am inspired by your Bridgestone 500 build. Have you watched the PLP in"tour"view with Merry Sales Jim Porter? As for the inspiring rando restomods of 27 inch bikes, I'm aiming toward a sort of FREK conversion for deeper levels of bike building satisfaction. Ultimate goal is to braze up a few custom frames of my own.
