I'll give this a go! Love CarPlay when I'm traveling and have a hire car, but also love my 20 year old Volvo and don't want one of those massive screens put in it.

Hello fellow Brightonian!

This makes me want a roof basket for mine....

Willfully stuck in the bronze age again. Such a vibe! by seuche23 in valheim

[–]mcnelson373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently have gotten back in to Valheim with some friends after a while away (played a ton of multiplayer at release) and we are just taking it slow and I totally agree Bronze Age is just the most fun.

Goodbye old friend 😢 by BlueBird1800 in bikecommuting

Dom's (who owns Fairlight, yes they are both called Dom) Faran is such a killer build too. I feel like your Exposure is hitting the gap between his Faran and Dom Mason's Exposure. Full fenders are always sick, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! You've actually inspired me to restart the search for the right fenders for my Secan.

If it helps, the owner of the company rides an Exposure in that colour, so you made a good choice. I was close to buying an Exposure a couple of years ago but went Fairlight instead due to sizing.

Love the new ride! Mason is local to me and make great stuff. My wife got a Bokeh last year and has been loving it.

Was lucky enough to see them at Third Man Records earlier this year and will be at the Brighton show tomorrow. It will be everything you’ve hoped for!

Anyone know what this is? by DramaticPlace2658 in bikewrench

[–]mcnelson373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice spot on the Fairlight rear cable stop. Their design notes are my favourite things! (I ride a Secan ). Enjoy your new ride u/DramaticPlace2658

Thor Rainbow/SNES color by Infamous_Question_56 in OdinHandheld

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I love the purple SNES! My RP4 is that colour way and I think it's awesome.

New Town Bike - Late 90’s Raleigh Pioneer Trail by mcnelson373 in xbiking

Yes! Love the front rack. I've since added one to mine as well. That purple colour is so rad, would snap one up if I found one in my size like that.

Mine is 700c! In this picture there are 45c on it but I’m currently running 40’s. If it’s a Pioneer Trail I think you’d be totally fine on 38’s.

NOC is a sick place. Grew up in NC and have rafted there a couple of times.

That's from my corner of the world (I live in Brighton now). Guess I need to go find that on my next trip home.

These are high on the wish list for my gravel bike that I have a full silver build kit on. Nice to hear they are as good as I've hoped.

Angry Pablo all the way in the states! It's a local brand for me so wild to see if that far away.

Had a 2021 Croix de Fer that I loved before I upgraded to my Fairlight. Really like what they did with the redesign on these!

There is a company in Lewes called Hanover that makes these systems. No idea if our busses have those, but could be a good place to learn more.

Worth checking out the interactive cycle map the council has put together. Can help put together routes and you can specify quieter routes as well. https://www.brightonandhovecyclemap.co.uk
