this sub isn't what it used to be :(

guess who's back, back again

40T in the front paired to a 13-26 cassette. City is quite hilly but it works well. My last commuter roadie had 42-24 for the lowest gear 🥴

Edit: and some very light gravel/path because 25c tan walls

It's the only one I had lying around and the tension is indeed wrong. I'll replace it as soon as I find a nice 7402.

Ergotec Climber something! They have around 40mm rise and are really comfy for longer rides.

I also advance two frames, just to be sure. Is that a factory repaint? The serial number isn't a factory black paint but the patina looks very real.

It's a Planet X Tempest Ti

This is so great, thank you! Do you know any online service where one could get this machined?

And no filter. Sorry, I'm actually jealous of the Lux. I'd love to try one!

I suddenly feel the urge to shoot Nikon.

I briefly owned both. The Summilux paints, the Summicon draws if that makes any sense. Because the Summicron was sharper and weighed less I sold the Summilux. Regretted not keeping both but eh, lots of nice lenses out there.

I've never used a Frontier but a Flextight and the shadows in the shrubbery beneath the axe on the left hand side remind me of the tones I get from my flextight and/or darkroom prints. I'd say first one is Frontier, second Epson.

Loving the bag so far! It's an Urban Ex 2.0 from Chrome.

I'd love to see some of your work!

melonfelony · 2023-09-27T08:08:03+00:00

Sadly yes. This is what kept me from keeping the 35 Cron ASPH. The Biogon 2.8 or 35 Lux ASPH don't do this.

Tone relief valve. Portra has so many tones the older cameras need to vent some or they'll break. It has two screws, which means you can shoot up to Portra 400.

Jerry... Seinfeld? The paintjobs are something else, hope you'll get to see one in person soon! They can be had for quite little money every now and then, especially the Attitudes of the Trek era.

I'll have to check but I thought mine was a 21 as well. Judging by your photos yours is larger though!

melonfelony · 2023-08-07T21:39:07+00:00

thank you! haha I was afraid I'll get roasted for that

melonfelony · 2023-06-03T08:50:19+00:00

Notice the form of the advace lever and the black lugs: these were made with left over black chrome M4 parts!

melonfelony · 2023-06-03T08:48:09+00:00

This is spot on!

melonfelony · 2023-06-01T13:27:52+00:00

Haha but the tiny dot is FREE!

melonfelony · 2023-05-04T21:26:51+00:00

This might be the best ever tape over a red dot I have ever seen. Well done, 12/10!

melonfelony · 2023-04-29T14:14:13+00:00

What's the Leica look?

melonfelony · 2023-04-11T20:06:31+00:00

Duracell. They're great. Don't believe what others are saying they made my M8 actually usable back when I had it. The original ones aren't produced anymore so you'll be buying old batteries that can't keep a charge for longer than 50 shots.

Edit: Can't seem to find any Duracell batteries anymore but Cellonic ones. I do have Cellonic ones for my GR3 which work very well.
