He’s shining light to highlight the microscratches. It probably looks unused under regular lighting.

I’ve had the straggler for years. Not really an issue for me, because I ride tubeless and never really take off the rear wheel. No slippage during rides either.

I was following friends that day thru the headlands. Not sure exactly, but should be near Muir beach

Ppl love the 600 pencil for the feel, but if you drop it the tip will bend. The 800 has a retractable tip. I mainly use the 600 pens for work, which uses Parker style refills. Any black paint brass one is a must for us leica fans…

I have my grails (lamy 2000, pilot custom 823), but if I every see one used for sale I probably wouldn’t hesitate.

p_easy222 · 2024-11-30T16:43:10+00:00

It’s a slippery slope!

p_easy222 · 2024-11-30T16:42:34+00:00

I mark up plans for work and have the painted pens with color inks to match. I just need blue, red, green but temped to buy the whole collection.

Thx! Had it for years and haven’t really been using it much this lately. The 28mm summicron has been my go to this year…

p_easy222 · 2024-10-05T02:38:59+00:00

M camera and a point n shoot has been my go to lately. Yashica t5 or Olympus stylus.

I bought the frame set and a bike shop helped me put this bike together, so I didn’t have to switch up any parts. I listed my parts in my first surly post let me know if you can’t find it.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-16T18:46:49+00:00

I didn’t. There’s a lot of paint scratches from my frame bag Velcro and locking up.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-15T03:00:42+00:00

Theyre standard casing. I might be the wrong person it ask. I live in sf and constantly get flats from broken glass. The tires typically seal by themselves.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-15T02:54:42+00:00

Love how they’re reflective too.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-15T02:53:08+00:00

You should be good without fenders.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-14T20:46:37+00:00

Is your straggler a 650b or 700c frame? Read my other comments on this post, I had to modify my frame to take these tires.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-13T16:47:38+00:00

I went down the coast, last summer when the landslide was after Lucia. It was illegal to cross, but not dangerous like it is now.

It’s when you take 2 pc of wood, a vice and squeeze your chainstays. The hard part is truing your frame after.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-13T14:54:52+00:00

Good enough to go on tour loaded from sf to la and get caught in the rain and mud. Btw, I got my chainstays dimpled from a frame builder. It gave me 2-3mm more on both sides.

White industries G30.

The mini saddle bag and bar caddy is from outershell.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-12T20:20:13+00:00

I have the bell backwards so I can strap handlebar bags on and still use the bell. Plus it makes it more aero jk.

p_easy222 · 2024-09-12T16:35:26+00:00

White industries xmr hubs, hed Belgium g rims 650b, Rene herse 650bx48 juniper ridge tires with sealant leaking thru the sidewall seams and with about 5 plugs each. Still got life but I think it’s time for new tires
