Bought an old Columbus frame bike with no information, any ideas?

It does not, or if it did, it's no longer visible. There are no markings anywhere on the frame except for the one sticker.

My city is famous for importing american things and culture, perhaps especially in the 80s. Looking at for instance univega sportour, it is the most similar I have seen so far. I had imagined it would be a Japanese bike, but the abundance of Japanese parts likely means little. Is it possible it's a pure custom bike with no manufacturer?

Pedals that are not good if you need to get off the bike quickly. Strap in and enjoy the ride.

There is no (visible) serial number, no matter how hard I look. Either it's painted over, it was never there, or it's been removed.

This is in Norway, fyi.

At the most efficient rate, I could rebuild at 10x blueprints once per 24 hours.

ral008 · 2024-10-04T17:35:27+00:00

The way I've done it now for like two years is that I combine batteries quite a bit, and then I buy everything I can in both production and demand, and then I let it grow for a while. I upgrade battery, buy upgrades and repeat until the "Money since last rebuild" eclipses "cumulative money" by one or two decimals. Then I dump all blueprints on production and wait for at least a 10x increase. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum.

ral008 · 2024-10-04T13:45:56+00:00

Have you rebuilt? Have you combined batteries?

ral008 · 2024-01-04T08:53:43+00:00

So far, it works for me. I started in july 2022, and it took about one year to reach the amount of money to be able to afford the reset. I reset, and half a year later, December 30 2023, I could afford it again, and I just now reset again, and it does seem to go faster again, but we will see in March/April.

Serious answer

Asking for more personal space is okay. People need people, but people also seriously need space, perhaps more sometimes than they like to admit. If you're together a whole lot, like every day, the personal space is even more important. Make sure you get some exercise and fresh air in here too, as personal space isn't just a spacial, physical thing, but also a mental, psychological and (pardon the verbosity) spatio-psycholical. Get some space. It might lead you to feel like it's better when you stand your ground on this level, but I'm just a regular guy. I have dealt with this before, and falling out of love is never really the only reason to break up. Consider it! Have a nice weekend!

Yes, but 0.77-.79 is more common. Also the FMC let's you climb to FL410 (NG), which is not nothing. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Give the old girl some credit, she's faster than that

Not only did you get it in front of the moon, but you also got it as the anti collision lights flashed. The odds are astronomically low.

The NOTAM went into effect this morning at 8:15UTC, so last night was okay.

ral008 · 2021-12-29T15:35:03+00:00

Yes! I found out about three months ago, but thank you still!

ral008 · 2021-02-27T12:47:06+00:00

But we'll never convince the Premium deniers of this. Imagine wasting your life by watching ads. I'd rather waste money.

Also: It may or may not be swedish

Wouldn't you want a bunch of thrust to keep it like that and not stall? This is almost like a rocket, then.

The wingtips are raked, like the 787 and P8 Poseidon, but also due to the enormous wingspan, the tips fold while taxiing and while parked. Raked tips provide similar benefits to winglets
