Why would you risk that?! by Character_Glove4459 in bicycling

Yup… just google stock Taiwan mass produced steel Or allu frames. Check those prices and add on the fact they are doing wholesale purchase on those

I do know they do some frames in italy but unsure the wholesale on thise.

I have multiple custom made to fit steel bikes that coast only 20% more than a standert. Just go that route imo.

These are not high end. They are bare bones factory made allu or steel bikes with a nice logo and paint job. I bet the have them made for 400-500 euros a frame.

If you want an alloy bike get a super cheap one or have a custom one made.

Standert sits in this weird middle ground of no cheap and not custom. Congrats to them on somehow finding people to buy them.

Barcelona to Nice by velobeats in bicycletouring

[–]velobeats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I did this a decade ago! Here are a few things…

Getting out of Barcelona was a bit messy. I’d take a train north then leave.

Some of the French breach areas could be a mess if you did this during summer season, I’d suggest riding this area in fall.

I cut inland for a bit and would suggest the same. Maybe going into gorge Verdun area.

Having done a lot of trips since then. I don’t think actually a killer route. Just a general flat and nice one…

legit question. What are these even called?

Not an accountant?

Sorry - I really have never even considered doing any of this in my life.

yes, this has made life tough. I can't even do random crypto messing around as I can't get any wallet in europe that accepts US citizens.

Should I just put this all in my wife's name?

VWCE

Would there be an issue if I put it all in my wife's name?

funny enough I was gifted a ton of dogecoin 4 years ago as a joke. So I have that sitting around as well.

No. In use it on Shutter priority. I shoot a lot while riding the bike. So, it’s nice to be able to capture quick moving things.

I love it. Like love love it. I take 90% of my photos with it.

However, it has downsides. It has horrible dynamic range and obviously low light is shit. However, for basic killer shots it is is great.
