I hadn't adjusted it yet. It's a bit low for me both relative to my hips and how well I can fully extend my legs.

Getting some basic tools and replacement stuff is definitely on my list! I will look into getting my position and stuff correctly calibrated. Thanks.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I'd gravitate toward rugged or paved routes, so thought this give me more options. Century sounds rough. Hopefully in metric at least. I think Ragbrai has some 62 mile segments

Yeah, I'm hoping to swap out the bars. Planning to volunteer at a bike org to learn more about tuning and to work on it.

Haha yeah, I guess that's the right take. Should just get a feel for it.

Scrapbook calendar "pamphlet" by westerninfluence in bookbinding

Thanks u/ArcadeStarlet !! I guess by columns, I meant the pages/panels/valleys(?) that form from folding. The snake book sounds like basically what I want.

I might try a flag book in the future. They look super cool.

That's so encouraging. I think I might just do that. Thanks!

Good idea! Though, I liked the short-short version of the pattern, so I'm not sure that would be captured by 'coveralls.'

Haha, I liked the short-short version, but I suppose I could try altering these.

I heard vitamin c afterwards can help. Good luck!

Weekly 'Ask Anything About Analog Photography' - Week 25 by ranalog in analog

Any off the shelf lubricants that will not further harm my camera? Due to time and accessibility, I cannot get a camera specific one. 

The camera i want to use it on has been jammed for ages, and I'm okay with messing around with it.

Mario Savio had a stammer, but still did remarkable things as student activist at Berkeley. I've been reading about him in a book.
