a saddle sniff of the most recent iteration of my cantilever modded relaxed grav dad bike on a pleasant summer afternoon at the bottom of the Connecticut River. Artist: Fluisteraars Song: De Kronieken van het Verdwenen Kasteel

Love the rust and the faded bag and patina on the bar tape. You can tell that the bike gets used. It's a happy bike, not relegated to a barn gathering dust. Whenever I see a bike that I haven't ridden in a while I can sense its sadness and I feel compelled to take it for a spin.

Enjoying your videos Ron. Just a friendly tip, for your panning and close up shots, record in a higher frame rate (60fps) and then slow down in post for some ultra kerrygold-tier buttery smoothness. Just make sure to adjust your speed to 1/120 vs the 1/50 while shooting standard 24 fps. Also you should give us a day in the life vid at some point. Cheerio from dreary new england.

My first video from you and I noticed right off the bat, cool demeanor looks being great shape with some almost weightlifter quads,saddle sniffer this guy is No poser! I do have a question for anybody that can answer though my friend was given this really nice custom beach cruiser that had a bell gel seat on it. I told him I'd go over there and look over it because I like to fix bikes. I took that gel seat off and boom of Brooks saddle but it had a crack in it? Long story long, is there a way to get it repaired? I told him what it was worth if he got it fixed he's not interested so I could probably get it for free.

hello, Ronaldinho. i know this is months old. i'm wondering how you got the Paul barrel adjusters to interface with your levers? did you modify they lever in any way? or did they play together easily? i recently bought a different 600 lever model and i have some paul levers. tested one of the Paul adjusters and couldn't figure it out. perhaps i'm too much of a noob

As always, a sweet build…but tire clearance has burned me. 38’s on a 24IRD rim on a bike recommended for 35 + Michigan Gravel, which probably was gravel before the ice age but is now known as sand in other circles + rain = wall art in my case. Rondini’s steel stays and fork can probably handle a little rub Btw, Mars robusto’s are showing how robust they are…they haven’t let me down in the WI North Woods…chunky gravel forest roads, ATV trails which are really just grassy areas where there are no trees growing, single track and even all of the above with some sand mixed in…flawless

What kind of material have you found is best for shorts? I want to stop riding in lycra. What type of materials seem to work best? The cut off denim jeans for shorts seem a bit stiff to ride in or maybe I am trying to use the wrong type of jeans. I have been trying merino boxers. I just started using a brooks B17.
@ultraromance Жыл бұрын
hello there --- yeah true denim looks the best, but like anything cotton and without built in stretch, it will dry rot and tear when using long term on the bike. I like my clothes to be very form fitting, so even more so when that's the case. a few of my friends just cut up stretchy women's jeans -- in the beginning of this video I am wearing those stretchy shorts by Ripton that are kinda sports specific. they sent them to me, and I like them well enough for riding -- the stretch is really nice, and they look pretty good imo.
