Dang. I posted this last night and should have waited a day.

It’s what every boy and girl really wants under their Christmas tree.

Should I just start carrying a saw on the long bike?

Wemby-sized Panasonic feels @russbengtson.bsky.social coded

A Citroen C15 style “van” version of the Maverick Hybrid would be the closest we’ve come to automotive perfection.

This “lockout” fashioned out of tape and a broomstick is peak Marketplace

The voice of caution and the voice of @ryantkelly.bsky.social violently arguing in my head over this one.

Another day, another search for an obscure part that hasn’t been made for like 20 years

Strava’s being a little more encouraging than Garmin

@lchupacabra.bsky.social @latimeriidae.bsky.social whole new levels of e-bike conversion sketchiness afoot

Choice free bin pickup, genuine German made Copa Mundials in my size 👍

I assume all Lego models of Stellantis products include a guy with repair tools for realism.

Fascinating variety of cars in “Miniland” at Legoland. I believe that’s a Rover 216, an MGF, a Citroën C6, and an Audi TT.

Found $4 and some free CDs on today’s shakeout ride. That’s good luck for tomorrow’s race, right?

Happy to have the boy on a 26” wheel since now I have somewhere to use all the cool old parts from around the garage.

Found at my parents house. I used to walk around with this book all day as a kid. Sadly I don’t think they kept making new editions after the 80s and this one is a bit dated.

Every AI reviews summary is basically “it’s great, but also terrible and a good value that’s a total waste of money”

@sethrosenthal.bsky.social One from the collection, it’s a Japanese market Ford ad from 1991

@midnightdorifto.bsky.social New local Oldsmobile alert

Did the last owner bleed these brakes with baby oil?

Can’t remember the last time I saw a first generation SL

New (to me) cross bike shakeout observations: -Di2 is the truth, looking forward to racing with it -Carbon bars do not belong on my cross bike and will be removed promptly -I still find loud freehubs obnoxious

I always thought this 1987 Matchbox Mercury Sable had an oval on the tailgate because they initially planned to make it a Taurus but then I was reminded that in some markets the Taurus used the Sable front fascia with Ford badges in the back which I hadn’t even considered.

@yssman.bsky.social did you see this one?

I’m imagining someone that’s been struggling to personalize their Chevy for 20 years walking by this free pile and finding answers at last.

Apparently you can run a drive side Shimano BB cup with a NDS SRAM cup on a GXP crankset. A triumph of junk drawer engineering.

A rust free W202 in 2015?!

I thought the battery was bad but it assures me it’s not.

I hate how everything is just becoming slop

I’m not sure how up to date this book is

TIL Matchbox made cars with glowing windows in the early 80s and it somehow had nothing to do with Repo Man

@lchupacabra.bsky.social the bodge in question

Kids enjoying books rescued from my old room at my parents house. Looking forward to what Renault has in store for 1992!

My package appears to be in transit

Jonas Abrahamsen's Instagram content is incredible

What are we liking for power meters these days? The tech appears to have moved on from the SRMs and Powertaps that were out there when I was last in the market.

Didn’t expect to see an (extremely shiny) XJ40 on the dog walk loop

@midnightdorifto.bsky.social 33k miles! Absolutely somebody’s father’s Oldsmobile.

Ah yes, famous German sports car brand Porche

@russbengtson.bsky.social see this? youtu.be/f7gIBB7jKc0?...

My HRM is getting extra glitchy (232bpm max today!). Anyone find a chest strap they really like? Rechargeable would be nice too.

Taking like 5lbs off the boy’s bike with a 15 year old fork.

Alloy freehub bodies will always and forever be a dumb idea.

I am incapable of not reading this as “Geo Tracker.”

DOUBLE DIAMANTE ALERT

Seems inauspicious, but appropriate, to name it after a white whale that ends up leading to the destruction of someone trying to vanquish it.

There’s a 220D pickup on the cover of the most recent El Zar album. As far as I know these were Argentina exclusive, I wonder how many are left.

I wonder if I can get an E-mount adapter for this

The free piles are more interesting than usual today

I can’t remember the last time I saw a bubble Caprice in the wild
