    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    So I see my original post on page 1 was quietly but heavily edited/redacted whatever you want to call it. Which once again, is a form of censorship. It was WAY longer than that!😲 Remember this image? Gone. Why? I originally wrote WAY more than that. Complaining that this thread was locked...

    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    They make their own bearings: (ugh, just noticed youtube changed their desktop layout, 'orrible it is now, 'orrible, comments are all farked & appear to the right, they should stop messing with it, they already messed with community subscriptions tab and totally fucked that up) Getting back...

    Ruined? Hei Hei

    Ah, no, that weld is not as good as the original ones elsewhere on the bike.🥴

    Chris King outboard bottom bracket is alright.👍 Because it's the one part that does wear out faster than the rest. Chris King headsets though are massively over-specced on all custom builds.🙄 I really do begin to roll my eyes when I see this. No one puts any thought into what other headsets to...

    Wanted SRAM X9 front derailleur, 3x9, black, 31.8mm, top pull, high clamp.

    Does anyone know if they even made a dedicated 31.8mm, top pull, high clamp version?🤔 Or was it only ever a combination 31.8 / 34.9mm version, i.e. with a reducer?😕 I'd probably consider silver now as it seems black is very hard to get.

    Welding a GT rear swing arm pivot area RTS 3

    I concur with the other advice. You can't simply weld that. You'd need to cut the whole section out and replace.

    Is Alexa spying on you?

    Until you get arrested. There was a bloke arrested last month for... wait for it... stickers.

    Is Alexa spying on you?

    I'm sure if they said something "politically incorrect" they wouldn't hesitate to release that info.

    Is Alexa spying on you?

    I don't trust all that modern Alexa shit no. The microphone is always on, that's how it works. And your conversations can be uploaded/intercepted. No thanks.

    Bought the cheapest M1 on the net - help with ID and specs?

    I don't think you should opt for a crackle finish, no.😟 I think you should go with an original replica as previously suggested. If you ever do decide to sell it, you may find it is worth more that way.

    Worst/Funniest experiences buying used bikes?

    That's cause you don't live in a land where people descended from convicts. Personally I find negative stories more interesting to read. That's why television, entertainment, always has a plot where the cast encounters challenging scenes that they then have to overcome. If it's all roses all the...

    Worst/Funniest experiences buying used bikes?

    Sure. Selling my first road bike about 25 years ago. A shogun ultegra. Mostly aluminium bits. I think I listed it in the local classifieds newspaper ad. Because that was how you did things back then. Turned down several other offers waiting for this one dude to show up. He proceeds to shows...

    1993 GT timberline retro mod.

    Also got a few other bits. Mavic Ti skewers. Risk Ti bolts for thomson elite seatpost. The original v-brake bosses that came with the fork were horrible and they'd been painted over. Decided to get new ones. I had to put anti-seize on the threads. So they are now installed.😊
