Relaxing watch
 
I find this as relaxing to watch as it is to build the bike yourself (sorry about the adds). Warning it takes 15 minutes.

just one movie per day ;-)

Right, much more interesting!

Assembling a bike would be a challenge if someone first disassembled
absolutely every component that could be take apart and threw all the
bits in a bucket. Derailleur, brakes, cranks, hubs, etc. (OK, I'd skip
the chain.)

That would be a fitting puzzle for a Real Cyclist (TM).


For those who want a real bicycle...

Hokay, that's what I do, except I build my own wheels. Again, and
again, and again. I really need to *stop* assembling bikes!

And mostly deserved bashing. http://coastcycles.nyc/#intro Repro bikes bringing back the worst of the good old days. Who shellacs bar tape? And what's the fascination with cantis?

They didn't noticed that the world has moved on since the seventies last century. Canti's on a new custom bike? Fenders $1000?? WTF? Do you have to have a weird haircut and ungly tattoos to be a custom bike builder in Brooklyn?

You sounds like a guy who walks into an art museum and says "What??
They're still using PAINT?? They're still hanging things on walls? Why
isn't this stuff all digital?"

Like it or not, art (AKA personal taste) influences bicycle design. And
as with modern houses (some built with Victorian, or farmhouse, or Arts
& Crafts era elements) there are people who prefer aesthetic elements
from earlier times. Ditto for cars, clothing, music, furnishings,
landscaping, etc.

Who shellacs bar tape? And what's the fascination with cantis?


I don't get shellac on bar tape. But cantis function very well. What's
the fascination with bashing them?
