Those tires look familiar. Are they Schwalbe? I almost bought those tires for winter riding on my fixie. Have you rode on those tires in snow?ramnes wrote: ↑Just came back from a small ride in Paris streets, after three months without using my bike because I didn't have the time to repair it...

Since my Bianchi failed me again, I really felt the need to buy another bike so that I can rotate...
And that's how I just received that little beauty:
For my Bianchi, anyone knows if it's possible to buy somewhere a good pair of NIB old school 700 wheels that are light, accepts a 5 speeds cassette, can fit inside a vintage bike without extending the back of the frame, and have decent hubs?
Didn't ride in the snow as far as I can recall, but under pretty bad rains without any trouble. The brake pads suck under the rain though. I've yet to find good brakes for bad conditions.vivalarevolución wrote: ↑Those tires look familiar. Are they Schwalbe? I almost bought those tires for winter riding on my fixie.

Decided to go with these instead:

If I had the time to do that I'd have the time to build the wheel as well.derzemel wrote: ↑You will be better off if you find the parts an have a specialist build the wheels
Probably as much as having an actual bike that never gets used and is accumulating dust while stashed away in the balcony...yac wrote: ↑Does cycling on a bike with an electric motor count?
Nice bike. I try to use my bike as much as I can, in the winter it's not so practical sometimes for certain routes. Strange how I live in Europe and ride an American bike and use old American keyboards...Compgeke wrote: ↑I'm a full time bike commuter, don't own a car, got myself a used and abused 2012 Marin Ravenna dirt cheap ($300 USD) and daily it. Figured if I'm going to ride everywhere, may as well make it something nice. Only real issue is the paint on it is garbage, you can see the chipping all over the seat tube and on the other side it's chipped\cracked even worse. No frame cracking though, already verified it's just the paint.
Cool, so was that just for the picture or do you always park your bike on the desk?2ter wrote: ↑i commute to work
Nice M0116 BTW.

Amazing how you find the same bike abandoned in so many different places!Madhias wrote: ↑Recently – or the last months - cycling is my main interest beside work photography and computer stuff. Here's a picture spam of the last 3 months
BTW, does someone need a tapered carbon fork with an alloy steerer, flat mount disc brake, 12 mm through axle, lots of water bottle / cage mounts, internal routing, etc.?
A nice cross bike on trails.FXT wrote: ↑ ...
My Trek FX3 that I use to get around campus. I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to bicycles but I do enjoy riding.
Thanks. Rest assured that picture was a few feet from the gravel trail I was riding on. Had to pretty much carry the bike for the picture lol. It pretty much only sees pavement or gravel.
A foldable electric kick scooter seems to fit your bill, at around $300.codemonkeymike wrote: ↑Anyone have folding bike recommendations?

I prefer a bike because I would use it on the weekend as well, not just for commuting. I used to cycle every day until I moved to the NYC metro area were having a big bike in a walk-up is not the best thing in terms of space and usability. And yah cycling in NYC is living life on the edge, cars and pedestrians both will assert themselves into your right of way and expect you to get out of their path on your path.Menuhin wrote: ↑A foldable electric kick scooter seems to fit your bill, at around $300.codemonkeymike wrote: ↑Anyone have folding bike recommendations?

I would recommend a bicycle instead of a kick scooter if one has to walk / travel 3+ km or uphill. But this advice comes from where I live: a country with dedicated bicycle lands and more respected / carefully observed cyclist right-of-way. I know riding on the road in London or NYC can be quite a bit crazier.
They have been illegal in NYC since they came out, there is actually an interesting story behind that.__red__ wrote: ↑*cough* segway *cough*

Ok, maybe not that much...The joy is the greatest thing about getting on the bike for a ride! But lots of times after a while I also do hate it and think why am I doing this.
