I drive by that shop at least once a week - thanks for the review - and warning - I'm sure if I went in my wallet would magically become lighter before I got back in my car.

Amen.

That looks like good cheap fun!

Wahoo Fitness Bike Pack - running Cyclemeter app. Favorite feature is it adds my rides automatically to my calendar. 2012 widget is already underway - Alfine 11-speed for my Bianchi Roger.

Only two... I ride a Yeti Ti ARC and a Bianchi Roger (I just converted to riser bars - about to get an Alfine 11-Speed hub installed). My fiancé is 4'10" - she came with a bike that fit her which is one of the reasons I've let her stick around. It's a 15+ year-old Trek 1300. I'm looking to...

2nd VW 2008 R32. It's not going off road anytime soon, but it eats highway miles comfortably, will slice & dice backroads and it's a perfect daily driver in the city. I'm looking for some 17" wheels so I can get a little more sidewall, but the front brakes are on the large size. DSG is slick...

A friend started with a piece of matt black film on his hood. We spend a lot of time out in Death Valley and it was getting EXTREMELY hot in the sun. He peeled off the black and went with a light grey also with a matt finish - seems to be a good compromise between cutting the glare and having a...

20 years later mine is still good to go. See post 170 on this thread.

Cutthroats in alpine lakes - one of summer's treats! Gorgeous fish!

Akubra Snowy River. 20+ years old. Silver Creek rainbow.

I have 2 pair of their 3/4 length pants (Boulder, Eiger) and one of their windproof jackets (don't see it on the website). The jacket lives in my car. I LOVE the 3/4 length for summer hikes - keeps the sun off the top of my knees and gives me a little more protection from scrub and I don't...

I ONLY wear wool socks except when I go to the gym and I know I'm only wearing cotton for the duration of my workout. Even then, I sometimes go with wool. Wool is an AMAZING material. For hands, head and feet it's pretty much all I use. When I read the title of the post I was thinking about my...

Long weekends in the desert or mountains - a 450 (anything under 600 will do) trail bike. Preferably plated, but I still trailer it up to camp. As tempting as exotics are, I would recommend sticking with something popular & readily available like a Honda or Yamaha MX bike with lights. I bought...

I second Gregory. I have two of their day packs - a smaller one for afternoon jaunts (or my fiance uses it) and another, larger for those days when I'm on the trail from dawn until dusk. Packs themselves are extremely light and carry load extremely well. That said, I can't speak highly enough...

OK - it's been a couple of months - we need an update. With pictures.

I've thought about building a mk4 TDI Jetta Wagon for very mild overland use. It would have to be 4motion (I'd never do another jetta/golf without it). There are TONS of parts out there when you start looking if you wanted to make this happen. There is a HUGE heavyweight OEM skidplate available...

2009 bmw f800gs More info about the bike and post about my bike over on ADVrider.com, same username here and there. March 2010 trip to Death Valley (Trona). April 2010 trip to Kernville (Lancaster).

If it did I don't know how I would keep one from following me home.

Awesome build! There's a lot of work in there, and in the time you have taken to share your project with us - thank you!
