Basically a cycling crazy guy that is not very much like a cycling crazy guy.
Riding, rebuilding, tweaking nineties mtb’s on low/no budget and having a blast!
Whatever works, whatever is available, whatever is fun 🙃

Not finished, but already SO happy with it!

The copper rivets on this Brooks saddle turned green from just hanging on the bike shed's wall. Time to put it to use, so my butt can give them a polish.

Finally got to use this star nut insertion tool. Cheap little thing from AliExpress, but works great and more than good enough for the sporadic moments that I need it.

Finally got rid of that ugly, heavy, useless suspension fork on my friend's Cannondale city beater.
Looks better, steers more precise, and saves 700gr in one fell swoop.

So stoked with my classifieds find!
Carbon tubes bonded to aluminium lugs, lightweight, nice parts, in good condition, and all for €25!
Can’t wait to give this one new life!

This 2004 postcard resurfaced today.
My parents were going on a once in a lifetime, big trip to the USA. When I heard they would also be crossing Utah, I told them how jealous I was…
The Slick Rock Trail in Moab was totally iconic for me. They sent this to tease me 😛

I bought this can of grease 35 years ago. The Fiat grease was supposedly the exact same grease as that what was sold by Campagnolo in expensive little tubes. Don't know if it's true, but it has served me and my bikes well all that time. I put the remnants in a small container today.
End of an era.

Round titanium tubes, bonded to sculpted aluminium lugs, with some knocks and scratches from its earlier adventures over the laat decades… it’s a combo I love! 😍

Went on an awesome 60 person group ride with the absolute legend Lael Wilcox. Afterwards watched the Dutch premiere of the wonderful film documenting her record setting 108 day cycling trip around the world.
Great, inspirational day with all nice and interesting people ❤️
