@nev it's a great little prototyping material, but get it only in small batches and don't expect whatever you make with it to last more than a few months.

A bit inspired by @federicomena making his own bags, a bit because the weather today is truly bad enough to avoid going out altogether, I finally put a bit of work into my Timbuk2/Brompton frame project. (cf. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgNEDlelh8D/ for details)

I neglected to take photos, but so far so good! 25mm webbing and National Molding hardware for the frame-to-bag strapping, and a double layer of blue coroplast with electrical tape on the edges to add some rigidity to the bag base.

@federicomena the air volume on a full sized tire is the one thing I miss from the bike I had before my Brompton! Alas!

The roads here are generally pretty good, but my specific commute route takes me through a construction area. Staples, screws, glass shards, everything. So I'm running Marathon Plus tires. Clunky, but invincible: no punctures!

Self made bags *absolutely* count! What have you made?? Got any photos? I'd love to see them!

Hey #mastobikes, is there such thing as a CO₂ inflator with a manometer built in? (And a regulator too, I guess, since it wouldn't be terribly useful to be able to see your pressure but not do anything to hit a specific target.)

Cuddly cat this week.

Yield: just under 2L?

@stsp congratulations!!

@federicomena oh gosh, it's a whole project:https://mastodon.social/web/statuses/99780791352217252

With any luck the production run of the vostok.bike titanium forks should ship out in a week or so and I'll be able to install the front disc wheel, rotor, and caliper too!

Creamy microfoam, rich and almost buttery coffee flavour. Muted top and bottom notes. Comfort coffee.

Deep sweetness, like molasses or brown sugar; only a very mild floral/fruit accompaniment. Creamy, slightly chocolatey, roast flavours only hinted at. Absolutely delicious.
