The combination here is the cool part. Snow + fatbike + Chariot + ski kit + baby bunting = Winter sanity

My recycled cassette bottle opener is pretty sick. Got it from someone here on BF who was making them a while ago, though I can't remember who now. Shout out if it's you!

You gonna eat that?
Same here, but probably for a different reason. The one I'm thinking of is my 1966 Raleigh 3-speed that weighs 50 lb., but rolls like a Cadillac. Great bike to train on, makes everything else easy.

I remember the Rambo Trailhead...had to get a picture of that sign. The hot sun didn't make me feel like Rambo and I left my big knife at home!

It does look like the Pumkinvine trestle. They might have cut the greenery back.
I have ridden past that Rambo Nursery sign so many times that I can visualize every bump and crack in the pavement in that spot.
Hillbillies fit right in over here. Y'all come back and let me know when all y'all are coming.

I have a few NOS Campagnolo C-Record parts that are pretty cool.
I like these best.

An old Rollfast foldup brochure, same thing for New Departure and a genuine 1955 bicycle magazine ad I framed for Rollfast lightweights.
AND my Rollfast T-shirt I bought on eBay.

Cool in what way?
I think the Propel is altogether a pretty cool bike, it's got cool wheels and cool components, but if I had to narrow it down to one thing about it was the coolest, I'd say the frame.
But then there's the Vigorelli: a ridiculous bike now. It started out kinda cool in the proper way, but now it's cool only to me, I think. I dig the deep, narrow track bars and the shiny toe clips, but now it has hoods on it, too, and a bar mounted bottle cage. And lights sometimes, too, like last weekend. Perverse, but super cool in its insouciance now.

Old wood tubular rims, Campy Delta brakes - lots of old Campy stuff. Raleigh 753 Team from Joop's stable that I stupidly painted. Ibis Ti stem I gave my girlfriend now my wife in 1992. Old Modolo delta brakes.
Modern:
Extralite stem
Francois made for my kid silk tires
One piece alloy freewheel
Ritchey SoloStream bar/stem
I'm into this for the stuff.

I have the side-pulls and the Kronos levers down in the garage. These happen to be on my desk. The little black thing in front of the track hub is a Bluetooth lactic acid level monitor. The phone is a Meego OS. The left Solenoid was my a project for the B2 in 1986, the right solenoid for the Hellfire missile off topic except both tested with bike parts.
