Grey matter:

The duck, the octopus and I enjoy splendid weather:

Today I'm wearing a shirt that I messed up quite badly by not washing inside out and without soaking. It still gets some love:

Bike commuting in rather unromantic autumn weather:

Have good one!

Same shirt and chinos as this morning. Only with an additional insulation layer and my oldest denim jacket.

Still working in and on my 888S 21oz. Rolled up quite high the 21oz works astonishingly well in warmer temps.

Have a great day!

New Shirt IHSH-33t with an old pair of chinos in the 888 cut (I cannot remember the reference).

Gave these two bad boys a wash:

Do you think black shoes with a brown belt is bad taste?

21oz denim and a slingshot to protect me from the many Latvian horse flies.

Sorry for not really interacting/responding here. I’m off grid and offline most of the time.

Somewhere in Latvia

@DeeDee85 I thought exactly the same! Even though I don’t have one .

@pechelman

I love that Cowboy Bebop Shirt ️! Cool look with the lefty!

I've just started packing for our upcoming trip to Latvia:

The death of the mechanical bicycle makes me sad.

As a kid, I watched Magnum PI driving around the island in a Ferrari and dreamt of owning one. As I grew older, tastes changed to Porsche as I liked the lines of the car better. Seeing @Marc2706 posing the other day in front of his, only reinforces it. When a car from 1957 still looks 1000 times better than 99% of cars made today, you realize that maybe they are doing something right…

I absolutely see your point. Some things are just beautifully made.

I'm not a car person (I have a VW Caddy ...). However I am sympathetic with your desire for a beautiful car.

I am contemplating the idea of buying a lugged steel bicycle frame that is far too heavy and doesn't even allow for contemporary breaks. Importing such a frame from the US to Germany is economically a silly idea.

But at the end of the day it's all about beauty.

@Tago-Mago I don’t know about that. Our speed limit on the local 401 is 110km/h, everyone travels 120-130km/h ...

Yeah, but that's the point. What do you do with the other 3 gears?

I dream of buying a Rivendell bike frame one day.

Bicycle Zen, coffee and nice shorts of Seoul:
