    Cottered Cranks...

    Hey guys... I'm having a bit of trouble fixing my bikes cranks... They're cottered cranks so I guess a little bit of trouble comes with the territory but come on... Here's the deal... I didn't check the cranks out before I took them out and worked on them, but what I could see was that the...

    TBA [Out of ideas, to be honest]

    Hey guys, long time... Well, here's the story... Last January I saw an old racer bikes frame for sale for 10€... Sounds great, but the little bugger was over 100kms away... And it looked like it had seen way too much... Still, I was never known for making the most rational decisions ever, so I...

    A quick tour of Braga - Portugal

    I went for a spin round town this afternoon and thought it'd be a good time to take a few shots of some of the places I actually spend some time near by :D Our (really) small cycle path hehe (bout 2 miles worth) Somehow they decided it would be a good call to build it on one of the least...
