When a Bianchi comes up for sale, I pay attention. I think we all have certain bike brands we mindlessly search for, “just in case” something pops up, and for me that’s Bianchi. I didn’t know much about this specific model, but a mid-00s fat-tubed aluminum Bianchi has a “high floor”, meaning it’s gonna be
The short answer to “what’s new in the watch box” for 2023: not much. In fact, the both G-SHOCK Mudmasters (the GWG-100 and GG-1000) were sold, and so was the ProTrek PRW2500-1, because when you have a GW-9400 Rangeman, you don’t need another option for trekking. I spent more time & effort during the past
With this being my first dutch bike, I enter into a world of ultimate practicality, in what seems to be at the expense of weight and user-friendliness.

Statement of John Edwards Regarding the Nomination, Rejection, and Nomination of Aidan Halpin for the 2024 Softball Leinster Committee The last time we were here, a motion of “no confidence” was submitted, and voted on, which resulted in the rejection of Aidan Halpin’s nomination for committee chair. The reasons for this motion were ridiculous: because
When a nice little bike ends up available to you, that you can save from the skip, you don’t ask too many questions. As the saying goes, “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” It needed a bit of work, but I had the tools, ability, and time — a perfect match! The guy
I barely get my head wet on the rare occasion I go swimming. What in the hell am I gonna do with a 1000m dive watch, when I rarely exceed 1m? I do love myself a good homage, and the Addiesdive MY-H6, an homage to the Halios “Puck”, is one of the best out there.
