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

Do you think black shoes with a brown belt is bad taste?
Hello IH-Community :),
I'd like to introduce myself very briefly here. I'm Robe (which is a cheeky reference to a Warcraft 3 item and also loosely related to the beautiful garments worn here). I joined here because I love the way you interact with each other (which is not the norm in online communication, I suppose) and I have great admiration for things well made.
For some reason I have got a thing for Japanese made stuff (Seiko watches, green tea, Murakami's novels) but also everything that ages beautifully, no matter where it comes from.
My denim journey started 2 1/2 years ago when I purchased a pair of Edwin stretch denim, which have now become my main rock climbing trousers. Bouldering is another passion of mine, but work and family life do not leave much time for that ;).
I always thought that non-stretch heavy denim would be impractical for an active lifestyle until the 888 cut proved the opposite <3. Now I wear the 888s daily with great joy.
I'm glad to be here :)!
Robe
Love these!
Have a good weekend!
This watch is probably quite well known - a Seiko SKX009 with the modest but persistent 7S26 movement. I think it's hard to argue with the design and build quality of the former 200$ watch.
The picture is unfortunately only a zoomed in still of a short video I filmed with my phone at my parent's house. At first I got really excited because I was under the impression there is a humming bird in my parent's garden, which is highly unlikely.
I did some research and found out that it is a hummingbird hawk-moth - such an incredible creature! It was floating while drinking from a blossom.
The second picture is taken from wikipedia.
Here's some info:
This is probably my only priced possession. It's the last version of the 114270 before they blew up the dimensions (and altered the proportions of this watch) with the 39mm iteration. This means it has got the venerable 3130 caliber - pure perfection, if you ask me - and the engraved rehaut. Other than that, is's a very simple tool watch in all the best sense.
To my knowledge they went back to 36mm but didn't keep the 20mm lugs that allowed for a variety of strap choices. The bracelet of the 114270 is last century watchmaking, hollow centre links but solid end links. Make of that what you will ... .
It's the watch I wear nearly every day for everything but rock climbing. It found its way to me around the time my son was born and it belonged a late friend of my father's. I like the thought that my son might wear in a few decades :).
The little one demanded a champion's breakfast today:
Home made Crêpes <3.
There's always the time in the year when I don't want to wear anything other than the GOAT:
Here are some pics of my thrashed pair of rock climbing Edwins that used to be my main pair of trousers for the last 2 years:
@JamesB Haven’t left the house without a triceratops in years as well!
Why do so many builders refuse to wear high-waist jeans?

Just found out about Grant Peterson and his "blahg", love the way he thinks about bikes and the world in general.
Right! You can even ask Giles about male nipples =). This is a cool place!
Interesting, I've never heard of Rene Horse before, seems really pricy but it might be worth the money. The gravel tyres by Panaracer look nice, but they're probably not as bombproof as the Marathon XR - however, the low weight is nice!
In general I'd like to replace the wheels of my bike this winter and I need a hub dynamo. So any suggestions for new 26" rims/wheels are very welcome. The back wheel needs to have 32 spokes due to the Rohloff Speedhub.
And yeah, and I have Magura HS33 brakes (please don't shit on them ;)), so I need rims for rim brakes.
I was thinking about these Ryde Andras.
Here's my very anachronistic 26" chromoly World Traveller:
It takes my son to kindergarten in his Thule Chariot, gets me to work every day, rides on gritty trails and smooth tarmac. I simply love riding it every day.
Can anyone recommend a tyre of the same quality as the discontinued Schwalbe Marathon XR?
@JCMx800 Beautiful! It doesn't get much better than steal <3! I've heard Standert is really hip right now. I love their "purple reign" colour.
