My new Century - Double Century machine. A bit heavy at 21.7 pounds as pictured with CX rubber but buttery smooth.
Just took my bike to the lake for a nice little 100 mile ride. I just looked through this whole thread and am super jealous of the steel 650 dyno hub yadda yadda bikes. I'd love to build one up some day, but for right now this is what I'm rolling with. The frame pack works great for a sandwich, apple, windbreaker, extra gloves and balaclava. My repair kit and spare tubular are in my jersey pocket. I do have to say riding tubulars was a great choice as far as ride quality IMO.
I've also done a century in this but will definitely not do that again.
my new long distance adventure bike:
in summer 2014 i think i did 4 or 5 centuries on this... most of them were accidental (meaning i didn't leave for the ride expecting to hit/pass 100 miles):
in 2013 i did a double century (STP) and some normal centuries on this:

Oh my. That SOMA, she's a beauty.

State of my Indy Fab Ti Club Racer, built in 2006 when I was prepping for BMB. Its seen lots of dirt roads, and rides up to 400k. And some camping and exploring.
Recently swapped out the 'long reach' Shimanos for Paul Racer Mediums. I can now fit some larger tires under fenders.
And after breaking my 3rd rear Honjo I'm trying the PDW Full Metal Fenders.
Took it out for a shakedown today to test the USBWerk powering the GoPro.
To do - mount up the wired tailight (Secula+ (for post / stay mounting)), make a light bracket that will fit a Paul Rack Adapter bolt for the eDeluxe, and get something larger than Conti 28s or Pasela 28s to ride on. Likely the Clement USH or the new Compass tires in a 30 or 32. And figure out mounting / wiring for the USBWerk, and play with either my Ortlieb HBar Bag or the Jannd Mountain2 front bag. I also have a Revelate Tangle that will hold a 70oz bladder, with hose setup for longer rides.

So long. Been nice knowing you BF.... to all the friends I've made here and in real life... its been great. But this place needs an enema.
Started riding about 4 YO. Rode my first century on a Trek 1.2, three years ago. Got a Surly LHT 2 YO, and have several loaded centuries on it. Purchased a Specialized Roubaix 2-3 months ago. No centuries yet, but looking at attempting a double century this summer.
My fresh updated titanium disc frenchie randonneur. I have been knocked by a driver one month ago, so front wheel and titanium disc fork were out of order. I also had Gilles Berthoud chrome fenders, the front one was also dead. So I bought a new full carbon disc fork, changed the front rim (H+SON Archetype in black) and remade the spoke lacing on the front hub (which was just new and safe, a White Industries MI6 disc). I also installed fresh new PDW matt grey fenders. They are less bling bling than Berthoud ones, but I finally prefer their look.
So here is my randonneur in action

Lately I've been using my soma doublecross for long distance duty. Not the lightest bike (Reynolds 631 main triangle) and not the lightest wheels (700 x32 tires, mavic A719 rims and Deore XT hubs) but it's comfy regardless of the road surface and I really like the gearing (48-36-26 sugino triple and 12-26 9 spd cassette on the rear). I've been doing a half century once a week on the bike and I'm looking forward to doing some longer rides soon:

This is my latest love. Soma Grand Randonneur with Campa Veloce front and rear, and a lot of Velo Orange parts. SP PV-8 dynohub, Velo Orange Grand Cru rear hub, Selle Anatomica saddle, Gilles Berthoud front bag.
In this picture she's dusty and dirty after 100K on questionable roads. Last Friday I rode 245K and everything seems to work just fine. Next weekend it's time for Vätternrundan, 300K.
That is a pretty bicycle. Well done.
So long. Been nice knowing you BF.... to all the friends I've made here and in real life... its been great. But this place needs an enema.

Did my first (and so far only) century on a Ridley X-fire, just with some road tyres on it.
I've ridden more centuries on this bike than any other:
But my latest century (2 weeks ago) was on this one:
Hello how are you. This is my bike you think is okay for century? The most i have do is 40 miles and that is was around 2 years ago. Now i want do century. What is the best crank size and cassete size for century. this is my bike what you think. Is has 9 speed cassete20140720_132057.jpg
Is the saddle comfortable for long rides? If it's a narrow racing saddle, and you find it uncomfortable after a couple hours, a wider saddle might be better.
Are the handlebars comfortable for long rides?
Is the riding position comfortable for long rides? If you're too stretched out, it might help to raise the bars.
Is the gearing appropriate to the terrain? Keep in mind that you'll be more tired at the end of a century than at the beginning. It doesn't help to know that you have a 9-speed cassette without knowing the largest and smallest cog. A strong rider could do a hilly century with an 11-23 cassette and a 39/53 crankset, but I wouldn't recommend it. My current long-distance bike has a 13-30 cassette and 28/44 chainrings, which gives me a low gear of about 25 inches. I really appreciate that when I'm climbing a 10% grade at the end of a long day. The top gear is only 88 inches, but at a cadence of 100, that's 26 mph (42 km/h); if I am going downhill any faster than that, I coast to save energy for the next climb.
I'd advise going out for some longer rides on the same kind of terrain as the century you're doing. If you can work up to 50 miles without feeling too tired or sore afterwards, then the bike is probably fine for a century. If not, change the gearing and fit as needed.
What size crank and cassete you have in your bike. What you think about my bike20140720_132057.jpg
Did 112 miles yesterday in nine hours. Eight hours actually on the bike and half an hour of that I spent stopped at red lights and trail crossings. Such is life in Chicagoland. The route took me from my apartment in the UIC area up to the Illinois-Wisconsin border and back.
Bike is a 2014 Surly Pacer. It's mostly stock; my wife gave me the Cambium for my birthday, and I threw on a 46t chainring so I could actually use the big ring. Top picture is from yesterday, the bottom one is from a gorgeous April day on the lakefront.
2 centuries on this SS steel 3G cruiser and too numerous to count 50-80 milers. Love this bike.

Now that's pretty cool. We should get you together with the carbon headset spacer crowd. I'm assuming some kind of explosion results...

text: 000 FXUS63 KGRB 230825 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 325 AM CDT MON MAY 23 2016 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Tuesday Issued at 325 AM CDT Mon May 23 2016 Most locations will start out sunny today with dry warm conditions. Some mid to high level clouds may spill over the western two thirds of the state today as a frontal system extending over the northern and central plains approaches. Progs have been consistent with holding off the precipitation overall until tonight. Reaching Central and North Central Wisconsin this evening and then Eastern Wisconsin well after midnight. Precipitation primarily along and ahead of the 850 trough swinging through. The 850 boundary weakens overnight and will also be encountering the initially dry air mass while tracking eastward...so will keep pcpn chances on the lower side over Eastern Wisconsin late tonight and then chance cat for Tuesday. Upper heights rise later Tuesday to the west to diminish or end the precipitation over at least North Central Wisconsin earlier in the day. Some timing issues with respect to this 850 trough and surface front show up with the latest nam run the slowest. Blend of the rest of model runs trend toward a progressive end to the convection from northwest to southeast during the afternoon. As far as strength of storms tonight into Tuesday, the main portion of the llj works into the northwest part of the state this evening and it is possible a few near severe storms could work into North Central Wisconsin this evening. SPC marginal risk of severe storms appears reasonable this evening. The llj weakens overnight and then is working with marginal instability overnight into tuesday morning. The gfs does produce 1000 j/kg capes for tuesday afternoon over eastern wisconsin. The NAM and SREF produce values half of the gfs readings. .LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Sunday Issued at 325 AM CDT Mon May 23 2016 Upper level flow is expected to become southwest by the start of the long term forecast, resulting in a rather warm and wet pattern that is expected to last through the weekend. Timing of the precipitation chances depends on timing of short waves in the upper flow, and the location of a frontal boundary that will move into Wisconsin tonight/Tuesday. 00z models suggested a lull in the precipitation for Tuesday night with weak surface and upper level ridging across the area, so kept both POPS and QPF relatively low for that period. There is a better chance for showers and storms on Wednesday as an upper level short wave moves into Wisconsin. Confidence in timing of precipitation was on the low side, even for the early couple of periods, and it decreases throughout the latter half of the week and weekend. Have left the blended model solution along for the rest of the forecast for that reason. Unfortunately this also results in a chance for showers and storms through the end of the forecast. High temperatures should be at or above normal through the end of the forecast. Overnight lows will be considerably warmer than normal. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1153 PM CDT Sun May 22 2016 Vfr conditions to continue through Monday evening. Low level wind shear expected overnight over central and northern wisconsin with a southerly low level jet of 30 to 35 knots around 700 feet agl. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 325 AM CDT Mon May 23 2016 One more dry day today with warm temperatures. Gusty south winds combined with the warm temperatures and low afternoon relative humidity will produce critical fire weather conditions through 8 pm. Headlines already in effect for today. Increasing dewpoints with showers and storms tonight into Tuesday will remove the critical conditions. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Looking for old A/C Grill
I have a 1983-1989 Carrier Wall A/C unit that is missing the front bottom grill. Does anybody know where I can buy this. The A/C works awesome and I'd hate to have to replace it.
No way that you can get this part unless you find another used one on the net. If ya really want to keep the unit, take the measurements and specifications of what you need and get a local sheet metal outfit to custom build it for you.

Edit Article
How to Have a Catching Fire Themed Party
Are you in love with the Hunger Games, or maybe your daughter is? Here are some party ideas for you or your daughter.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Invites. If this is going to be a party for your daughter then find out if their mom would be okay with their daughter seeing the movie. Catch the midnight showing or one before the girls leave. If their mom says yes, find out which showing would be okay with them. midnight or one before they leave. And if their mom says no then no biggie just have a sleepover and make it fun and exiting!
2Cards. The cards should include information like: dinner, the movie time/showing, and what the girls will need. If their mom says yes to the showing then it's obvious the girls will need to sleep over unless it's the showing before they leave. One thing you can do is make "maps" of the "arena": cut a paper into a leaf shape and colored it lightly green then draw what the arena is supposed to look like and put them in the cards. For sending make sure to send them early if you think they can go to the movie because tickets sell very very fast.
3Now there are many ways to setup your home, here are just a few tips.
- Front yard: Get balloons in red, black, and white (just a few white).
- House: Decorate the house with balloons (same colors) and just make the food area fancy like the capitol
- Backyard: In the backyard make a "Training Center". Have a "bow and arrow" center (not real arrows and bows) and have an adult standing there to make sure the girls don't get hurt. Make a knot tying station, camouflage station, and some other fun and safe stations
- Garage: This will be a "secret place" for the girls kinda like a "rebel hideout". This will just be a fun place for the girls to talk and have fun being "rebels"!
- Food: Main Course: Peeta's biscuits, Haymitch's mashed potatoes, The Capitol's Lamb Cops, Katniss's comfort crisp (all these foods can be found on YouTube)
- Dessert: cupcakes, ice-cream, cookies with flower designs on them
- Extra foods: rolls, peas, butter, various cheeses, blue grapes, and pita chips (not like Peeta Mellark)
- Drinks: Orange juice,tea, milk, soda, hot chocolate, and water
4Bedtime: If you go to the midnight showing then your girls might be tired or so excited because the movie was great! But it might be a little after 3am so they need to go to bed. The girls should sleep in your daughter's room, or wherever you would like them to be.
5Morning: have a breakfast like the Capitol, so have almost whatever they could think of for breakfast like: pancakes, various cheeses, grapes, watermelon, pineapple, apples, donuts, bagels, cereal, waffles, toast, and strawberries. For drinks: Water, milk, orange juice, and naked juice. So if you couldn't go to the midnight showing then you go to the earliest one in the morning (if it was okay with their moms and all of them have to be on board with the movie).
6Extras: if you go to the midnight showing, watch The Hunger Games movie before you leave (you might need to have someone wait in line for you). If you don't have anyone to wait in line for you at the midnight showing then you should go to the showing in the morning!

Morris Watts
Phone: 989-774-3896
Morris Watts joined the Central Michigan staff in 2011 and has made a significant impact on the Chippewas' offense as the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and was recently named the offensive coordinator.
The 2014 season saw the continued emergence of Watts protégé Cooper Rush as one of the top quarterbacks in the Mid-American Conference. Rush, now a junior, started all 13 of the Chippewas' games in 2014, completing 63.6 percent of his passes for 3,157 yards and 27 touchdowns against 13 interceptions. The 27 TD passes tie for the second most in a single season in CMU history.
Rush ranked third in the MAC in pass efficiency (149.6), fourth in passing yards per game (242.8), fifth in total offense per game (238.9). He enters his junior season third in CMU history with 42 career TD passes, fifth in career passing yardage (5,506), and seventh in career pass completions (420).
Rush tossed an FBS bowl-game record seven touchdown passes in CMU's 49-48 loss to Western Kentucky in the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, leading a furious fourth-quarter rally that saw CMU score five touchdowns in an 11-minute span. Rush finished with a CMU-record 493 yards passing in the contest.
The CMU offense in 2014 averaged 398.1 yards and 22.2 first downs per game, ranking seventh and fourth, respectively, in the MAC.
In 2012, Watts mentored quarterback Ryan Radcliff to an outstanding senior season at CMU as he threw for 3,158 yards, marking the third consecutive season that he had surpassed the 3,000-yard milestone, and tossed 23 TD passes against just nine interceptions.
In his final game as a Chippewa, Radcliff earned the MVP award in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl as he threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns in the 24-21 win over Western Kentucky.
In 2011, Radcliff, under Watts' tutelage, posted one of the top passing seasons in school history, completing 257 passes for 3,286 yards and 25 touchdowns. All three of those totals rank among the top five for a single season in Chippewa lore. Radcliff posted five 300-yard games in 2011, including a career-best 436-yard performance on 30-of-45 passing at Ball State on Oct. 22. The 436 yard total ranks as the fourth-most in CMU history.
In eight Mid-American Conference games, Radcliff threw for a league-high 2,491 yards (311.4 per game) and tied for the MAC lead with 19 TD passes. He threw two or more touchdown passes in seven of the season's final eight games.
Watts is a 45-year veteran of collegiate and professional coaching who has coached in 15 bowl games.
The 2015 season will be Watts' 52nd overall in coaching. He has 42 years of experience at the college level, three at the professional level, and six at the high school level. Watts has the most college and pro experience of any current NCAA FBS coach.
Watts came to CMU from Miami (Ohio), where as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach he helped lead the RedHawks to the MAC championship and a victory in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in 2010.

Media Release: Park Rangers take to the water
Date: 2003-08-21
NOT content with confining their conservation duties to land, 15 rangers from the Cape Peninsula National Park (CPNP) have taken the plunge and are now training to skipper small craft on sea.
"The waters around Cape Point will soon be declared a marine park, so it seemed logical to start preparing ourselves for this new territory," says Justin Buchmann, CPNP section ranger.
Justin and his colleagues are taking lessons from seasoned skipper, Geoff Hawkins of Scarborough, who is provincial safety officer for the Western Province Deep Sea Angling Association and an authorised agent of the SA Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA).
His training vessel, a 4,5 meter long ski-boat equipped with two 30 hp Yamaha motors, can accommodate a training officer and two trainees. The boat was donated by Magson Marine of the Strand for the sole purpose of SAMSA safety and skipper training.
To qualify for the SAMSA approved skipper's licence, each ranger needs to supplement theory with 50 hours of practical experience on the sea and learning how to handle the boat thoroughly in sea conditions.
"I'm happy to provide free training to the CPNP rangers as they will be playing an important role in promoting the safety of small craft around Cape Point," says Hawkins.
Anyone interested in sponsoring petrol and oil for the training courses, can contact Geoff Hawkins on (021) 780-1201.

Recently, there have been several submissions to the group that have violated DeviantARTs terms of use in regards to pornographic content.
The terms in question are these:
This is DeviantARTs definition of what it considers pornography, and as such is banned
FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic imagery'; what do you consider this to be?
And the above also applies to Written works as well, so explicit 'sexy' fanfics are also covered
FAQ #251: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic literature'; what do you consider this to be?
Any submissions found violating these rules will have their submissions denied, and while I cannot speak for the rest of the staff, I also report them to DevART staff.
We do allow adult oriented material, provided that it abides by DeviantART terms of use, and I do understand that some times things slip through the cracks and things are accepted that shouldn't. That being said I'm going to go through the Mature Folder and see whats what and confer with the rest of the staff if anything is in violation of the group/site rules.
Please keep this in mind for your future submissions, thank you.

I am going to college this fall and I will be buying a new laptop for college. What laptop is best? I am particularly looking for one with a lot of memory, good wireless internet and (hopefully) less than $1,000.
The $1,000 price range is flexible but not by much.
Any help/comparisons between laptops you can recommend will be helpful.

- How do I replace molding around window
How do I replace molding around window
Hello- this is such a simple and probably easy project to do but I have never done carpentry before. My dog chewed up the molding around a window. I want to replace the molding with new one but am not sure what tools or what steps I need to take. Are there special tools I need? I tried to pry the bottom piece off but the entire window frame was coming off. I would appreciate your advice.

This could get involved but I need to know what parts exactly need to be replaced. Casings, stool cap (what you would call the sill), the apron or whatever. If you think that the whole thing needs replacement then let me know and I'll walk you through the process....MJH
Luckely it isn't any of these. It's just the trim around the window. I don't know to much about window parts but it is the last thing put around the window- 4 pieces of trim joined at each corner with mitre cuts. I only have to change one of the pieces. Same trim that is around our doors. Hope I am explaining myself ok.
It's most likely glued & nailed in from the sides as well (or down from the top)
Glue the joints and use at least a 1 1/2 finishing nail on the outside of the casing and a 1" on the inside into the window frame (jamb). To finish it up use tub & tile to fill any voids if it's paint grade.
Hit the finishing nails through the casing with a nail set. Then use a razor knife and score the mitres to break the glue seal.
Take the existing piece and with the razor knife again copy the 45's onto the new casing and cut it with a back saw. (Little trick... cut on a slight back angle to perpendicular)
Glue the joints and use at least a 1 1/2 finishing nail on the outside of the casing and a 1" on the inside into the window frame (jamb). To finish it up use tub & tile to fill any voids if it's paint grade.
..tub and tile is caulking in a tube rather then having to buy a caulking gun by the way.

We live in a double-wide mobile home. I want to paint our bathroom and kitchen cabinets to have the look of old barn wood. They are some sort of laminate, so I know I will need to prime them first, but where do I go from there?
How do you paint to look like old barn wood?
You might find this post on whitewashing by Storywood Designs helpful: http://www.hometalk.com/710602/using-liming-w...
It depends on the result you want. My old kitchen cabinets were a mix of wood, plywood and particle board. I painted all of them bright red then antiqued with a black glaze. I loved the look! Now we're in our newer home and I miss my red kitchen.

The Response of Business Fixed Investment to Changes in Energy Prices: A Test of Some Hypotheses about the Transmission of Energy Price Shocks
Citation Information: The B.E. Journal of Macroeconomics. Volume 7, Issue 1, ISSN (Online) 1935-1690, DOI: 10.2202/1935-1690.1607, November 2007
Publication History
- Published Online:
- 2007-11-07
Changes in firms' investment expenditures are considered one of the primary channels through which energy price shocks are transmitted to the economy. It is widely believed that the response of business fixed investment to energy price increases differs from its response to energy price decreases. We show that the apparent symmetry in the estimated responses of business fixed investment in equipment and structures cannot be reconciled with standard theoretical explanations of asymmetric responses. Rather this evidence is an artifact (1) of the aggregation of mining-related expenditures by the oil, natural gas, and coal mining industry and all other expenditures, and (2) of ignoring an exogenous shift in investment caused by the 1986 Tax Reform Act. After controlling for these factors, formal statistical tests are unable to reject the hypothesis of symmetric responses to energy price shocks for all components of investment in structures. For nonresidential equipment there is weak statistical evidence of classical asymmetries in some components, but not in the aggregate. Once symmetry is imposed and mining-related expenditures are excluded, the estimated response of business fixed investment in equipment and structures tends to be small and statistically insignificant. Historical decompositions show that energy price shocks have played a minor role in driving fluctuations in nonresidential fixed investment other than investment in mining.
Keywords: oil price shocks; nonresidential fixed investment; structures; equipment; asymmetric responses

Quick Pick: 'Band of Brothers'
Published: Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 16, 2014 at 6:22 p.m.
Willie Nelson has written a song — sometimes two, three or four — for every occasion, mood and moment. There's Wistful Willie. Defiant Willie. Repentant Willie. Randy Willie. Preacher Willie. Populist Willie. Whimsical Willie. Vengeful Willie.
Nelson the songwriter returns in all his wonderful guises on the first album of mostly new material he penned himself since 1996's "Spirit," the best album of the latter half of his 60-year career. Nelson wrote nine of the 14 songs on "Band of Brothers" with album producer Buddy Cannon, and each song is a perfect projection of its writer's best qualities.
They're comfortable, familiar, well-worn, but also new and different.
Nelson is 81 now, and the new songs make allowances for this. His defiant moments sound a little more world-weary, his regrets a bit more painful. But his sense of humor and philosopher's personality remain undiminished.
"Band of Brothers" opens with Defiant Willie staring down the storm on "Bring It On." Wistful Willie lets the "Guitar in the Corner" play him, Repentant Willie hits "The Wall," and Randy Willie leads us through a tall tale of all his "Wives and Girlfriends," "but may they never meet/may they never know each other when they pass on the street."
Populist Willie provides the title track, a beautiful display of the sentiment that has made Nelson incongruously both an outlaw and a figure beloved by all. "We're a band of brothers and sisters and whatever/On a mission to break all the rules."
Nelson positions that song between a pair of Billy Joe Shaver covers — "The Git Go," featuring Jamey Johnson, and "It's Hard to Be an Outlaw" — and this outlaw triptych serves as a powerful reminder of why we've loved Nelson all these years.

A life of panhandling on the streets of Denver is brutal, boring and soul-crushing. Many of those who do it are long-time substance abusers, caught in a vicious cycle: You wouldn't stand out there 12 hours a day unless you desperately needed heroin, and then only another dose of heroin would get you through another 12 hours. Denver Post Photographer Joe Amon walked the streets with Angel, Alice, Iris, Amanda and others in the spring and summer of 2012, witnessing the lives of homeless addicts and the challenges of dealing with the drug problem.

Any one have or tried one of these?
Any one have or tried one of these?
apparently it was launched sep 11 2007. this is the article. but can't find the cost of owning one.
^ Probably in the overpriced side of things...
Kudos to MB for developping stuff like this.
It is a "one touch folding" (I guess?).
It is full suspended.
Considering the size of an average MB car trunk that thing fold small enough to fit into the trunk easely.
Man does that look good.
Internal Gear Hub Guru
Currently owned hubs: Sachs Pentasport, SRAM P5 Drum, Sturmey SRF5-W , Sturmey XRD3
Previously owned hubs: Shimano Nexus 8 speed, Sturmey AW 3 speed, Shimano 3 speed coaster, SRAM S7 Drum, Sturmey XRF8 8 speed
Tested hubs: SRAM i-Motion 9 speed, Sturmey XRD5
To me the gearing looks low.
And the phrase "discerning buyers" annoys me to bits. I suppose us who buy anything from Flying Pigeons to Moultons are just the local rabble who don't appreciate stuff that "discerning buyers" would carefully choose to waste their blooming executive payouts in the midst of the economic woe on.
My folding bike photo essays www.dekter.net/
Though not a strict rule, more often than not any bicycle with a car brand for a name is usually a dud.
BTW, did you know that Ducati started out as a bicycle maker not motorcycles? At my LBS there is a nice shiny red Ducati roadie....with chrome bar tape, I wonder what it's like?
bikes with cars were born out of a necessity ...... at the time some 10/20 years ago the law in Germany and oyjer European countries were not allowing car dealers to give any discount more than 3 % of the value of the car( usually these discounts were mad e up in parts for the car) ...... In the 60 that worked out to be a pair of mats or maybe a free radio ...in the nineties every car had a radio and the mats overpriced as they can be never made it to that 3 % hurdle.....
SO some car companies " invented" bikes to give away with a car to close the deal ..... Porsche Mercedes BMW and many others ....
Usually these bikes are not worth the money they were supoosed to fetch on the open market , as they were in the 3 % range of the car compnies most sold vehicle , rather than what they were worth at a bike dealer .....
The R D for these bikes was never done by Car company people ( even if they tell you so ) The RD was always done by a bike compmapany or somebody like Leitner ( ATK fame , Horst Link) who designed the first Merceds folders ( which were modified AMP bikes and rather nice)
Today all the laws about discount are gone ( European union) and the bikes are just meandering along as being a huge pain in the butt for the car dealers.... who usually really hate them ..
still no price. anyone has an idea on how much this will cost ? i assume since it was built by mb, it will be in the vicinity of 2k.....
So only available in Europe and only with the car?
Scroll down to "The Topeak Jango 'Multi-Mobility bike'"
This bike came free with a new Merc car during a promotion a few years ago. I don't know if its buyable otherwise. It is not the best folding shape I have ever seen. Form over function? if its got discs brakes it must be good sort of thinking?
Looks like the sort of item one owns, rather than uses.
Last edited by bhkyte; 03-28-09 at 09:10 AM.
Yeah, looks like a bike made by Jango with a Merc badge... either that or a Merc instigated design project, produced by and licensed to Jango. I wonder what the inside story is? Or then again maybe there is none... could be just another one of those automotive-branded merchandise items.
Good spotting MilesH
I doubt that Mercedes had much to do with the design. They probably just commissioned it from ADP. I guess there was then a deal to allow Topeak/Jango to license the design.
LIke to see a review? and prices
I dont know if it was always given for free with the car. that was at the discretion of the dealer.... I think anyhow.. they were supposed to actively sell them as well..... albeit for horrendeous prices usually ...
Another Mercedes Bike Story
way back ..too long to count the years..... Bike Trade SHow in Philadelpia .. next door neighbor was selling Mercedes bikes ( the cheapest and most laugable MTB around,, hideous... I still cannot see that Mercedes ever allowed to use their name ..... )
Anyhow after the first night ALL bikes were stolen from the MErceds booth .I mean ALL of them .... while right next door there were custom one off from Bilenky and a couple other real cool bikes still standing in their booths.....
I can see the bikes on the streetcorner .. look man I got a Merzedeees Benz..... ...
It was somewhat funny, except for the folks who were trying to sell them at the show.....
It's priced at 1,600 euros which is approx U$2,225 according to latest conversion rates.

We've all been there. All diets work for a while, but 83 percent of dieters gain it all back, and then some. At first, you're able to stick with it and you feel great, but soon the restrictions involved start to cause you stress and the cravings become overwhelming. You have a little bite of your favorite dessert. It won't hurt, just a little piece. It tastes wonderful, and all the strict discipline that you've suffered through is tossed out the window. You eat and eat until you feel physically awful, emotionally you feel guilty, and mentally you feel like a failure.
Like a rubberband, the more time that passes and the further along you go in your restrictive controlled diet, the stronger the stress, tension, and cravings become like a time bomb waiting to explode. You end up gaining more weight than when you started. You have no discipline, no control, maybe it's time to give up… Maybe you just weren't meant to be thin.
Whether you are a yo-yo dieter or just ready to make a change, let Thinner Journey™ be your guide as you learn the simple keys to a system that has been proven over 90% effective!
"In the twenty years of being overweight I have probably lost and regained 200 pounds. Trying every diet on the market and going to different doctors to the point that I believed that losing weight was impossible. That was until fate dealt me a winning card and that card was Thinner Journey.
The advances made by myself and others in three short days under Alfonso's guidance were extraordinary. The whole weekend was nothing less than a total surrender and understanding of the possibilities that exist in each of us… in each of our hearts… our emotions. I have lost 43 pounds! I love my food I chew slowly so that I will fully taste every bite. To keep me on track, I go to sleep at night listening to the CDs that Alfonso has made. Thank you with all my heart, Alfonso." – Ann Westberry ~ Dallas, TX

"My name is Vicki Sara Blumberg and I am a physician in Connecticut specializing in internal medicine. I have been devoted to treating obesity in my own practice for over 20 years and I am always looking for ways to enhance my abilities. I will state with the utmost humility that to call Alfonso De Rose an "inspirational speaker" is like calling Mozart a "songwriter" or Leonardo Da Vinci a "painter." Alfonso De Rose is a genius in the art of personal insight; a soulmate to the suffering and indeed, a healer. His methods for treating the present global eating disorder crisis is not only unique, but foolproof for everyone, if embraced with the passion, intelligence and devotion with which he presents his powerful yet simple strategy.
After spending a weekend attending Alfonso De Rose's seminar I feel irreversibly transformed! Under his tutelage I became the person I have always wanted to be, and (he helped me to realize), must always have been. The depth of my gratitude to Alfonso is inexpressible and my devotion to helping him reach the pinnacle of his higher purpose is inexhaustible."

"Hi, my name is Tom Sonoski and today is February 11, 2009 and I'm very excited about me. You are probably thinking, "so what?" or "who cares?" But if you are carrying a few extra pounds around, then hear me out.
The reason for my excitement is I lost 14 pounds in the last five days and I did it by eating the foods I love. I didn't have to count calories, carbohydrates, protein or fat content and I didn't have to eat those cardboard tasting lo-cal, non-fat prepackaged foods containing multiple preservatives. You know, the kind that leave you hungry 15 minutes later.
My weight loss is the result of hearing about a weight loss program called Thinner Journey. In just a few hours, Alfonso De Rose showed me how to reprogram my mind about my body and gave me the tools to make a lasting change in my life. I first met Alfonso on Friday, February 6, 2009 at his Thinner Journey Seminar in Carrollton, TX. On that day I weighed in at 237 pounds. By Sunday, February 8, 2009, I had lost 8 pounds weighing 219. On Monday, February 10, 2009 I weighed 215. Today, February 11, 2009, my weight is down to 213 pounds.
What is even more exciting is that when I look in the mirror, I love the person looking back at me. Not only did I get the tools to lose weight, Alfonso empowered me to rid myself of the emotional baggage that kept me from loving me. Along with the weight loss and transformation in my thinking, I uncovered my life purpose. Today, I feel a new freedom and a new happiness!"
Tom Sonoski ~ Euless, TX
"Thinner Journey with Alfonso De Rose was for me a life changing experience. Causing me to evaluate so many areas in my life, with relationships, personal beliefs and behaviors that after examining them I found some things really weren't serving me very well. And even more beneficial to me was that I learned how to take care of my body through a new way of enjoying the experience of eating food. So many times in the past I, like so many other people, turn to food as an escape in times of stress or loneliness. I am very proud to say that within the last five days I have lost five pounds and eating whatever I want. It is such a fabulous way of living. Thank you so much Alfonso!"
Loretta Lawson ~ Allen, TX
"I attended Thinner Journey in October 2008 and again in February 2009. I've struggled with weight for many years and had no real answers. I learned to take the principles and the teachings that Alfonso gives at Thinner Journey and put them into action. As a result, I've dropped 30 pounds effortlessly! With no dieting and while enjoying all the foods that I love – but enjoying it and learning to trust food and its nourishment. Alfonso brings you back to the laws of nature and to me, that really made sense. As a result, my life has changed – my business is better, my relationships are better and my outlook on life is better. With Thinner Journey, you too can make that transformation. This program helped me to realize that I was protecting my heart with the weight. Thinner Journey taught me that letting go of the protection and opening my heart and learning to trust food could really change my life!
"I've lost two and a half dress sizes in two months. Did I diet? No. Did I exercise more? No. Did I take THINNER JOURNEY with Alfonso De Rose? YES!!!"
Cheryl Douglas ~ Vancouver, WA
"I attended Alfonso's seminar, Thinner Journey, in late October of 2008. In the 3 months that have passed since then, I've lost 31 pounds and gone from a size 16 to a size 12! In doing this, I've incorporated Alfonso's teachings from Thinner Journey, which includes eating all the foods that I love instead of going on diets and depriving myself. Since Thinner Journey, I feel that I have boundless energy and I'm so liberated – I feel so free! I noticed that my heart is open to everything and the weight has just melted off! Honestly, it felt like nothing that I have ever experienced before. I want to encourage anyone who is looking to free themselves from 'diet prison' and the emotional pain that comes with it to attend the seminar. It changed my life and it inspired me and it can inspire you!"
Kristen Beckham ~ Dallas, TX
"I've lost 15 lbs since February 2nd. The changes so far in my body have been amazing!!! My waist is much smaller and clothes that haven't fit for a year are fitting nicely again. The biggest changes have been psychological. I have a new-found power over my emotional eating of the past!!! My body doesn't like it at all anymore and I am COMPLETELY aware of that fact. I express my emotions now instead of stuffing them (AND my body!). I am walking – 3 times a week at least a mile and enjoying it! I'm beginning to think there isn't anything I can't do!
Kate Smith ~ Vancouver WA
"My weight issues have been with me since childhood. I found the ultimate answer in the Thinner Journey workshop with Alfonso De Rose. I felt a healing of my mind and spirit that I have never experienced in all the endeavors I have made to lose weight and keep it off. I would love to see others find the freedom I now have. I have released over 20 lbs so far joyfully eating the things I love!
Judy Howard ~ Garland, TX
"I lost over 40 pounds since October '08 (even through the holidays!) while eating all my favorite foods! But even more beneficial than the weight loss is my emotional openness and knowing that I'm now saying 'yes!' to life!
Dona R. ~ Dallas, TX
"I have let go of 50 lbs in the last 5 months, eating the foods I love, without deprivation or starvation. I am on my way to having the body that has been hiding in me for much too long – about 28 years to be exact! Alfonso's seminars have changed my life. Alfonso has helped me to love myself and my body, just as I am. Not just think it in my head, but feel it and live it in my heart. I've learned how to love and trust food; how to open my heart and receive; experience joy, and so much more. I no longer fear gaining the weight back; the need for protection has left me. What freedom! I have infinite gratitude for Alfonso and the work he does. My life will never be the same. Thank you Alfonso!"

If you were still holding out hope that Gerard Butler might hit the battlefields of "300" once more, this time crying out "This, is, Artemisia!," then it's time to let go of those wishes and accept reality: King Leonidas is really and truly gone.
In a recent interview with MTV News, Butler confirmed that he will have nothing to do with "300: Battle of Artemisia," scheduled to hit theaters in August 2013.
"Oh yeah, I'm not doing it," he said. "They're filming [the '300' sequel] right now. I wish them the best, but it didn't [work out]. It wasn't really my thing."
Butler's decision to walk away from the swords and sandals epic is a disappointing one for fans, if not an entirely unsurprising development. The actor's stance on making another movie set in the "300" universe was always wishy-washy at best, most recently telling us last September that we knew more than he did.
"I've heard that I'm in the script. I've heard things, I've seen things," he said. "I honestly don't know what's going on … I have to see a script and talk with them more."
Are you disappointed that Butler won't be back for a Leonidas cameo in the "300" sequel? Tell us in the comments section below or hit us up on Twitter!
