Thanks for stopping in again. Definitely appreciate it. It's been a rainy humid Summer here in the North East. Looking forward to Fall. Do you / have you ever made video's? Bringing back an old MTB to go berry picking seems like a good one to share if you do.

I think you’re right on making videos but I’m a bit busy with a few projects. Once I get the spare parts I need I’ll maybe try adding a video on this. It would compliment my other projects which include distributing and selling brake parts.

@@BengalDiscBrakesMichi think it might be a chicken hawk feather 🤔 We do have a healthy population of raptores in the Del Gap Area.. it very well could be. If that were the case I'd have to return to the ground from which I found it. Till then its Chicken Hawk feather !

Good morning Timber Definitely appreciate that, Thanks! I can see you messing around with one of thses outside your tent after a day of cranberry harvesting. Look forward to seeing the outside kitchen when you get it dialed in. Have a great day

@bodhicrocker4588 Yeah, I would like that. I love listening to music and also watching musicians play. It's like magic to me. I took guitar lessons for years and never managed to produce anything that sounded like music. I had a girlfriend who was a concert violinist, and she tried teaching me for a couple of years too. Whatever it is that people have in them to organize sounds in a way that is pleasing to the ear, I don't seem to have it. At least it hasn't presented itself so far. I dance like a dropped sack of potatoes, too😆. I have other giftings. I do admire the esthetic of sitting in a camp in the woods playing a cigar box banjo in the claw hammer style.

@@timberdrifter8225 A cigar box banjo you made yourself! Clawhammer is one of those styles I can't wrap my brain around. I do love the sound of it tho. Its Scruggs three finger style and Old time Two finger here/ at the moment. The key to learning is to never give up. It will happen. Just like everything else take it easy on yourself, take it easy on the instrument and enjoy the learning process.

Greetings I haven't really given it proper test ride since the upgrades. Just a couple short rides with a few climbs but nothing I needed the other four gears on. I think I said in the video the the new cassette was an 11-42. Its not.. it's an 11 - 40 with the goat lnik. Upfront is stock 26 36 48 I have a 140 mile attempt coming up that I plan on using this bike on. The loop has plenty of no joke climbing.. that will be a good test for the new set up. Hope you get whatcha want!

This old bike has a lot of chapters in its story. Someone bought it in Japan and loved it so much that they brought it with them here to the States. A bunch of yrs pass and I see it on the side of the road in front of what was an old gas station/garage /both on 206 in Sandyston, NJ with its bar ends pointing up and the drops hooked over the head tube towards the front wheel. Had to have it!

I fought the gravel thing for a long time. It didn't make any sense to me until I got the Libre.

Greetings Thanks for stopping in and leaving a comment. I since took the Swift bag off the Sutra because it was rubbing off the paint on the head tube. Not good ! I will look into the low riders for that bike. Thanks I put the bag on a brand spanking new Kona Libre with the same results (dont know what I was thinking). After one long ride the bag made it through the paint and into the aluminum... When I received the notification that you left a comment I was actually gorilla taping the head tube to protect it from further damage. The swift bag will live on the Kona libre. I'll just have to keep an eye on it. It's definitely not going back on the touring bike. Happy trails

@@bodhicrocker4588 i use a Restrap Bumber Bar to keep my bag of the head tube and keep it away from the cables. It works great.

@@seansixfive ugh.. I wish I had known about that before I went nuts with the gorilla tape. I took the bag off the Sutra and put it on the Libre. After a 70 mile trip the bad was sawing it's way through the paint almost into the aluminum . That's when the gorilla tape happened. Could find helicopter tape. In a different video I tried for whatever reason to make it seem like I wasn't as worried about the libre as the Sutra... total bs I like them both the same! Thanks for letting me know about the bumper 🙏

Thanks 😉👍

The only thing I can tell you about the rear rack is that it came stock with the bike. No markings other than the ISO # sorry No issues with it at all. It's well made whatever it is 👍

My Buddhist name is Yan Shi. Given to me by Chang Wen Fashi from the Chan tradition. Thanks for stopping in 🙏

Will do. Thanks for the comment 👍

Thanks Timber Whatever the sound of money leaving ones pocket is what it/ they should be called Haha The sourdough with olives 🍽

Hey thanks ! Your channel is new to me.. skimmed it over quick. Nice shots! Will give them a watch later on . Thanks again

Yes it does! Thanks for stopping in James.

Thanks for stopping by Dale It's been awhile! This is one of those must know tunes. Hope all is well.

Thanks again Timber 👍

SADHU SADHU SADHU ! Like I mentioned in response to Stephen .. it's a good day when you guys stop in. Appreciate it 🙏

@bodhicrocker4588 Well, the two of us are sitting here together. We were talking about you and I commented that I thought you had stopped making videos. He said you hadn't. It turned out I had become unsubscribed to your channel somehow. So im back.

@@timberdrifter8225 Glad to have ya back! You guys have a great night.

You know you're doing something right when I'm A Wrench and Timber chime in on the same video. 🙏

@@bodhicrocker4588 Like he said below we are hanging out together for a bit. Wish you were here also, that would round things out nicely.

​@@imawrenchI'd watch that video ! Who knows Stephen maybe someday that will happen.

I do miss my corn cobs. Thanks for stopping in.

Stephen, thanks for the input I definitely appreciate it. I was thinking it might be more of a Randonneuring style bike with the down tube shifters for quick and easy repair during events. Then again.. most Rando bikes that I've seen only have the front rack.. idk?? I do know or think that if anyone toured this bike they must have been a beast. .. seriously Hahaha

There he is! Didn't realize you were on here... I found your old hat👍

Thanks!

I need to spend sometime on the AT. It's been pretty much all cycling for a couple years. What was/is your trail name?

The next time I go out. Thanks

The latakia of teas. Yes, I am very formilur with it. It was my go to at the last monastery i lived in. I haven't had it in awhile though. Need to do something about that! Belated happy holidays to you as well. Thanks for stopping in 🚴‍♂️🧘‍♂️☕

@@bodhicrocker4588 The Latakia of Teas. I am so gonna use that :)

I am 5'8" and the frame is a 54. The only problem I have is with the bar height. No room on the steering tube to raise the bars without putting on an ugly extension. Way too much weight on the hands. I love the drops but i might have to go to Moloko bars next season .

sounds like a 56cm frame for me definitely! Have you thought about a stem with some rise to it. 45' degree instead of the ugly extension. That's the problem with these new bikes, once the fork is cut that's it for length options. Happy cycling :) @@bodhicrocker4588

@@lv2keepfit493I wouldn't recommend anyone new to long distance cycling buy a touring bike from a shop that doesn't have a touring cyclist on staff. I was sized up by a Gravel rider. Not knocking him or gravel.. just saying the two styles are not the same. Good luck on finding your ride and safe travels!

Look up Tocks Island Dam Controversy.

Good morning Kevin ☕
