People say that, but when bands actually embrace the styles of bygone eras, they just get slammed as derivative and "a poor man's xyz." See: Greta van Fleet.

I like what I've heard from Greta Van Fleet but they do seem very derivative of Zeppelin. I would welcome new bands playing music in the style I like.:50:
Regular commercial radio is usually the same thing over and over and they rarely have anything new. If they do have something new they play it every hour. Or the "classic rock" stations never have anything new. |

That's good. All the watches nowadays are big and clunky. I prefer the elegance of the much smaller men's watches of the 40s and 50s. They don't get clonked on doorjambs quite so much.
Inherited this from my dad. It has an inscription and must have been a present from my mom shortly after I was born. |

I had not heard of Weiss, and that they appear to be manufacturing in the US. Last I knew, only RGM were making movements in America. Before that, you have to go back to 1969, for the last Hamilton movements out of Lancaster, or a few years earlier for the last of Elgin's.
I also have an RGM, but not their in-house movement. Mine has an ETA movement. . |

I regret to inform you that garbled '70s guitar music is not going to become popular again.

Wow, crazy Canyon frame. Full rigid is back!!! Next thing you know they'll put 26" wheels on it :)

It’s another wet and raw morning. Even so, will try to do some real miles this morning.

Wheels are an easy swap and not something you'd do that often.

What can you fit on the Cervelo? Max for CX is something like 33mm, isn't it? If you can fit that on the Cervelo, and still have room for mud, why not get your feet wet with that before buying a new bike?
For that matter, why not try a race, or at least some face-melting group rides, on the Madone before shelling out on the Emonda? |
Just started Flomax last night at PCP’s suggestion. This may not be the drug for me.

Cervelo can only go up to 32, I thought it could go higher but I was wrong. Plus the cervelo feels to small for me. The madone, I am too worried I will crash it. If I don’t have the emonda by the spring I will just race the cervelo. |

Right, maybe 1-2x monthly for true gravel. I could honestly probably get long just fine with a Caledonia for the types I ride. Only the occasional muddy mess.
I would probably ride more gravel if the Haanjo was nicer. Replacing the Haanjo with a nice gravel bike, on top of the R3, would cost quite a bit of coin for something that probably wouldn't see more that 1-2k miles per year, though. That makes a one-bike solution, with an Aspero (or similar racy gravel) and a second wheelset, a little more attractive. It would also free up a roster spot for a bike with a different niche: fattie, MTB, cruiser, whatever. |

Agree with this statement. I don’t race though- don’t like it. That’s why I’m considering a move to 1 bike. Revolt sits on the shelf 99.999 percent of the time

That’s appealing. |

At this point, group rides give me enough of an outlet for competitive urges. That may change and I may pin on a number eventually, but I'll cross that bridge if I come to it.
