I have since when I was 16 this Victorinox Officier, in black. I've been using it most days, always been in my pocket for the last 38 years.
Well, one of the tools is totally useless, the corkscrew. I very much would like a Phillips screwdriver and while I guess i can find the part online…
How do I open the actual knife?
Can someone point me to some link or video, please?
Thanks in advance
Edit: Here are the pictures of the knife:
Hello, I found this 4NIX Atome Pro XL frame at a cheap price (75€), and the two things that left me thinking are the disk brake (but it has tabs to fit the v-brake posts), and the material of the frame, hydroformed AL6061 tubing.
Well, the construction of the bike is wicked, but does it then prove itself effective against Cr-Mo conventional steel bikes? Honestly, it looks very cool to me and the price is attractive.
As it is very discriminant, I’m 190cm tall, would its 21" be okay or is it too small for me?
And what is this bike made for? BMX, Okay, but BMX what? The intended use would be flatland, I guess, and generic use.
Thanks in advance!
Frame: 4NIX Atome Pro XL
Fork: 4NIX
I want to repaint my bicycle. I was thinking of gloss red or yellow, one color, but if you have any cool livery suggestions, please share!
Something that goes with my tan sidewalls, pls. No problem for saddle or bar tape.
Anyway, here's the question. Where can I buy here in Europe (Amazon) or locally (Spain) good paints to use for my steel frame?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: this bike isn't factory painted. It was originally pink and the previous owner spray painted it in black to sell it faster. While photogenic, it isn't of a great finishing. And perhaps, after so many people getting tricked, I will replicate those white bands with rainbow stripes over a different, brighter color, hopefully applied better than this 🙂
It isn’t an expensive exotic either: its make is AJAR, made in Portugal, and I reckon it is a mid-tier bike. Routed back brake cable, Gipiemme dropouts, rear ones with wheel adjustment, slender tubing but not butted. The components aren’t that expensive, although of good quality.
Sulky CLB caliper brakes, Sulky drilled levers - both unknown to me, but work very well and I like them.
It had a Simplex trasnmission of which both delrin derailleurs exploded: the front one to the previous owner, the rear one to me, so it now has a Shimano no model front derailleur and a Campagnolo Centaur 10 speed rear derailleur (and Simplex shifters to be swapped with Campagnolo Record ones once I paint the frame).
Shimano MF-TZ500-6 freewheel cogs (but I want to put a 7 speed period correct Sunrace with the same 14-28 range I found second hand - still to buy it)
Gurpil hubs, Rigida alloy wheels, stainless steel spokes.
A cheap Aliexpress saddle, a French made handlebar.
It is already a frame with which I can experiment, and the idea with this bicycle is to "dress it up" until one day I will find a nicer unmolested and unpainted frame where transferring everything on.
Hello, I found this frame for 5€, and decided to get it because I recently got interested (again) in BMX at my "tender" age.
I would like to get it because it's a L, I'm 190cm tall and I know I would struggle to find a frame for me. Although I don't like the rear stays open in that way, I thought I could build it up and use it until when I find a better frame, and then I will transfer everything there.
Is it a sound plan, or are they 5€ thrown away?
I did the flash mod, thanks to u/The_cooler_ArcSmith who posted about it 6 years ago in this sub!
I used a small dot of solder with the soldering iron at 520°C, the hottest possible to be as fast as I could. It worked out well. Link and other photos below
I remember seeing a while ago a BN0150-like Citizen that had a minutes hand with the chrome outline, not in orange.
I can't find it any more, did I dream it? If not, does anyone gave a model number, please?
Thanks
