Local handmade frame bags?

Anyone out here making custom frame bags?

If so, how much do you charge and are you open to trades?

Positive Backwoodz Playlist

Trynna make a playlist of kinda optimistic sounding beats from woods and company. I know they may be few and far between but I’m talking “NYC Tapwater” “Make No Mistake” “Stormy Weather” type shit. Maybe even some more melancholy stuff like “Doves” “Guinness”. Just mellow blowing smoke vibes. Any suggestions?

The playlist so far…

Solo Single Speed Century Success

Repost cause my original post got taken down for some reason..? Don’t remember what I said but..

Completed my first solo single speed century the other day. Thanks to everyone on here who responded to my original post with route suggestions and to the random redditor who let me borrow a top tube bag when mine ripped a couple days before the ride. Glad I did it. Surprisingly not that difficult. Wouldn’t do it again! :)

Can I borrow a top tube bag on Wednesday?

I’ve been training for a century on my single speed. After 2 separate Sunday 70 mile rides I think I’m ready. Wednesday my friend is having brain surgery so I thought it’d be a perfect day to ride 100+ miles. You may remember me from this other post

https://www.reddit.com/r/CyclePDX/s/nQIKpX2wPD

Any way my frame bag ripped recently and I’ve been using a fanny pack to carry extra tubes & tools but it doesn’t feel great on my lower back. Hoping someone has an under top tube bag I could borrow, preferably around 19” long. Just for the day.

Thanks!

Michael from TNR

Michael! I met you on TNR the other night. You say you build bikes. You invited me to sandy hut but I didn’t have a lock with me so I didn’t go. Was hoping to get some advice/help on the builds I’m working on. If you see this DM me ! :)

Lost sunglasses on TNR ??

Lost a pair of Enjoy sunglasses on the Thursday Night Ride last night. I know it’s a long shot but if anyone came across them I’d love them back as they were a gift from a dear friend.

Missed Connection : marine dr trail

Today I was eating some blackberries on marine dr and a group of 6 or 8 alternative adults rode by me smiling and waving and such. I too am an alternative adult as you may have noticed. Maybe we could be friends? Any chance 1 of you is in here?

Single Speed Century

Hello fellow portlanders!

I have this unwavering desire to do a century on my single speed. I don’t really know why but I think the g-d machine requires it of me.

Just wondering if 1. Anyone has a sweet little 50 or 100 mile loop I can check out? And 2. If anyone would like to join me for this adventure ?

I’ve been training for this moment all my life, but I could maybe use another month or 2 of prep. Was thinking September would be a good time to shoot for.

ISO bike mechanic

I’ve got a single speed in need of some TLC. Looking for someone who might be able to do so for less expensive than your typical bike shop. Yes I know I could go to bike farm but I run a small business and don’t have a ton of time outside of that. Hoping to help someone else out who might also be running a small business in the form of bike repair. Thanks!

I’d imagine Swans fans might have pretty interesting answers to this question.

What are your desert island albums? 3-5 albums you somehow managed to grab before getting stranded on a deserted island, which of course makes no fucking sense.

Mine are as follows, in no particular order of ranking

Swans - Live Rope

Harold Budd - Perhaps

Miles Davis - The complete Bitches Brew sessions

Harold Budd - The Pavilion Of Dreams

Eden Ahbez - Eden’s Island
