@Aetas:

Westfalenstadion…....sorry,couldn't resist 

Nor should you. I hope to visit one day.

Think about the idea, to build a paper bridge over a 15 cm gap.
Max. Weight 180 Gramm, Minimum 32 sheets of DINA 4, glue but no film, tape or Gorilla .
Then you get this! Left side is eliminated on the block.

Last place…

Winner with exactly 177g.

While testing. Tour jacket cushion underneath .

Outtake
Strong!

This build is…....even stronger! If there is ever an OD Club,  I am in!

Uncommented Skyline

Another day and the jacket is difficult to spot, but pictured. Guess where…

Sandstone cottage from 1840

I don't like the door and the windows, the rest is beautiful.

[steelworker]

Love the updates @Aetas The cottage is similar to  houses in Pa. where many Germans settled. Manheim(hey, guess they didn't like the original spelling) Strasburg are nearby towns.

I had to replace one of my longstanding cooperation bikes. Has been used at least on training role for the last 10 years, seen much blood, sweat and tears over the last 25 years…. but this bike is another story.

Talked to a colleague and he offered me a cycle of his father, hand build 17 years ago and not used for over 15 years.

Flat tires, dust and corrosion for only the first sight.
A few hours later with some cleaning and inspection it turned out to be beautiful and incredible rare.
Handmade frame from KRABO-Krautscheid Bochum with Campagnolo parts.
Did not like the handlebar and seat, but they are very comfortable. Unsure if I should replace them.
It is a fast Touring bicycle.

Now I need another bike for the training role  ::) ;)…. and a bike from the son of Mr. Krautscheid. He is doing the same job in the same town, but with more modern ergonomics and survey -Krautscheid jr.

Lol. Cyclists are worse than petrol heads for need another one for this that or the other….

@organisys:

XX are worse than XX-heads for need another one for this that or the other….

Caught in the act….

My family is very happy with the situation, that we only own two vintage  Vespa at this time.

City live is far away to be as contemplated as the next picture lead to believe.

Tour jacket and 801

And some Music Today

[neph93]

Damn, that bike does look glorious. Quite a score. The last pic was beautiful @Aetas.

[Aetas]

The book I read at the moment. Not as entertaining as expected. But this has potential to evolve.

The drawings are amazing!

Not even have a clue what this means.
Have to find out.

I know I've said this before, but this is a fantastic tour stop.  Really enjoying this one…

[organisys]

That's a pretty big High Voltage Switchyard!

Designed a few of those myself….

Posted this today IHSH-22

Thanks @Max Power and @marlin and all contributing XX-Heads.

Here are the Outtakes….

Glück Auf

[Max Power]

The first picture is really awesome!

[neph93]

Very cool with the IHSH-22 and the wall. What is it with the Germans and art on walls by the way? Seems like it’s a thing [emoji1]

[Aetas]

It is across all continents…. a local glimpse here.

[Aetas]

Chatted to @Cole today and he is going on holiday next week, we decided to transfer the jacket a few days earlier.

Jacket is hanging around for another five days …

Local quarry for all this sandstones. Yours look better G.

Right behind is the Nightingale mine. The cradle of the region's mining industry.

IH-526Lod vs. IHSH-99

Both fabrics behave and look very different!

Nice job working these quarries when the wind is up
