The image is an artistic rendering of a bicycle, where two rolls of masking tape exist as the wheels and one of the rules of masking tape has some tape coming out of it, forming the front fork of the bicycle, and the rest of the bicycle is painted in white on a black background.

When I was young I used to love these magazines from second-tier publishers or for professional specialties because the covers were always fascinating to stare at. Then I'd open them up and the contents were usually bollocks to a little kid who could barely read. Still ended up setting me on my life's path, though.

How was an illustration like this accomplished in 1966? Rulers, ink, and color separations, I presume?
ardgedee pro 14 hours ago
@owl Somewhat.

There are a couple ways to have done it. How I would have done it is to pencil in the drawing on a board, and trace the red and black squared-off lines on two different acetates (one for black, one for red) using precision-width ruling tape, and draw outlines of the remainder with a ruling pen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and fill them with a brush and ink.

This way there was no original artwork as such, it only existed as a sketch and a couple sheets of plastic with black ink and tape on them. It's how we would have been taught to do it when I was in design school, pre-desktop publishing era.

Now after saying that I've zoomed in on the pic, and it's pretty clearly all drawn by hand and ruler, no tape, on a single board and the printer made their own separations. Which sounds wild to me (way more expensive this way) because the back-cover ad is black-and-white. But who knows what was going on at the time.

I broke my road bike (again)

Black bicycle wheel rim, with silver hairline cracks around the spoke hole.
alt text
Black bicycle wheel rim, with silver hairline cracks around the spoke hole.
Last week was rough for my road bike. Most likely, none of the problems were things that happened recently, just issues uncovered doing routine maintenance. The drama started with the roasted/warped rotor I posed a few days ago (https://mltshp.com/p/1ROVW), discovered while adjusting the brakes. That needed replacement, and I decided to also swap the pads and worn rear tire while the bike was down for service. Following my usual buy local philosophy, I spent a good chunk of Saturday going to various bike shops around Columbus, getting everything needed.

As I went to swap the tire, I noticed a few suspicious "scratches" around a few of the spoke holes. Then a bunch more. Going around the wheel, the rim was cracked at 10 of the 32 spoke holes. I've read it's probably fine to keep riding it (and who knows how long this has been an issue) - but I don't trust it, and best case I'm walking home if the wheel fails catastrophically. The only consolation is that the OEM wheel wasn't all that great to begin with. It's gone out of true before, has a small hop in it, and I noticed some rumble from the sealed bearings when I spun it.

Sourcing a new wheel ended up being a challenge. The Salsa Vaya has a 135mm quick release rear (w/thru axle front), and mine has a 10-speed HG cassette. Both are dated standards, and I didn't want to invest much in a wheel that would only work with this specific bike and drivetrain - not that I found one. Briefly, I considered replacing the bike - but the Vaya seems to still be universally loved, and it's perfect for how I use it. After a few days of updating my knowledgebase of hub standards, I found a wheel built with the popular DT Swiss 350 hub, which can easily be converted. It does have the HG freehub body, but comes with a 142mm thru axle. I'll need t swap the endcaps to convert it to QR right from the start, but I'll at least have the parts to swap back if I ever do get a new bike. The biggest value, since I think this bike is a keeper, is the ability to potentially swap the freehub to something more modern when my 3500-mile drivetrain wears out. I ordered the wheel from my friend's shop yesterday, hoping to get the bike up and running this weekend.

I think replacing the wheel (or at least the rim) is the right call, i wouldn't want to put many miles on that. What rim is on your new wheel? Hopefully something a bit beefier.

All of my bikes are built around some form of "obsolete" tech as far as the bike industry goes, that's partly why i've built a handful of wheels myself, too hard to find what i wanted.
cwhartman pro 12 hours ago
@wjcstp New rim is a DT R470db, which has reputation for durability from what I've read. OEM was a WTB i19, which looks to have a reputation for cracking at the spoke holes.

I somehow never learned to build wheels, or really even true them. I should try learning that sometime.

It always makes me nervous I'm going to get stuck tracking down used, NOS, or low-end parts that followed an old standard when something breaks. My Bontrager has a 1" treadless steerer, I'm stuck with to fork it has. My 2022 Yeti has a derailleur hanger, but most mid to high-end MTB groups have moved to UDH. There is a third-party adapter out there for this bike, I'm tempted to grab one (while they are still available) for when it wares out.
samh pro 12 hours ago
Grrr!
wjcstp pro 10 hours ago
@cwhartman I still have a '90s Bridgestone MB4 that stripped out the fork threads a while back, but it's always been rigid, not too hard to find decent rigid replacement forks. I'm guessing that's not the case for suspension forks.

Wheelbuilding isn't the cheap way to get a wheel, but it's fun. I raced CX for years on wheels i built with LX/XT hubs and Velocity rims, they barely ever needed truing.
cwhartman pro 7 hours ago
@wjcstp I always loved the Bridgestones back in the day.

You are correct, 1" steerer suspension forks pretty much stopped being made a few years after my frame. Being threadless (though I could always replace the headset and stem) is even more rare. I'd love to just throw a rigid fork on it, but it was made for suspension, so most older forks would make the geometry even steeper than it already is.

The person is holding out a spray can, spraying neon green paint. Above the person, where their head would be, is a giant spray painted face, hovering in the air. The face is rough and spray-painted, rendered in shades of white, yellow, blue, and neon green. It is barely an emoji, with two round, staring eyes and a wide toothy mouth. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Ace of Wands

Ace of Wands card, by Davezilla. It is a much brighter card than the RWS and rather than showing a hand emerging from a grey cloud, this version shows a submerged hand holding a burning wand thrusting upward, like the Lady of the Lake with Excaliber. The water ripples around it, and Autumn leaves float on the water’s surface. Just beneath the water, are the partially obscured faces of the Dead.

I took inspiration from MC Escher’s famous lithograph, Three Worlds to create this card, because frankly, the RWS Ace of Wands is butt-ugly.

Paul Prudhomme Outside Of His Restaurant “K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen”, In New Orleans (1979)

For a period between 1989 and 1990 I was the head chef at a Cajun Creole restaurant (Fat Franks). We did our utmost to produce authentic creole food in a place not exactly known for the cuisine. During that time this man was my guru, I devoured everything on him that I could find from the other side of the globe.

The one issue we had was that at the time Sassafras was illegal in Australia, I believe it can now be imported with a licence, but fortunately a friend of the restaurants owner had smuggled a few jars of Sassafras powder into the country. We kept that stuff in the safe.

I visited New Orleans in 2001, but I had stopped chefing by then and had just graduated Uni as an archaeologist and I barely had enough money for the trip, so much so that when I stood outside his restaurant reading the menu I came to terms with knowing I wouldn't be dining in there this trip. To this day I regret not selling a kidney to do so though.

I miss cooking that food, I also miss eating it. I think I should smash out a gumbo or a jambalaya soon.

We took an Australian (from Drouin, Victoria) to K-Pauls' in the late 90s. On the menu that day was ... Something with Hot Fanny Sauce. Once the hysterical laughter subsided, we may have been the only table that night that got the Australian slang translation of that.

New Year's Day, around midnight in the French Quarter, somewhere around Dauphine and Conti, we saw a guy exit a darkened doorway to a private home. He was carrying a bottle of wine in a brown bag, and seemed to be hurrying as he went diagonally across the street in the direction of Burgundy. Difficulty walking. Very large and round. Trimmed beard. We instantly knew who it was. Or was it? We told that story a few years later to a server at K-Paul's. She was dubious, and replied "Chef don't walk." Since then, we have entertained the low probability that it might have been Dom Deluise.
