I heard that it is bad and I heard that it isn't. I have no clue whatsoever; I don't have way of "scientifically" to exam the boiling water after it sets in something like the AeroPress to see if there are any microplastics. Since the double walled insulated Mueller works better anyway there...

Of course I drink the coffees I make, but I only make one cup a day. I have 7 different methods which are Vietnamese coffee using the Phin maker which makes surprisingly good coffee and the maker is only $15 to $18; I make Turkish coffee using a Cezve Ibrik; I also use a Bialetti Brikka Moka...

No, I don't want women competing against a man, that wasn't my point at all, just don't understand why women are not allowed to pay full tackle football against other women, like they do in MMA where one woman fights another woman. They have women's baseball, but it's softball for some reason...

My other hobbies are camping, fishing, hunting, shooting, traveling, making all sorts of different coffees, and listening to music. I do intermingle the camping and fishing on the bicycle whenever possible. I have dogs, but not sure that's a hobby, a hobby with a dog in my opinion would be...

Why can't women play tackle football? They box, they do MMA, but they can't play full tackle football??

Shimano never made any frames for production purposes or for protypes or concept frames.

I'm a tightwad, but that made me successful in business, so along those lines are my thought. Fix up the old bike; but keep the Vitus original, don't put some modern stuff on it, it will bring down the vintage value of the bike. You can find the exact stuff that came on the Vitus originally on...

If you're wanting Campy, then why would you go cheap with Shimano? Strange. If you're willing to spend the money for Campy, then go with either Centaur or Chorus...or you could mix the two so you would get the best where it matters, and the rest where it doesn't matter. So I ran that thought...

You would buy an E bike if you were commuting 10+ miles a day? 10 miles is nothing, you don't need an E bike to do that. I had a 15 mile commute one way when I was in my 60s and did it on a regular bike. There was some guy on another forum that had a 35 mile commute one way, and he did that...

The 979 was a very nice bike, I would for sure replace the chainrings, you can find those on E-bay still new. But if the bike in appearance is in nice condition then restore it, but restore it using original factory equipped components. Having said that, if you have the money, buy a new bike...

Cycling takes up most of my free time, as does going to the YMCA. I have a few really minor hobbies, I have 3 old tube radios, one is a shortwave which also picks up ham radio, it was supposedly the best shortwave radio reception of any made in the 40's, it's a Zenith Transoceanic. All my...

You'll be lucky if the cat even looks at your finger, most of the time they'll just walk away completely uninterested. But the biggest thing is, you can never teach a cat to bring you the paper, or fetch a stick, nor will it protect you with a loud meow to scare away would be intruders!

I stopped watching football when they made it into a girly sport by taking away the endzone celebrations, and the sacking of the quarter back celebrations. Taunting is a part of the game, you have to get into the other teams head, and the more you can screw with them the better the odds...

I can't tell from what you said completely but it sounds like you live in a mountainous area, and will probably be riding mountain roads, if so then you want a lighter bike over an aero bike.
