Fresh Goods Friday 716: The Icelandic Edition

It’s oh so quiet. There’s just me (Mark) in the office today. That’s not actually unusual as we run a hybrid home/office deal at Singletrack and Frida …

Fresh Goods Friday 716: The Icelandic Edition

Nice crema

It’s all in the tamping

The reaches on Bjork’s bike must be well over a metre. At least it’s on trend for low and long. Slack not so much. Still 2 out of 3 ain’t bad I suppose.

2 out of 3 ain’t bad

Sorry but that was Meatloaf. This AI business will destroy all of our culture. I tell thee  !!

Depending on the weight of them, I could see those Deemaxs helping Mavic’s MTB comeback

You had to mention the ‘Q’ word, didn’t you.

Rule 1 in our office (even before the usual ‘Don’t be a d***’) – ‘Never mention the ‘Q’ word’. All bedlam will break loose if it’s ever mentioned.

It looks a decent brew, Mark, but surely takes an eon to make? I’m afraid I’m a push a button and wait 45 seconds type of guy. As Björk says, Speed is the key!

Cheers!

I kind of like the process of making the coffee but I take your point. If you want coffee as quick as possible these toys are not really for you. That said, you do tend to get pretty quick at all the faff if you have everything in the right places 🙂

Yeah, but they’re 29er front and rear. I mean I don’t ride a huge amount of park, but even I don’t want a 29er rear buzzing my arse. If it was a MX wheelset, it would probably be more popular.

I want to like the tru tension stuff… some genuinely well thought out stuff. I just wish they would use aerosols less.

So many options for reusable stuff these days.

Haha! These have been mentioned on the forum (by me) in the Netflix Recommendations thread (page 101).

The adverts are so weird (and the product so ridiculous) that I thought they were fake ads as I was watching The Boys at the time.

Also! I did an AI imag of Bjork a while ago. This is Bjork and Kate Bush mud wrestling. Of course it is 😀

That image… I thought that Iceland had rather fewer trees than that (and those are apparently mostly birch, I just learnt). I have my doubts about the hills, too – they look a bit too much like the Rockies, not like relatively fresh bits of volcano. And that bike (as others have pointed out) is a little weird. Otherwise, it’s pleasantly close to Bob Ross in style. That’s no bad thing.

Roll on the lighter versions of the HR3, a maxxgrip exo or exo+ is going to be a damn nearly perfect tyre for so many people.

Wankery items ?, absolutely, nothing worse than a coffee ponce.
Well, apart from what rhymes with ponce.

Not so keen on Kate’s extra arm or spooky eyes. Looks like artists will have some utility in the long haul our AI overlords have before taking control.

Weirdly I’m in Iceland and been listening to Bjork today while driving. Only fitting, really.

Agree with the above, trees and mountains feel much more Rockies than Snæfellsnes Peninsula!
