Wiss M3, just like in the video, they are great for cutting thicker shim material and other things sheet metal.
Squirrel did you try a Dremel or a larger angle grinder+cutoff wheel?
how does it hold up to FIRE
Will it blend?

Have you tried eating it?
Squirrel, send me a scrap and I can try this
Oh god be careful, cut off wheels and fabric are really bad combo. If the blade grabs which is a real possibility some seriously bad things could happen

Glad you did that Andrewm I like my ottolock. Most of the time I use it to lock my front wheel to my frame and use my U lock to lock rest of the bicycle.
The ottolock is perfect for quick lock ups. I carry a long one and a short one for longer lockups to secure the front wheel. The way I see it, a dedicated bike thief is going to be carrying tools to defeat the most common kinds of locks, U-locks and cable locks. So he’s gonna be armed with a grinder, a bottle jack and/or side cutters. None of those tools is going to be much good against the otto. If I know I’m going to be locking up for hours, I’ll bring a U-lock but for normal everyday quick stops and even for like two hours while I’m at the gym (where I can see my bike from certain areas) I use my two ottos which weigh significantly less that my single mini U.
All of this is atmo, of course.
Yeah, the ottolock seems fine for just locking up at a place to run in and grab food or something while out on a ride, rather than for locking up while at work or overnight. I’d buy one.
I was ripping trails, then a frozen rut ripped me 
RIP B&M Ixon Core headlight. Best 45 € light I ever knew.

Picked up this old frame for a song. It is beat all to hell.
Multiple small dings, surface rust, missing paint, crack at the seat post binder slot, dented/scarred on the seat tube where someone either way-overclamped a FD, or just clamped the whole frame in a stand too tight.
It was once a very nice frameset, built in 1974 by Mark DiNucci.
57.5 seat tube X 55.5 top tube, 120 O.L.D. in the rear. Clears 700x34c tires.
I think I will build it up for townie cruising, singlespeed or maybe fixed.

Now that’s a drain hole!
Is the bb seized? That seatpost crack looks pretty whatever. You could add a coat of clear and ride it as is.

was going to post this yesterday. glad it didn’t spark a full on bushfire.
it is laced to a carbon rim!? Has a fancy oversized pulley on the RD, because saving watts is crucial on your e-pinarello

I mean, dude is almost 80, if an electric pinarello makes him happy then fine by me

Did you miss the part where his poorly cobbled-together electric bike blew up underneath him and nearly stated a brush fire?

I’m gonna go ahead and leap to the conclusion that a 79 yo on an e-Pinarello didn’t poorly cobble it together on his own.
