Profile Design Aquarack

So in preparation for the LB to SD ride, I decided to grab one of these bad boys. For really long distances, you need some form of accessible hydration and granted I could have just put a bunch of bottles in my bag, but a lafixed deal came up which I couldn't pass up. This thing can hold 2 bottles and it attaches to your seatpost. Those little metal things that come out can hold CO2 cartridges. When I was test riding this for the first time, I felt the reach was too low for me even though I hiked it up as far as I could. So I ended up removing the spacer and the CO2 holders and it has a better feel to it.

I'll prolly do a full review when I log 250 miles on my odometer. So far I'm really enjoying this. Next post will be my bottles.

So I decided to treat myself and get a computer for Merci Rolls. Why you may ask? Well to be honest I always wanted to know how far and how fast I am going. My goal when I bought this computer 8.16.2011 was mainly to try to ride 10 miles a week. Right now I have increased it to 20 miles. By trying to push my endurance more and more over time so that I can ride LBC to SD. The long term goal is hopefully be able to do the Tour de California on a fixed. Here is to the 1st stepping stone!

I plan to do a full review when I have about 250 miles logged into the odometer. So far I have 100+.

Camera Check: Nikon FG-20

Another day, another camera check! This one isn't as throwback as the Polaroid 440, but just as cool. Check out that Nikon leather case! It has been used but not abused.

Nikon FG-20, its a film camera with a 50mm lens! Honestly this older glass looked cleaner/clearer than the 50mm I'm currently using. 

Leather grips

Low profile with that Sharp strap

Such a beauty! 

They currently don't sell the FG-20 anymore but they do sell something similar, <this> bad boy! The Nikon FM10 is a very similar looking camera, but for some reason I like how the FG-20 looks!

Behind the Lens: Polaroid 440

Camera Check: Polaroid 440

One of my friends has a really throwback camera ... literally. Check out this rugged leather case.

The plastic case cover protects the lens and just pulls out. The viewfinder pops up. Crazy innovative design Polaroid.

Can you say throwback?

The shutter is a bit different. The best I can describe it is double action. 7/8 press to click and get ready, last 1/8 click to actuate the shutter. 

There are two view finders on this camera. The obvious one in the center and the circular one on the left. You use the large one to compose the shot, the smaller one to focus. It's pretty fun.

External Flash

So this is the bulbs for the flash

It has 4 separate light bulbs which you can rotate when one burns out.
