Vintage Campagnolo pedals (maybe the late 80s or early 90s?)
Took these off of one of the old bikes.
These are missing the toe-strap part...
Will put on non-clip-in pedals so that the old bikes can be ridden with regular shoes.
Friday, December 3, 2021 -- Dockweiler Beach Service Road
Stopped on the Dockweiler Beach parking service road to watch a plane take off...
This is the direction to get back home.
The way to Manhattan Beach Pier...
Not many cars in the middle of the day on a weekday...
Sunday, November 28, 2021 -- Put the recently acquired bench grinder in the outside storage bin for now...
There's a little bit of space above the green bin to store something...

Made steak for CRMK's birthday -- on the BBQ...
Made it medium well (145 F internal temperature).
Also, clam chowder soup, salad and Korean side dishes...
Biking glasses -- one of the nose pads broke off...
I have some replacement nose pads.
Installed a new one (clear color).
One very small screw...
Friday, December 3, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Cool but the sun is trying to come out...
High 50s at the beach and it's windy...
As the flags show, it's windy and it's a bit of a head-wind going back home...

Sunday, November 28, 2021 -- Hung up the Jaguar XJS Grille in the rafters...
Most grilles today are made entirely of plastic.
But this Jaguar grille from the late 1990s/early 2000s is entirely made of metal.
The grille frame is metal and the mesh in the middle is woven metal (looks like stainless steel), with a nice rubber edging to protect from metal to metal contact.
The quality of this grille is as good or better than any I've seen for cars built in the last few decades, including on recent Bentleys, Mercedes, etc.
Too bad the typical buyer/owner doesn't really care...
