The KEKS M-Meter

This is, I promise, actually a review of the brand-new digital M-meter by popular metering brand KEKS. It is. But, it’s impossible to do a proper review of their newest (and most interesting) offering without starting with a little time travel back to the very beginning of the Leica M line of rangefinder cameras… Have you ever noticed this notch on some Leica M shutter speed dials and wondered...

Second Time’s a Charm: The Smaller Rivendell Clem Smith Jr 45cm L Style

For those who remember my long and troubled experience with the 52cm H style, the important thing for me to start with is all of my pains are gone, my wrists are good and my knee is healing and I have no soft tissue issues.

The Rivendell Clem Smith Jr: Review from a Commuter

I’ll keep my original reviews up below. After almost three years and 7,800 miles (the most I’ve ever racked up on a single bike, woo!) I have swallowed the bitter pill and admitted to myself that this frame is too large for me.
