I recommend pdw full metal fenders, looks great, really protects both the bike and your clothing. 

Anyway, speech went fine, students weren't too awkward, managed not to sleep with the students or cause any other scandal. Had four glasses of wine, most alcohol I've had in months. Now the choice is between going to the herring breakfast or doing a nice gravel ride in gloomy rainy Finnish countryside.

These would make me Roubaix unsexy, but if I had a Diverge it would make it sexy. Do you remember what model of fenders is it?
Congrats on managing to pull off non-degeneracy, did you get some surprise from the students or was it a false alarm?

The fenders are PDW full metal fenders, these ones in 55mm: https://ridepdw.com/collections/fenders/products/full-metal-fenders-700x55 
Honestly the best ones I've used. Perhaps someday I will buy these for even lighter weight: https://fern-bicycles.myshopify.com/products/carbon-fenders?variant=44207568486667

Yeah it is a great bike. I think I will use it more for all road in the future – put some fast 40mm tyres like Caracal race, get some better wheels, and it's perfect for all road.

Thanks! Quite overwhelmed by it still. It was a very big gala with 800 people. Luckily the students were quite drunk when I held my speech so the applause was splendid. I will now get my photo on the uni hallway like all other previous teachers of the year which is very cool, a dream come true

Yesterday was extremely slippery on the tracks. I almost went out a station, just barely managed to hold it. Had to use the emergency brake button to make the final stop. If you use it too early it does nothing and you will just keep sliding. Was a bit stressful. Later I heard the two guys before me did slip out of the station. They had to inform the passengers who were going there to get out at the next station and take the next træen back

Recently I was on the subway and train stopped at station due to medical emergency. Engineer said they called ambulance but it would be a few minutes until they got there. 

I got off, went down stairs to the express train heading same direction , took it past where I was going to dinner, and then got off and got on the original train line heading opposite way back into the station I was originally going to. I was very proud of all this cleverness. When I got to be restaurant I had to wait a half hour anyway because everyone else was stuck waiting behind the train with medical emergency. 

What do you say about that

All rides are good berts

I've tried various different fits, I was the og upwards stem bert but stopped with it while the other Finnbert is still doing it. It was good for riding aero in a straight line, but I couldn't do out of saddle properly with it and handling wasn't good either. At the moment on the raper I am experimenting with more forward fits with long and low stems. For this gravel bike I probably need to get a new offset seatpost so I can flip it forward, the 72.5° seat angle is really fucking up my position at the moment and it doesn't feel as nice.
