Thanks for the compliment, Paul! LOL! Well, for one thing, the more you ride and the fitter you get, the more comfortable *any* bicycle is. :-) Beyond that notion: I ride every day I can, usually 10-20 miles and sometimes up to 35 miles. I also have a long torso and longish arms, so the

I’m with you Paul. Several years ago I bought a ‘hybrid’ bike from Trek with an upright riding position. My previous bike was a mountain bike that required a crouched riding position which didn’t go well with my back and neck. -Original Message- >From: Paul Stenquist >Sent: Apr 17,

Fun stuff. I didn’t see the insect when viewing this on my phone, but it’s a great look on my big Retina 5K monitor. Is it a termite or a winged ant? More DOF would help most of the other shots but tough to achieve with macro. > On Apr 16, 2020, at 7:51 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > I got

Looks great, but it seems like it would be very uncomfortable for someone like me who hasn’t ridden in years. I can hear my back screaming at me at the very thought of riding bent over like that for hours. But a fabulous machine no doubt. > On Apr 17, 2020, at 10:56 AM, Bob Pdml wrote: > >

Yesterday's bicycle ride celebrated a moment of closure: The Salsa Beargrease custom-build that replaces my stolen Fatboy is now officially finished! The custom wheels were the last part, it took six weeks to get these bespoke rims delivered from the excellent folks at BTLOS in China. :) I
