I have toured with the rack, as well as using it locally and for commuting from
time to time. You are absolutely correct. That loop does interfere with
packing objects onto the top of the rack, as well as interfere with some
saddlebags hanging from the seat. I have often considered cutting
45mm fenders and 32mm tires - that sounds pretty great for my
Romulus. Oh, wait, I have an Ebisu coming to accommodate just that
combo! Oh, well.
The brakes look stellar. Hopefully more people will post here with
their Roadeos/Rams/Roms all suited up in Ms! Motolite BMXs on my

models for extra style points. Blunt for knee safe operation.
When I rode Shimano bar-cons I practiced shifting with my knees,
good party trick. Shimano friction is no where near a nice
as power ratchet, too stiff.
Spending a lot for outstanding brakes like these makes sense, while I can't
understand the hype and expense that so many people are willing to tolerate
when it comes to shifting systems...oh wait, this is the choir I'm talking to.

Good point! I don't think
Interesting replies. For me, cycling has been part of an aerobic
outdoors lifestyle that included running, hiking, climbing, and cross-
country skiing. Clean oxygen-fed sport as XCZone.tv has called it. I
know longer do the running or climbing. But the Riv/BOB bent was a
decision to keep the gear
hey seth,
funny, i hadn't thought about grant's comment that seven is a good
number of bikes. g
i guess i said 'more than i'm supposed to have' because of an earlier
thread i ran across a few days ago (a thread from back in 2007, i
think) where beth h. was mentioning that it's more rare than not
The shifter knocks the pump off the frame.

In my curved-bar days, I preferred both. Silver friction front, DA
index rear. I tried Silver friction on the rear for a while.
Definitely smooth and silent, but I was never able to warm up to

haven't you heard it's not the bike it's the motor! And those fancy
lycra togs will make you look fast too. hehe.
I would 2nd the other notes... tires and wheels are biggest factor in
my opinion, but I'd use some fast 28-30's.. 25's are too skinny!
other then that... take off excess weight...
I know experiences vary, but I gotta point out that I equallylove the ride of Homer (AHH) with JB Blues or JB Greens. Can't tell a difference. Amazingly good either way.

It would be neat if Saluki and AHH were seasonal things. At certain times of the year or every couple years or whatever, the bike sold by Rivendell would be the Saluki with Saluki decals and that butterscotch. And then after a while,the company would stop selling the Saluki, but sell theAHH in
Yeah - I couldn't tell a difference either - similar tire life,
similar puncture resistance, equally fun to ride.

I too use a Leica M and shoot black and white film. I've been shooting
since I was about 17 and with a Leica for the last 20+ years.

You're an all-steel,
I assume this is quasi on topic since I found out about the print
here. I got my print from Hiawatha back from the framers today:

I think it came out really nicely with the green frame.
Thanks Jim!
