It's been causing me to question what has been a long and happy

I think the Silver brakes are brilliant. I sort of wished my Quickbeam had
them.

and ready to roll!
Does the AHH also have a threaded mount under the seatstay bridge for
fenders? How about under the fork crown? And behind the chainstay
bridge? (after all, if you're going to do it in one place, you might
as well do it in all three, right?)

Does anyone know why my AHH only has one rear dropout eyelet? Just
curious.
Thanks for any replies.

Seems like leaving the tires inflated would be a better idea to protect the

I know there are wooden fenders out there. Does anyone make titanium
fenders? Carbon fiber/kevlar/Spectra composite?
Berthoud makes carbon fiber fenders.

So, it's a Top Rack mounted on the front instead of the rear. This would be
useful for someone who wants a front rack, but doesn't have mid-fork bosses
and doesn't want to use P-clamps.

Wow. Thanks for sharing that article. But I don't think an Altlantis would
have made it a better story. :-)

Nice.
What cable hanger is that for your front brake cable. My stock orange QB
doesn't look like that.

This is the sad, passing of an era.
I remember in THE OLD DAYS, it was fun to watch people posting to the list
when they got their RR in the mail, leading to lengthy conspiracy theories
about the US Post Office and the efficacy of third class mail.

who just got his RR online
on the position of the right shifter. They did
not work with standard braze-on downtube shifter bosses.

Just look at the comments above and imagine what you would think if
you rode a carbon Colnogo

go with the Bigmouths.
