Laing Maybe you have too many single speeds, but you definitely have too many mixtes. In order to restore balance in the universe, I recommend you sell your medium mountain mixte* to me. Please and thank you. Every stable should have one bike with a lift-a-tube, and that's an empty slot in my stable. Another MMM* build would fill the mixte slot AND the liftatube slot.
*Joyless pedants cannot resist the urge to remind us that the Rivendell R05C0 8U883 known as the "medium mountain mixte" is not actually a mixte. A mixte has dual skinny top tubes heading all the way to the rear wheel. In part to sooth the JPs, I invented the term "Mountain Utility Step Through", and called my former MMM "Trusty MUSTy". I should not have sold mine. My build was sensational. Fix these problems by selling me yours. :) Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Friday, April 7, 2023 at 6:17:29 AM UTC-7 lconley wrote: > Let's see: > > Beater - Flying Pigeon > Bomber - Gust Boots Willsen, Crust Scapegoat > Single speed - Protoveloosa/Mystery Bike, Frank Jones Sr., Trek District, > Velo Orange Neutrino, Maxway Resurectio, another Flying Pigeon > Touring Bike - Bombadil > Lightish Road Bike - Rivendell Custom, Gitane Tour de France > Do-all racked and bagged bike - Crustendell Clementine Clydesdale Cargo > Cycle Conversion > Mixte - Rivendell Keven's Custom, Betty Foy, Rosco Bubbe Medium Mountain > Mixte, Rosco Bubbe Baby > Loaner - Bike Friday Metro > Project Bike - 1973 Schwinn Paramount P-15 restoration > > Additional categories > Gravel - Rosco Bubbe V1 > English Racer - Pashley Guv'nor > Museum Piece - Gitane Tour de France (different one - original except for > the sew-ups) > Others - another Schwinn Paramount P-15, Scott Sub 10, > > I guess I have too many single speeds... > > Laing > > > > Hi Tom — This appeared as a little blurb in Rivendell Reader No. 42 on > page 6 (online in the Rivendell archive here > <http://notfine.com/rivendell/RR42.pdf>). > > [image: Screenshot 2023-03-29 at 8.14.15 PM.png] > > On Wednesday, March 29, 2023 at 8:45:16 AM UTC-4 Tom Palmer wrote: > > Hi all, > I recall an article by Grant about the number of bike a person needs with > justification.
