I work in SF Financial District, and I see plenty of those bikes along the Embarcadero, and riding up and down Market. And you need to take a closer look -- none of the Public Bikes are offered with a front derailer, and the same goes for the Dutch bikes and the Pake C'mute. There is plenty of market for non-front derailer'ed bikes even in SF. jim m wc ca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
