[RBW] Re: Appaloosa, mo bettah pics (hopefully)

[Joe Bernard]

Linda, I was there yesterday, and I'm still sold on the blue. I looked at the 
mustard Appa and it's gorgeous, but this confirmed my sense that light blue has 
more "stay" with me..that I will still love it years from now. 

I went through this process when I bought my FIAT Abarth three years ago. I 
liked black w/red, but I kept looking at white w/ red, too. I almost popped for 
that, then I took another hard look at the black and asked myself what would be 
a better fit for me, day in and day out. Black w/ red it was, and I'm always 
happy with it. It's more "me". Enjoy your Clem!

[RBW] BBH Closing?

[Marc40a]

I was just reading the old Roscoe Bubbe blug tonight and noticed: 

"Most of you don’t know, but we have spawned a micro-store in fancy downtwon 
Walnut Creek. It’s about 2.5 years into what will be the end of its 3-year 
lease. "

That's was dated March of this year. 

So, there it is.

Re: [RBW] Re: BBH Closing?

[David Stein]

Irving - I'm flexible and that works for me. Let's shoot for 10AM at WC
BART (or 10:30 at the Indian Valley Elementary entrance to the park).

Nick - thanks for offering and if you have a route from that entrance that
would be awesome. Let me know if you can't make it for any reason and I'll
plan accordingly, or feel free to shoot over a route map from ride with gps
or google maps or whatever. Otherwise I just rely on the one from
BayAreaRides.

Everyone else - instead of taking roll, just plan on being at one of those
two spots at the appropriate time and shoot me a PM if you're running a
little late.

We'll ramble around Shell Ridge and head to BBH after, bring some spending
money ;). Weather of as of now looks on the warm side, but still in the low
80's.

What a beautiful baby!  What do you actually call her?  Becky?  Lynne? 
 Rebecca Lynne?  We called our grandson "His Tinyness" and our 
granddaughter  "XYZ" (which are her initials).  Our daughter swears we 
called her "Aaaron-Sage-Suzanne"  which showed her lineage behind her 
brother and the family dog.

You wont always be able to appreciate it when she is having a meltdown but 
this is the best thing that has ever happened.  Bless you and her and her 
mother on this sacred journey.

Life is good.

Errr, still totally down for this but I have a morning appointment that 
makes it iffy for me to get to Walnut Creek BART by 9:34am. I will 
definitely be able to make it to the next train and arrive at 9:54am, so

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa, mo bettah pics (hopefully)

That's helpful, Joe, especially since (if I remember correctly) you (like 
me) had picked out the dark mustard Clem.  I've put in a request to change 
my pre-order back to the blue.  I can hardly wait to see it in person and 
to get my feet on the pedals!  Glad you are so happy with your Appaloosa.

[RBW] Some things change, some stay the same

[iamkeith]

She's beautiful.  Some things are just so much better than bikes.

Wow, Tony, she's lovely!  You've got a whole new life dimension in your 
hands.

You've also got a new perspective on riding...more short rides...and soon 
more company.

Congrats.  Totally.

[Tony DeFilippo]

Thanks Patrick!  I opted for 2.25 Nobby Nic's for the trail ride so I'll 
have to go back and do a direct comparison. I expect I'd see a difference 
in 2 big area's;  slow (very) speed climbing on loose dirt and taking large 
roots/rocks/obstacles without a good approach.  In my granny I was climbing 
slowly on dirt and really felt the knob's biting in and helping me climb 
and I think I'd miss that w/ the SBH's and probably get off and walk abut 
15' sooner... not a big deal.  And as far as rolling over stuff just having 
the extra volume and stiffer sidewalls makes me think the Nobby Nic's ride 
better.  I'll bet on anything else I'd prefer the SBH's for the speed and 
amazing cush though.

Thanks Daniel!  I think the huge impact will be once my wife - Erika, goes 
back to work in Oct which means I'll be involved in some kind of day care 
drop off which means my regular bike commute will at least be different if 
not eliminated for a while.  But recreational rides are definitely going to 
be few and far between.  I really can't wait for the Yepp Mini rides with 
her!

Congratulations! 

You'll find that though the kid initially cuts your riding down by about 
112%, at 8 months or so pulling a trailer with the noob will be some of the 
most biking fun you've ever had.  

And then, when she graduates to the up front Yepp Mini on your Bomba, oh 
boy the fun begins!

Congratulations, Mama and Papa Tony and Rebecca! She's beautiful, so 
thankfully took after her mother, aye? Grin.

I saw this on your blog (sans Rebecca) and wondered if you'd ridden that 
trail with the 48mm Compass, and if so, how it did?

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Some things change, some stay the same

[Tony DeFilippo]

I'd like to introduce my daughter Rebecca Lynne, born 6/23/2016.  She and 
her mother are doing great, we've been enjoying the first two weeks home 
from the hospital and couldn't be happier.  I can't wait to get her started 
on bicycling adventures in about 6 months or so... whenever I get the 
clearance from my wife!  




Bike/Riv tie in - I took 2 weeks of leave after Rebecca arrived and my wife 
and I each tried to give each other a couple opportunities out of the house 
to do our own thing during that time.  Last Thursday I took the Bombadil 
from smooth tired/fendered/racked commuter back to its fat-knobby 
singletrack roots and had a great evening over at Wakefield Park in 
Annandale VA.  Another fun change is my new 'Bike-Delivery-Vehicle', a 2006 
Honda Ridgeline which I've already added a DIY bed fork mount to.  Worked 
great w/ the Bombadil as you'll see.

[RBW] WTB nitto rear bag support

[Conway Bennett]

Thanks all!  I got a fair deal on a used R-10 and picked up a bagman expedition 
from overseas.  I'll report back.  As of now I'm thinking the Sam will get the 
nitto and tree top bag and the QB gets bagman and sackville.

Congratulations! I can only imagine how you're feeling. Perhaps one day
I'll be able to join you in the accomplishment.

[RBW] Re: WTB Mark's rack!

[Deacon Patrick]

Jon,

These are lovely racks, so folks tend to hold on to them, though they do 
pop up every other now and then for around $100 (but be quick, 'cause this 
group moves fast!). If you need it now, skip a dinner out and buy it from 
Rivendell, along with some handlebar tape or loose bits to get the "free" 
shipping and Bob's your uncle in a safe of houses. Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick
