Re: [RBW] Re: shipbikes.com vs. bikeflights.com

[Conor Skelding]

Just used Shipbikes for the first time on Saturday (after it quoted me $62
for the west suburbs of Chicago to Brooklyn compared to Bikeflights $87).

Now the Fedex tracking page shows an "exception," which I've never seen
before. Anyone know what this means?

They also have a complete Sam (link
),
which having seen IRL is nice (too small for me).

Re: [RBW] Re: San Diego Bike Rides

[Conor Skelding]

If you're a single male, maybe ride to San Ysidro, walk your bike across
the border, and bike across Tijuana to the beach?

Re: [RBW] Make my AHH look less tempting!

[Conor Skelding]

This doesn't go to the camouflage but to the theft problem -- insure it?
Either renters insurance that covers a bike up to that cost (or add a rider
to your regular police), or try Velosurance (no experience with them).

[RBW] WTB -- BOBish bike. And -- thoughts on this Romlus FS?

[Conor Skelding]

New to the list, and very grateful to have found my way to the 
BOB/Riv/unracer subculture. Short tours and commutes and rides for errands 
have been how I've biked since I was a kid, and it was welcome to see this 
all expressed as a coherent ideology..

I've had my 2008 Jamis Aurora (cromoly steel) touring bike since that year, 
and am now looking for a new (to me) bike.

If anyone is looking to sell a BOBish bike, in New York City or the region, 
please let me know. I'm not looking for the perfect RB-1 at this point in 
my life. Missed the bike boom by a few years, and am looking for a 
venerable steel frame from the 70s-90s. Projects welcome.

Saw this listing on local CL. Thoughts?
