[RBW] Chicago shops

2012-11-21 Thread Ken Karpowicz

Any recommendations on Chicago area bike shops leaning less towards, or a good 
combination of, the mass market and more towards, maybe, fixed and 
single-speed, more Bobish and Rivish?

Thanks for any help.

[RBW] Brooks and Tectron

2012-03-11 Thread Ken Karpowicz
Any problems If I use Tectron Sno-Seal (beeswax paste) on a new, previously 
unsealed Brooks honey-colored saddle?  I'm out of both Proofide and Obeneuf 
wax.  The local REI only has the Tectron and I don't want to pay for shipping 
for a small container.

Thanks for your advice.

[RBW] OT: apartment hunting near El Segundo, CA

2011-07-16 Thread ken karpowicz
Reaching out here...my son (23, recent mechanical engineering graduate of 
Georgia Tech) is taking a job in El Segundo.  He's been online searching a few 
sites for apartments in the nearby areas.  His job site is right at a train 
stop and he's looking for a place which will let him do mass transit and 
bicycle and not drive.

Anyone have any advice/leads/recommendations?

Thanks for any help and sorry for the OT post (although I did mention 
bicycling!)

[RBW] Re: shorts with a fly?

2011-06-12 Thread ken karpowicz
The shorts would be for motorcycling, to be worn under leathers.  The bicycle 
shorts I wear for bicycling and sometimes wear for motorcycling don't have the 
front opening.  Makes for a challenging situation at pee breaks.  And, 
shorts-with-a-fly would make bicycling pit stops a little easier, I skuppose.

I'm looking for padded riding shorts with a front fly. (Its a guy thing, I

[RBW] WTB: Mark's Rack

2010-11-27 Thread karpowicz
If you have one you don't need and aren't using but you could use extra cash 
during the holiday season I'm interested in buying. Let me know how much you 
want plus shipping to 06002.

Or, I'm interested in any similar front rack which will fit around sidepull 
brakes.

Photos would be nice.

Thanks.

[RBW] long low

2010-08-30 Thread karpowicz
My LL dates from 1999, built by Joe Starck, painted by Joe Bell (sage green, 
contrasting head tube and insets)  My desire was for a sport-touring bike, 
meaning that every once in a while I'd load up with more than the Carradice bag 
off the saddle, option to fit fenders (which I did) with wider tires (running 
700 x 30 now) using the long reach sidepull brakes.  Its a joy to ride, as I 
suppose all Rivendell bikes are.  I think when I ordered the frameset in 1998 
the cost was $1200.  I'm not sure when this model was phased-out but at the 
time it was the decision between the LL custom or standard size/standard paint 
Heron.  I wish I would have had the money to have bought one of each.
