[RBW] Backup Bikes
When I was hit by a car and Bleriot was mangled, the backup bike (1971 Gitane TdF) was recalled from the daughter's shed. She had kidnapped it, but wasn't using it. Borrowed a 700c generator hub wheel from a friend, replaced the rear wheel with one which had a functioning hub (the Helicomatic hub died), and used it as a commuter for several months until Bleriot returned, all repaired and repainted. Had to remember how to use downtube shifters :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Backup Bikes
Today was a backup bike day. Had a slow leak in the tubeless (front tire amazingly!?) that is in need of a refill of Stans, but I needed to run an errand. Hopped on the old Stumpy and had a good ride into town. For those of you contemplating another set of wheels or a different cockpit, get another bike (or keep your old one). It comes in handy - you won't regret it...

Re: [RBW] Backup Bikes
I'm riding the backup bike tomorrow because it's too cold in the garage to work on the primary bike. So I dropped it off at the shop instead and will ride #2. Forecast high is 41 with a stiff north wind. Let's go ride! On Dec 30, 2014 9:27 PM, Brian Hanson stone...@gmail.com wrote: Today was a backup bike day.

Re: [RBW] Backup Bikes
Sounds balmy! We had a high today of -1˚F. I was deeply disappointed the brain was blown up before I could get out in the crisp goodness. The good news is it's -15˚F now, so I have another shot at it on the morrow!
