Nice photos Taylor.

Spotted a few of your bikes at PBP. Loved the baby blue Riv custom. I rode in the 90 hour group on my lugged steel Vanilla. I was amazed by how many folks were riding fenderless racing bikes with non- functional luggage systems. It was great to spot the Rivs along the way. http://www.flickr.com/photos/archivalclothing/sets/72157627603510936/ On Sep 11, 5:44 pm, jeffrey kane jsk_onl...@mac.com wrote: Great set of pics, thanks so much .. dork question, but if you wouldn't mind: What saddle are you slogging all those miles on?
