Re: [RBW] WTB: Old School Grundens Poncho size L

[john Bokman]

Patrick, thanks for the advice. i thought of using pennies sewn into the fabric 
bottom. Maybe my wife will try this (she’s the seamstress, not me; I can only 
use a speedy stitcher sewing awl to ugly effect). Good to hear about your rain. 
Here in Portland, we are getting rain today for the first time in months, and 
it must be doing wonders for the terrible fires in the area. Just yesterday, so 
smokey one didn’t want to venture out doors. Today, blessed rainfall. So Hurrah 
here, too.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Old School Grundens Poncho size L

[Patrick Moore]

FWIW: John, I tried heavy ponchos, including Carradice's canvas Ducksback
and the heavy nylon yellow one; at least here in ABQ, NM, where most of our
rain comes in the summer time, I found them too hot. So I substituted the
lightweight and cheap Campmore bicycle poncho (no longer sold, I
understand) and attached 2 stacks of washers to the rear bottom. Even in
high winds, this keeps the skirts in place.

Our monsoon is still monsooning! Hurrah! It seems to have shifted over the
last 25 years from a late June through August period to a late July through
September period; we've been getting short but heavy downpours during the
last few days. We may make the 9" citywide average this year!)

[RBW] WTB: Old School Grundens Poncho size L

[John Bokman]

Hi All. My wife uses the New School Grundens for her commute; I'm trying to 
find her an Old School cape. Reason being, she had an Old School, loved it, 
and it was stolen when her bike was stolen (It was left in the carradice 
saddlebag). I got her a New School as a replacement, but it's a new design, 
and not as heavy as the Old School, and therefore, inferior. It rides up in 
the wind, and she finds it more cumbersome. It's been said before, but 
Ponchos need to be HEAVY to work well. I'd get her a Carradice waxed cotton 
poncho, but I want her to be visible, and it certainly is not, especially 
in Portland, Oregon. So if anyone bought an Old School Poncho they don't 
use and want to part with, let me know, please. 

J.
