Re: [RBW] Re: Staff Bikes - Mark's Bontrager
And the burrito wrap seems to come loose and get dropped- maybe just for me? Much higher risk to get lost. I keep just the essentials and tie it up with hemp twine and then use the strap through the twine. It takes a few extra minutes to open but is much more secure, gives me some twine if I need it, and what's not to like about twine! Alas no shellac.

Re: [RBW] Re: Staff Bikes - Mark's Bontrager
This could be a good thread ideaWhat's your favorite stayph bike? I like Mark's bikes, especially the custom, but I have to say my favorite is Brian's Hunqapillar and second would be Jenny's Hilsen. I just really like that small frame, double top tube combined with the color of the frame. Great bikes.

Re: [RBW] Re: Staff Bikes - Mark's Bontrager
there are those among us who love the Rivendell bikes but prefer more modern accouterments and style. Also thanks for the new word. Didn't know what a koan was until today. ~mike Carlsbad Ca.

Re: [RBW] Re: Staff Bikes - Mark's Bontrager
+1 for Burrito wraps... I use that exclusively on my open-wheeled bike. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/6909297624/in/set-72157604046492434 It doesn't bounce around too much, but enough. Never came loose. On the rough stuff bike, I always have one as well, but usually keep it in a bag or rack due to potential to carry other things. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/4320665507/ I'll often use toe straps to hold it on, multiple redundancies and such. Never a problem with that one either. On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 9:29 AM, Christopher Murray chrispmurra...@gmail.com wrote: And the burrito wrap seems to come loose and get dropped- maybe just for me?
