Ten years? I'd say that is pretty good for a hard use product. Those
skinny wires don't allow much surface area for brazing but it would be
a simple fix that nearly any frame builder could do in ten minutes. I

Jeremy:
The smaller wheel size allows me to ride (and stand over) a larger size frame
than I could otherwise manage. Since the seat tube of the larger frame is
longer than a normal size frame for me, less seat post extends out of it.
Thanks for the kind comments too!

Ah, that makes sense. I guess standover issues never occur to me,
having such long legs that I've never really met a frame I couldn't
stand over.
Again, that's an awesome looking ride.

Yea.it is a bummer and you are correct after I thought about it,
maybe Nitto could use the feedback to improve the apparent weak spot
at the point where it is brazed. Maybe a larger fillet or higher temp
brazing. Do they use silver or brass on these I wonder?

Hi,
Has anyone ever heard of or approached Brooks about making a line of

I believe Honus Wagner was immortalized on a card that came with a
tobacco product. Perhaps you should light up.

I changed from Noodle bars. I've ridden drops on everything this side
of my MTB for a long as I can remember. A brief experiment with
moustache bars last year didn't work out.
My concern is that I already had a 12cm stem on the bike. The All-

Ooops! I don't know what happened!!!
As I was writing, I would imagine that the hides would be better
quality provided they were processed correctly.
Anytime an animal is allowed to roam and feed naturally and grow
normally they seem to have less disease and are generally healthier.

As admirable as your intentions may be, you are asking for material

This looks great, thanks for the photos. I have a similar-era 700c
Rivendell that I am considering for a 650b conversion. I have not done
it yet but I still might this summer. Are the Tektros the only brakes
that are long enough to allow the conversion work?
Thanks!
