It is a folder, so you take take BART with it, maybe even MUNI

You can read about them on this site. I would like to get a set of these some
day. I have White Ind hubs on a wheelset and they perform very well.

I was once a bicycle weight addict. In hindsight, I was lucky that it
was severely limited by lightness of pocket. Now, I'm more interested
in craftsmanship than weight.

I've seen a few photos of folks' Rivs set up with panniers only on the

So, I'll throw my .02 cents (or is that 2 lbs) in...
I have a 57cm Bleriot with the standard Riv build (bar ends, LX rear,

The name has been bought and is still in use but it is not a coninutation of
the same company. I believe that all the original Suntour tooling was
destroyed when the original company shut down.

Hi George,
I still use quite a bit of old Suntour stuff. While the name has been
resurrected of late, the stuff that you are asking about is sometimes
referred to today by using the parent company's name ie: Maeda Corp.
All pretty nice gear, but they did not survive the equipment change to

It's not quite the same company. The current SR-Suntour brand seems to
be mostly used as OE on low and moderately priced bikes.

It's now SR SunTour see http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com for the

My Raleigh One Way has SunTour cranks (chainrings in SR parlance).

They're still around, now called SR SunTour. I have SunTour cranks

I honestly don't know what my various bicycles weigh. I know what I

Since I started setting my bikes up for comfort and versatility I
haven't really thought about the weight. My gearing allows me to get
up most any hill. I suppose if I used a roof rack o

Thanks, Steve. A sad story. I still have a Cyclone GT derailler, now

The Tom Ritchie Tom Slick comes in a 26 x 1.4. I had the 1" version
and found them to roll very well, truly like a "skinny racing tire".
Not as flat resistant as a Schwalbe, though. I've have a 1-1/4" Forte

Hey everyone--
I have a 46cm Soba bar and a 46cm Noodle bar. I would like to trade
either of them for the equivalent in a 44cm. I'm hoping there's
someone out there looking to trade up to a larger size.
Thanks!
