One more polishing question: how do you get the cassette and cranks so
clean (especially in the deep recesses of the nooks and crannies)? The
shine of the drivetrain and hubs is impressive.
When are you publishing your photo book? :-)

Thank you for the link, George.
The Worker looks like it would be a very good option for sunny riding.

I'm curious about all those wide brimmed hats for riding. I just has some

specified 3 cm brims, because when I get any hat pulled down securely, any
normal brim blocks my sight while riding. The 4 cms are good, but 3 cm would

Riv (grant?) mentions it in their (his?) latest Knothole post, in

looks nice, like a campee touring rack with an extended porteur

in the $200 price point, given

One more remark: Any problem I've had with brakes has been, largely, in the

makes a huge difference for the formerly mushy rear mechanical disk on

Two or three of us are coming from the Richmond, Virginia area. I
went last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. Interesting
mix of people, young and old, tatts and toupees, a very friendly
group. The builders were very accessible and engaging and eagerly
answered questions.

I already have a VO porteur rack, and love it. I'm still looking for
the perfect bag. What I first wanted was one of the Hershberger
baskets that sat on the porteur, but those aren't being made any
longer. I also considered a Zugster porteur bag, but their waiting
list is ridiculously long.
I love my MAFACs, personally, they are great brakes, but the Dia Compe/
Weinmanns work just as well. The finish on the Dia Compes is superior
in many cases, IMHO. They are also around in massive piles at used
bike shops (around here anyway). Braking is very good, in my opinion,
with lots of
