Agreed. My PBH is also an 89 and I ride a 62 Rambou, but sometimes wish

You might be interested in some of the bicycle clothing products from

I just picked up some 140 weight shirts from the IceBreaker retail

Here's how I find hotels for cheap in SF--go to Priceline.com and bid
on a room. I've stayed at the Hyatt by the Embarcadero for $100 per
night (less than half the standard rate) and at several boutique
hotels for $85 (again, less than half the standard rate). When you
bid, specify that
There are hotels in older buildings that cater to European tourists in
SF and are in the $100 per night range, which in my experience is
pretty cheap for lodging in a big city. Hotel Rex, Hotel Carlton, Post

With regard to puncture resistance, I highly recommend spending $4 on
a roll of one inch Gorilla tape and applying it to the inside of the
