Are you using Pano? I've been very pleased with that app.
I like Hugin for stitching panoramas. Seems like there are several, for

I've only found one place in the US selling the S2C (coaster brake).
I'll try my LBS as I don't really want the coaster brake.
Anyone else know where to get these?

I think Grant has not been vocal enough about the 'dual purpose'

I'm also guessing that there will be significant sales volume based on

My problem with WTB saddles is the back is too flat (side to side),

from QBP, or find a place on
