My LBS can order the Sturmey Archer two speed hubs from QBP.
I'm going to build it with a Mavic Open Sport rim to match the
existing Quickbeam rims.
The cogs, $3 each...certainly the cheapest part of this project. :-)
It will be interesting to see how well this works.

Hi, all!
I rode home last night in rain which was on/off throughout the 10+ mile ride.
It probably rained for half of the 55 minutes I was on the bike. It was slow
going even by *my* standards. 20mph headwind. Upright. That is,
your-back-against-the-chair's-back upright. Cape.

Indeed it will. Do tell when the deed is done. The more I think about this idea
the more I like it.
Bikes are great.

So true, BB, so true. I am a lucky guy -- in all respects. I also have the US

accommodating or even as scenic when it was a working Army base. The

Use a #90 jeans needle, or even a #100. Replace it frequently (which
you should do in any case). Even a cheap sewing machine should punch
through layers if you use the right needle.

I agree, finding the right material and machine are difficult!!!
Lee, there are tons of heavy duty machines on SF craigslist!
Also, ebay is really good and the shipping is decent.
If you are in SF, you can come over and try my machine out.

I think 10oz is too thin, but it depends on what you are trying to do.
Local fabric stores almost never have material that is strong enough
for what I want to do.
However, home sewing machines can't sew heavy fabric.
You need an industrial strength machine with a walking foot.

I have an old, original edition Acme (tm) saddle bag -- I would guess
that it's about the size of a Keven's bag -- made comparatively
crudely from the thick, tightly woven, heavily waxed canvas that Riv
used to sell for burrito wraps -- considerably thicker, tighter and
stiffer than the grey stuff
Adam A. is a SF-based rider who makes bags under the Zugster label. He's
done regular messenger bags for a while and then branched into rando-style
front bags. I was lucky enough to get in the queue for Rando Bag #003, which
he made from waxed cotton. I'm certainly biased in his favor, but feel

Let's meet at Zoka at 11am, and have a pow-wow then on where to go after we see
what the weather's like. (I know this is a dangerous idea...but my head is
empty of good ride ideas at the moment, other than strolling up the Burke to
Kenmore) From what Frank says if you want coffee at Zoka,
I should be there. Might be some ice on the side streets but I think
it should be mostly thawed by tomorrow.
