This was perhaps the most fun ride I have ever done. I looked on the OSM bike map for the area and discovered that the creek intersects a major road 6 km farther upstream, so perhaps we'll try to ride up the creek all the way next time, but I'll think I'll switch to the Fisher with its 50mm tires

In the early 50's my older brother was hit by an uninsured motorist while riding two on a bike. He spent nine months in a cast which covered his (favored) left arm torso. Two rounds of major surgery. So these warnings were given for a reason. Anyway, he did learn to write with his right

Looks sweet with the red Hetres, what size fenders are those? They look really close to the bridge on the top of those brakes so not sure if you could run anything bigger or something in metal that isnt as giving as the chromoplastic. On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 9:39 AM, Thomas Nezovich t...@cox.net

Yes, they are close to bridge and they droop forward some too probably due to the old daruma I'm playing with. I found the daruma on an old set of fenders a friend used on PBP in 1991. I will re-rivet the angle bracket back on soon. I think they are P55 originally used with 26x1.5 and later
