Any problems If I use Tectron Sno-Seal (beeswax paste) on a new, previously
unsealed Brooks honey-colored saddle? I'm out of both Proofide and Obeneuf

for a small container.
Thanks for your advice.

Selling my Frost River canvas panniers. They are in very good

no worse for the wear. Replaced the strings with Irish straps.
Beautiful very well made panniers, I'm just moving to a different

Much depends on how well the Friday or the mixte fit you.
Definite warming trend here in Minnesota this past week. Warm enough to do
maintenance on the Same Hillborne and get in a couple of 30 mile jaunts.

Sorry it's been a while since I rode with drop bars but don't they have
