Hi all,
Please excuse me for cross-posting. I've decided to sell my 68cm Atlantis
frameset. I purchased it in 2007 and it's a Toyo built unit with the
rounded lugs. It's been well used but I had it repainted by a local frame
builder, Chris Kvale, two years ago. I've experienced multiple instances
Steve - thanks for reminding me of the LX5. Had completely forgotten
about it. Have an LX3. While I love the image quality, hate the

settings. User error, but it
Ride the Rockies starts weekend next. Is anyone from this group going to be
there?
So I am between two bikes, a standard Rivendell road and a Legolas.
The Legolas has longboard fenders on it, so the thought is I will take the
road if the weather forecast is dry, the Legolas if wet.
I like
Lobo model here. Actually don't use the bladder much, opting to put
in an extra water bottle and more food instead.
Right now the bladder is in the freezer and if I use it again it will

I'll be there! I've done RTR almost every year since 1993.
I've not ridden the dirt section in question, but the other dirt roads they've
used in the past have actually been smoother than most of the pavement. They
spray some kind of chemical binder on the road ahead of time.

My favorite bargain cranks are Shimano's FC-R4550. At one point, I had three
of them in service, but I'm down to just two sets (I sold one of the bikes).
The 4550s are non-series components, and can be purchased quite cheaply online.
The inner (34t) chainring has proved to be quite durable,
My 64 cm Rivendell custom frame and fork is offered once again for sale at a

I've been riding the Herse cranks for a few months now, and really like
them... I went with a 48/30. My main reason for getting them was the desire
for a compact double with a smaller-than-34 (I ride in the Berkeley Hills a
lot... love my 30t!). Shifting up for the 18-tooth jump works nicely.
Hi Patrick,
I have a lot of history with Camelbacks from more more dedicated mountain
bike days. I think they're critical for this type of riding 'cause on most
technical rides you can afford to take your eyes off the trail to reach
your water bottle. Over time however, I've come to despise

Are you asking if Paul's canti levers are better then shimano canti levers? I
feel the Paul's are nicer finished but both work fine.

No experience with Paul canti levers or brakes. But I can tell you that Paul
Love Levers are just plain better than the cheap Shimano levers I use on one of
my cockpits (the brakes are Paul Motolites in both cases).
The Love Levers are significantly stiffer and feel more directly connected to
Jacks and fenders. There's no downside to having them both and they might
make your six days in the saddle a lot more pleasant.
