Better stopping power might depend on the observer. I find that Vs do
stop better, maybe too better. If you only have one bike however, or you
have the same type of actuation on all you bikes, ie...long pull or short
pull then you'd probably get used to the extra power. I personally find V
grand happy ending, and I wouldn't have expected it, either.

Has anyone tried to recreate Rivendell's pea sage green color? And, if you
were successful, do you know the PPG or House of Kolor equivalents? (I'm
considering the color as an alternative to Schwinn's Campus Green as I have
a local frame builder respray an old Paramount frame.)
Thanks,

I've always thought it looked like the light sage pastel green that old

Having not seen a bike that color in person, I don't know if it's that
close or not, but, if I was having one repainted, I'd probably go w/ a

Max, very glad to hear you got your bike back. Christmas came early this year!
Michael, the CL ad was taken down it appears, unsurprisingly. Glad the PD did
its work. Don't steal bikes!

I doubt that. He's probably selling stolen goods because he is not employed,
skilled, or otherwise an income earner. That $10K + will be paid by taxpayers
for his Public Defender, probation officer, and the mostly needless paperwork
that will follow his slap-on-the-hands sentence. At least the

After all the fiddling I talked about above on my wife's bike, I
converted my Atlantis to V-brakes the long cable pull Tektro
levers. The previous brakes were Tekro 720 with Tekro's standard pull
levers. The braking effort is considerably less with the V-brakes,
and my arms don't wear out
FWIW: I've fretted about brakes for over 40 years, and I've used just about
every kind there is, and my conclusion is that the best brakes bar none
that I ever used -- equal to Vs and mech disks in power, better than single
pivots in modulation -- were the Riv set up IRD wide profile cantils on

I've seen a number of rear lights that come with adapters to put on the

should be an option you could explore.

I also had a flat in one of the first really wet rides I did last week.
Jack Brown Green, so no surprise. It was a small glass shard. I replaced
the rear tire with a Jack Brown Blue for the rainy season, and left the
front Green. I never get flats in the front tire. KOW...

Didn't the left arm/right turn signal originate with motor cars, where you
can't stick your right hand out of the right window when you are sitting in the
left seat? I've not conducted a rigorous experiment, but it seems to me that
any driver ought to be able to see a cyclist's right arm
