James,
I was stopped about a month ago wearing what looked like street clothes.
They checked me out and asked if I had a felony record or was on probation.
I have long hair and a beard so perhaps I too looked dodgy.

Hey Group, wondering if anyone has any extra 700x50 Marathon Duremes
lying around and looking to sell. New or slightly used. Ive looked on
the interwebs and they seem hard to find. Are they discontinued?
thanks -Mike

Fortunately, the way many Rivs are set up (bags, racks, fenders, upright
bars, random trinkets twined on here and there) it would look wrong to wear
lycra on them. I know I sure as hell would feel weird wearing lycra.

Awhile back, I saw a rough looking guy wheel up to my shop, take a few deep
drags on his cigarette, before extinguishing it, and bringing his bike inside.

In terms of width it will depend on how wide/high your bars are (apologies
if that's obvious).
For me, the large is best because it fits my small Timbuk2 messenger bag.
I have to cram it into the medium. I don't like wearing the bag when
riding (though I do if the basket is full with other
proof that they don't make Brooks saddles in England any more.

I'm not Joe, but it's the rack for a Lyon attach-a-bike or whatever they're
called. Third wheeler, etc. The kind a kid would pedal, similar to a Burley

Hope that's clear. ;)

Ah, this profiling issue and the single stories we have for others...
When I think something is sketch, I mostly pay attention to: Does the bike
grossly not fit the rider? Is the rider totally wobbly when riding? (And

Back rack is as Eric described, the support structure for a
trailercycle. It's almost like an extra, inverted rear triangle of
seat/chainstays/dropouts - I wish Lyon had designed it to have a
little more utility when the trailer is not attached, but c'est la

Back on topic: I have a medium and large Wald, and I just got a large

I use it for extra grocery hauling
I zip-tied my Wald to a Platrack, then I just bolt the Platrack on and off
of the Cosmo as needed
But, I've not 'used' my Wald yet; I'm not a commuter, and most of my
rides are recreational; I intend to put it to work camping, but it's not

I've had good luck with 3M Super 77 or High Strength 90 spray adhesives. I

leave less of a mess if you decide to remove/replace the grips at some

I've used the large and medium on a Nitto front rack and the medium is more
secure that the large on the narrow rack, but it was never too big of a
deal either way. I then put the large on a VO Porteur rack. The platform

Hi Joe,
What year and model is that Trek? I just bought an 82 710 for my wife that I am

After chewing up one alum alloy chainring _ the middle 36-tooth one _ I
decided to go with Surly steel, and there are no downsides and maybe some
real advantages. It's got 5 thousand miles on it and looks shiny as the day
it was born. Of course, no noticeable wear. No shifting pins and ramps
Do you recall the cost of the steel Surly ring?
When you compare the cost of plain flat aluminum to comparable rings with
ramps'n'pins there seems to be quite a premium for the extra goodies.
Perhaps helpful with STI or similar but with friction the basic version
works fine for 10-12 tooth
