Michael,
I've added location information to the photo:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/77318553@N08/10511863834/
If you click where it says Agematsu-machi, Nagano Prefecture, JP, it will
show a map.
I hope it helps.
Nagano is an inland prefecture with many mountains, and elevation is high
mostly.
Am using a reverse rise LX on my Sam Hillborne with a 36t in the rear for
over a year with no problem. Like Jim states, on some the upper pulley
might get awfully close to the 36t cog. But it hasn't been an issue for me
yet. Hopefully it won't.
Am not sure the Shadow designation is for the 36t
My apologies and fantastic! The Utes did get around. So much for my cursory
Google search to see if there were multiples. I'm surprised I did not know that
as we used to backcountry ski near Green Mountain Res. All the time in college.
With abandon,
Patrick

A Windsor like that one was my first “nice” bike in about 1973. I actually

I eventually sold the Windsor when I got a car in high school. I liked that
