The good news is, if you don't get your asking price you can keep your bike and
tell the family you tried.

Too bad that you had to leave early, but at least you showed up and met
great people!
I'm dreaming of visiting USA and joining you Rivsters someday...

Hello RBW - list
I'm an enthusiast from Sweden who is visiting the Bay Area in September. I'm
interested in riding from Sacramento to San Fransisco I'm interested to get
information regarding my planned route where should I plan to ride. Is it any
dangerous passage that I should try to avoid?
I haven't ridden that section but the Adventure Cycling Association has a
route map that takes you from Reno, Sacramento, to SF. You should check
there because it may be a good option.

Sorry about being laid off. Was it really a coin toss between those two
bikes? I'd be curious of the thought process behind the Sophie's Choice.
Not really my size but the Hunq is one of the most compelling bikes Riv
makes.

Patrick,
Thank you for coming up with great idea.
I am enjoying other people's great photos.
Today I packed sandwiches and coffee-brewing utensils in pannier bags, and
set out for a ride.
It started raining earlier than expected, so I had to go back home, and
ended up eating lunch in my room.
Carl:
I have a 200-kilometer route from Davis (just west of Sacramento) to San
Francisco via Napa, Sonoma, Petaluma, Fairfax, and Sausalito.
My friends and I have ridden this many times. The ride from Davis to San
Francisco typically takes us about 12 hours, including stops for breakfast and
Mobile Bill, I can chime in for a moment on the 26 tires versus the
650B's. I have 2 650B bikes—a Saluki like you and a proto Bleriot set up
as a single speed. when I won the raffle custom, with my height and custom
desires (55mm tires fenders, top tube, diagatube/lng wheelbase, 650B
If it was my size this would be perfectly cromulent timing. I'm sorry to hear
about being laid off. I hope you're able to move it!

Fantastic, Takashi! I'm not sure I get credit for the idea, but wherever it
came from, it's a fun one!
I love your fog and rain photos. It looks like a great ride. Do you get
lightening storms as part of your rain? If you get another ride, let us
know, were here virtually all weekend! Grin.
You're using cromulent on a list-serve of retro-grouches? You've got
chutzpah! Grin.

I can't complain at all... it was really magical being up there, even for
that short time. But some regret mixed in, can't avoid that!

My gut says go with the hunq. It would be nice to have the ability to swap
wheels and tires with the saluki but with the money you save you can easily buy
another used wheelset and tires.
The price difference is so substantial that I wouldn't spend too long think
about this. Of course, I own

Tour winners use chains even thinner. Usually chains break because of a
connection error. Avoid those and wholly unforeseeable manufacturing errors
and you should be fine. Me, I no longer break chains; I always use
masterlinks.
Glad it wasn't worse.
On Sun, Jul 13, 2014 at 11:15 AM, Deacon
Agree with Patrick M., probably an installation issue. Sheldon Brown says
somewhere that modern 8/9/10 speed chains are actually stronger than single
speed chains, due to all the engineering that has to go into them to make
them strong enough to handle shifts under load.
On Sun, Jul 13, 2014 at
Good to hear. All I did with this chain was remove links to the right
length, but I may have needed to add a link back in due to learning curve.
So, no doubt user error.

If you removed links you had to rejoin the chain and it is probable that when
ypu did so you screwed up.

Ouch. Sorry abt the toe.
As others point out, standard chains should be more than strong enough for
any of us. I think the only reason to use 1/8in chain is so you can also go
with 1/8in cog and chainring. The added surface area should make em last
longer, and I like the look. No easy changing
Anyone have a line on old corduroy (or even velvet!) mountaineering
knickers? Like Gaston Rebuffat
(http://www.pinterest.com/pin/216102482092532557/) That's what I'd love.
But the old Woolrich ones that I managed to find are sized for
six-footers, and I am wee.
