And sometimes you really do have to know. For example, shift cables fray and
need periodic replacement. Even with bar end shifters (which all those bikes
have) where a fraying cable's stray ends will poke you in the finger and alert
you to impending failure before it
Like you, I have a big noggin. Like you, I picked up a cheap Bell helmet
at my LBS. I got the XLV, which is what they had.
It's been a good helmet for almost a year. However, the adjustable pads at
the crown are simply falling apart. The velcro has separated from the
fuzzy cloth padding.

I keep a replacement shift cable in my saddlebags. They are quite
inexpensive and don't take up much space.

coming Saturday in western MA? I will be riding the 180k course on my

in the last couple of years, but was curious if there would be any this

Actually, I've no idea. This latest chain all I did was size it and attach
it with the quick links, so no links were loosened in the process. Both
chains that broke were KMC, neither was single speed.

I own a Black Mountain Cycles road bike, and like it a whole lot. I think
it's the deal of the century for $600, and Mike Varley is great to work
with. It doesn't look anywhere near as swank as a Roadeo, and I figure
it's got to be a bit heavier, and stiffer, but it's a darn fine road bike
Thanks for the compliments on my bikes. They are a real joy to ride.
The Roadeo has Jack Browns 33's on Mavic Open Pro rims. Yeah, the picture
does make them look fairly large.

The geometry of these are very close to a Roadeo and the frame is very
light. Overall a very nice bike for a great price.

I'll third that. The Black Mountain frames are great. Trying to convince a
friend to take a stab at bidding on it. But I think he is going to wait it out
for a big Hillborne. So if anyone is looking to pass on a 62 or 64 Sam send a
note my way.

Remember way back a time ago when some folks (9, or maybe it was 10)
plopped down cash money for a Rivendell design sight unseen? This turned
out to be an Appaloosa-type bike, as I recall, but I never heard much
afterward about people receiving their bikes. Does anyone here have one?

I didn't want it to come to this, since I really like my SaddleSack medium
bag, but since I'm now obsessed with trying a good handebar bag, I'll trade the
bag towards your Sackville Barsack, preferably with Nitto Rack.

Welcome to the group. In addition to connecting with other Rivendell
riders in your area, you can also make contact with people in other areas
as your travel plans develop. There's nothing like local knowledge when in

Our man Pudge got a Mystery Bike. When I visited Riv HQ, they indicated
the production version of the Mystery Bike is the Appaloosa. I saw the
Appaloosa headbadge, and saw the final prototypes in three sizes and
three colors. I expect those will roll out and become available soonish?
