Tony,
That looks great! Enjoy the ride in this morning. The full moon was
hanging just above the trees as I left my house on my bike at 6 this
morning. A glorious morning to bike commute and on a New-Bombadil, too,
enjoy!
I look forward to seeing the bike in person.

Hi All,
I was interested in buying a pair of either the pants or the knickers but

Bicycle Fixations has a couple of knickers models, I think. Me, I like the
old, no longer produced, hemp version better than the classic wool ones;
one pair of those I owned wore through in the leg rather quickly, though
this may have been a fluke.
They are having a sale on one model.

This is a separate but related question. Who, if anyone, makes knickers or
shorts that rise high enough in the rear (ie, high waist or low crotch) so
that they feel comfortable and cover adequately when you are bent over in

For what it's worth, I moved to a 42/28 setup on the cranks now, and I'm

original 44 ring, or the 14-tooth shift that stressed the derailleur.
