After being inspired by Doug’s post on mini-tours I put together a round
trip overnighter out of downtown San Diego. Catching the 8:30 am train for
Irvine and then returning to San Diego at 3 pm the following day. Upon
arrival in Irvine I followed the San Diego River Trail to the coast.
Jim, your's is the (nearly) thankless job of herding cats and you do it
with grace. Thank you!
With abandon,
Patrick

Brilliant trip, Curtis! Should I ever be homeless, I pray I have my

I just put the Stampede Pass tires on my Romulus, replacing a set of Ruffy
Tuffy's. My expectations were not particularly high but after two rides I am
very impressed. I haven't ridden the Jack Brown blues on my Rom but had them
on my Sam and then my Atlantis. I thought it was a good
I just received my custom frame bag from RuthWorks SF (Ely Rodriguez).
Wow, what an awesome bag! The quality is amazing, the fit couldn't be any
more precise... I absolutely love it. It's almost as if I asked Carradice

Yeah cyclotourist has a point Mike's Flickr image's have a series of a bike

Great pictures Manny. Andy is an awesome guy. I hope to make it to the Bay

I've been laid up with a broken foot for the past month. It's a bummer.

I prefer a short top-tube but I'm worried about how much seatpost will be
showing. I don't mind a lot of seatpost if the top-tube is sloped like a
modern MTB. Riv's 2/6 degrees just won't work with a lot of seatpost.
Actually, my primary concern is that I already have a set of Rich Lesnik
I have found that shoes with a flat rubber sole of the amber/brown type,
like boat shoes, give good contact on the Grip King pedals. Running shoes
not so much, and especially not in wet weather. My Timberland hiking boots,
a totally different sole from the boat shoes, have also proven to stick

Has anyone run cross levers or interrupter levers on Albas? Just
wondering...seems like a smart thing to do so you could use brakes when in
the low aero position. I suppose road levers would have to be shimmed to
fit the Albas, which are MTB size. Again, anybody do this successfully?

Are you on one end or the other? Gonna have a go at it? It's certainly as safe
as anything as long as you stay aware of your surroundings. NYC drivers are a
bit aggressive but generally aware of you. That's bad if they're out to get
you, but more often than not it's good.

Huh, that was the component I was thinking about, too. Can't ever see it
happening, but would be nice to put Jones bars on bikes. Or some of the
Salsa bars with really short reach.

If that Trek is a 52, the seatpost actually looks just about right.

just don't seem right anymore. Another funny thing though is that a lot of

I'm just shy of 6' tall and I've always thought of myself as short legged

has a seat-tube of 57.5cm and a S.O. of 83 and I'm perfectly comfortable
riding it. In fact, I like how little seat-tube is showing and
