Wonderful, Michael! I could have been the principle of your story, too. I'm pretty sure that's happened to me a few times, though I would've cut the seat post too short and had to buy another one. Tailwinds to your daughter on her beautiful new Cheviot. shoji On Friday, June 10, 2016 at

[RBW] Rivendell Choco-Moose Bars FS

Hi, I changed out my JA Choco-Moose bars for the Bullmoose bars when I received the bicycle. The shape is not for me. The bars are like new. I'll need a big box to ship, so that is why the shipping cost is high. $100 (net to me) + $20 shipping James Valiensi valie...@mac.com -- You received

Re: [RBW] Re: Speaking of Fenders

Pursuing the paradox of more (supple tire width, fenders, brake clearance of both without contact at rest), I just installed Paul Racers and Compass Stampede Passes on my fendered Rambouillet. The center mount Racer caliper does an amazing job of keeping clear of the space reserved for tire and
