[RBW] Re: Off topic question: portable cd players

How small do you really need? Any DVD player will play audio CD's and some of them are pretty compact. Google says you should be able to pick one up at Target or Walmart in the $30 range. I'd rather use a player designed for domestic use than a portable, if only for the remote control.

[RBW] Riv riders in Richmond today (MLK Rich City Ride)

It was a treat not only to see so many bicyclists turn out for the Rich City Rides event today (were we 70? 80?), but also to see so many Rivendell riders. A fun time, slow to get rolling like all rides, but good company and an especially important cause. Now more than ever...

IgorMatt C has a 23"1987 Voyaguer and the TT is probably the same as a Passage.  The 21" Voyaguer has a 54.4cm TTL.    The 1982 catalog shows tables fro Standard and custom Paramount Touring models.  The TTL increase 1 to 1-1/2" for a frame size change of 2", fro 21 to 23".  So the TTL on a 23"

If you got the money no reason not go Paul's, but TRPs are lighter and have dual action calipers which can be adjusted separately. Provides more even wear, and you're not essentially bending the rotor to one arm to stop. It can also be easily adjusted by the cable barrel adjuster as pads wear.
