One of the most surprising things about doing bicycle tours is seeing the bikes
others are touring on. So few people are on anything even resembling a proper
touring bike. I've seen quite a few sub-$100 bikes headed one way or another
across our great country. And everyone seems to be having a
Hi Will. Too big for me, but I want to ask how you like Boscos on the Sam.
I have a 60cm green V1 Sam that feels just a little big for me despite a

I've used drop bars all my life, so can't extrapolate my experience very

Ugh, I know. I've had a bike rack and it didn't help at all.

Don't do it! My wife and I live in a small one bedroom and I built a 2x4 double
decker bike holder that keeps 4 bikes. All situations are different, but a wall
mount can do wonders. It may be worth the security deposit hit to put some
holes in the wall to avoid the regret of selling a crazy
I've had a couple bikes that I used clamp on water bottle cages on.
They used to come with clamps that looked very similar to cable guide clamps
but had a little dimple instead of a channel.
I used them from the early 70s up through the late 90s.
They were the only thing I used when frames
Takashi,
Those are some gorgeous photographs! Looks like everyone had a great time.

Click around those photos. There's a kid wearing a Rivendell cap. Looks
like a family camping across eastern Oregon. He's riding a tandem with a
kid tag-a-long. 2 small kids & plenty of luggage. Large tent plus all the
comforts of home. One shot shows a barn with the name "Shaniko" on it.

Hello RBW GG,
I have some of the 12degree downsweep bosco bullmooses that I'd like to
trade for the regular downsweep (I think it's 6degree but not sure) ones.
Mine are in fine condition - the lower part of them is wrapped with black
newbaums for max grippage. Plz text me at (310) 963-6959 if

Hi folks,
For sale is 56cm Rivendell Rambouillet.
It is beausausaged here and there where normally expected, nevertheless it
is in sound and intact condition. No dings or dents, just paint scratches
and blemishes here and there.
NEVER crashed and dropped it.
I'm asking $600 dollars for it.

Leah,
I wonder if your new tires have a taller profile than the old ones and that
might be causing all the scraping of pebbles and noise from sand and
gravel scraping the fenders.
My Sam and Cheviot have the same tires. The Sam has P45 fenders and I hear
pebbles, & sand scraping the fender all
Thanks for this link Takashi. Delicious!!! If the images of these three

You'd be surprised by how many bikes/customers roll into the shop and

Point being, like many have said, you can do a lot with a little. The Chev

in with my load on the back and my water bottle on the

Seems like you may be "sticking" with them for awhile indeed! Curiously,
the Racer X tires is marketed as a bmx ties (Betty BMXers). The extra
grippiness is part of the design and the rubber has been "chemically etched"
just in case enouh needs a little more help.
