How’d I miss the banjo recommendations. If not super musically inclined, like
me, maybe check out a banjolele. It’s tiny and a mix of a banjo and ukulele.
Sounds great and it’s Pretty easy to learn 4 or 5 songs, where more complex
instruments have discouraged me.

Feeling these feelings now too.
Film photography with cheapish cameras has been happening recently. I’m not a

different and analog and easy these days. You can spend a lot of time looking
at cameras (see my recent post),

When the kid was younger, we did kung fu as a family. I liked that pretty

My orchestra played with a bluegrass band at my last concert. It was great
fun. I also play mandolin ok, since the fingering is the same as the
violin, but I just can't pick very quickly. Getting the family to play
together is really priceless.

I have a first generation (2006) Waterford Homer (the poem era). I believe
that a characteristic of these first Homers is the lack of a kickstand
plate. I'm not sure exactly when the plate was added, but it was soon
thereafter. I hope I'm not wrong.

Toshi,
Surely you are not discounting banjo music. Toss in a fiddle and a good
time will be had. Grin. I started well into my fifties. Really enjoying
the first instrument I am learning.
Enjoy,

Music hasn't been mentioned (much if at all). It's never too late to learn

playing in orchestras now). I'm a serviceable violinist, but am teaching
myself to play piano. If I have a keyboard and Bach music, I could
My other hobby is collecting antique vending machines, most (but not all)
of them designed to sell gum, candy, or peanuts. They're much smaller than
bikes so I can have more, but---unlike bikes---they're completely useless
for anything other than looking at. I *do* like to do that, though.
Anyone know how to identify Toyo vs Waterford Homers. I have two second hand
single top tube versions. Not that it matters at all to me personally but the
question has been asked of me regarding selling. Serial number? Lugs? Pump
pegs? Anything?

It’s not a bad idea. I do get more joy from giving things away than the
cash brings. In the past few months I’ve given my Scott Sub 10 belt drive
bike to a young couple and that makes me very happy.
However in this instance I need to raise some money to fund another bike
project without

I have a number of activities but will mention one that has tied in with
riding in the past. I became a radio fan and DXer in my teens and have
retained an interest through today. My interest in mostly AM/MW, and
shortwave. I have carried a small portable on my rides, either overnights,
or up
I hope you are able to get back on the bike before too long.
Me, if I couldn't ride, I'd walk, with or without dog, with kids if mine
was still at home. Of course, this is much easier if you live up against
good walking spaces, as I do. But walking involves nothing more than a good
pair of shoes
I turned to photography during my riding downturns. Kids make for ready
models and the technology scratched the itch to fiddle with something
mechanical. Landscape photography got me out and moving again. When you
heal, you can combine both hobbies by riding to shoots.

Snowpeak Titantium French Press.
Used on maybe three overnight trips. Clean except for a tiny bit of coffee
oil and the typical discoloration from an alcohol stove. No dents or like
that. You'll be happy with it. I'm going back to a drip cone.
Figure $36 shipped. It's Ti, so shipping

I'd answer, but I kind of want to buy it, so I feel like that presents a

The OP isn't riding it because it's too small, and he wants to sell it but
isn't sure how much to ask; obviously, he wants to get a good price for it.
Answering his question will sure as hell will make a different to his
wallet! And, just possibly, increase his options for a replacement, no

John, although the bike doesn't fit you, it doesn't sound like you really
want to sell it, or at least go through "the process" of sale and all that
may include. Who says you have to sell it and for what cost , and what
makes them some sort of authority over your own sense ? Hell, you
I’d ballpark the frame fork headset and bars at like $1600. To replicate the
build you buyer would need to budget around $4500 but most buyers prefer to do
their own thing. If you insist on selling it complete you’ll be in the $2600 to
$3000 range I suspect.
If it were me I would sell bags

It is a mixed bag as there are exceptions to what sizes have a double top
tube. I have a 65cm A. Homer Hilsen (MUSA) that is a single top tube. I
did not request a single top tube, as I purhcased it from Rivendell after
it was built. The bike may be a little big for me, but the secondary

For me it is an appearance thing! The doy top tube just doesn't do anything for

Ryan is correct -- although most of the larger sizes of the Toyo and
Waterford Homers came with two top tubes, exceptions exist. I believe all
of the larger (61.5, 64 cm) MIT Homers have the swooping second top tube --
