Tosco is a compromise between the height I need from Boscos and that

There were lots of B bars in stock a few days ago, AFTER I got my bar, so I

How did you arrive at Tosco? They flare LESS than the Billie…

Well doggone it I think I need a new bar, too! You're right about how
awesome the Boscos are - I need and love most of that rise - but the

Hi Friends,
It has been unbelievably windy here in Vegas. My Billie Bars arrived yesterday
afternoon and I got them installed right away (which I documented in a
minimally helpful, mostly satirical video on Instagram). But, it was too windy
to ride. The weather still wasn’t cooperating today,

Chris - while there are other rim brake manufacturers (Paul, Tektro, etc.)
who are still making rim brakes, I think one of the concerns - and it has
been batted back and forth on this blog as well as by Grant on his own Blug
- is that if rim brakes disappear entirely (which I doubt) and

Hey all-
There have been some good suggestions on this thread. Let me throw in one
more and veer off from this (mostly) SLR discussion:
I'd recommend a nice fixed-lens rangefinder, most likely one from Japan
made in the 60s and 70s. You don't get the through-the-lens viewing of an

I've had them on my Roadini for several months. TB14 rims (17.5 ID). They
measure 36mm. Riv's page for this item notes that they all tend to measure
about 2mm smaller than listed. I like these tires a lot. They roll nice and
smooth and I don't have to worry about flats.

Hey Joe, I had a 50cm Orange Roadini...but if I'm being honest, if I had
any of the colours, I would have regretted selling those equally.

Is anyone running these?

they expand with more miles on them.

There is no practical reason at all that you couldn't run a disc-brake hub
with a rim-brake rim. Maybe you can make a valid objection for aesthetic
reasons, but it's hardly a reason for concern, IMHO.

While the Pentax K1000 is the go-to beginner's manual film SLR, I had one
for many years and was never really jazzed with the results. I have my

than the K1000 ever did. Maybe my K was bad? Anyway, I'd recommend the

More useful information; thanks again. Daughter wants to learn how to

Omer does a great job of testing and inspecting each item he sells, and the

That’s a little high for a T50. I recently bought one with a Canon 28mm lens
for $30 + shipping. Works great. These cameras are very common, so check around
for a better price.

Hello,
Looking to get rid of some of my extra saddles. Buyer pays shipping of
their choice (USPS, UPS, ect). Both saddles are in great shape.
$190 - Berthoud Aspin Open Saddle - Brown. It's been ridden just under 150
miles. Treated once on both sides with Obenaufs.
$90 - Selle Anatomica
SOLD!

Thanks, all; I am entirely camera-ignorant, since I gave up
photography about age 11 1/2 after starting to experiment with my

I am as ignorant of cameras as my daughter is of AM hubs. What do others

Will I have to buy a light meter separately?
John Hawrylak stated he thought my Norther Lyon would be the one bike I

My Norther Lyon is another perfect bike, but it's a perfect bike for a
