Bailey's Wild Ass Jeans. Not my first choice for riding, but by far the
best bang for the buck for work pants. I have several pairs of the double
layer for timber work that I do.
Forgot to mention: The Kelty is free standing, meaning you can set it up
without using any stakes, and the fly is still off of the netting. Only
you can't use the vestibules. The BA requires about 5-6 stakes with the
fly section to keep it off of the netting, plus you have some guy-cords
I have two smaller tents that get pressed into service for bike camping.
The first is a used Kelty Gunnison 2 person that runs about 4 pounds and

Take a look at a Montbell bag. They have diagonal elastic seams which
normally keeps the bag snug against the body (quicker to heat up) but will
also expand when you stretch out. I believe they are now made in Viet Nam.

I have used Cane Creek interrupter levers with V brakes. While not the
best for stopping power because of the shorter cable pull, they will slow
the bike if the pads are set fairly close. The "regular" levers were the
long pulls offered by Tektro, and one could feel the difference. Another

Agreed. Try a lighter wheelset with lighter tires before springing for a
new frame. The LHT is a tank, but you'll gain more first by thinning down
the components. After that you can go for a lighter frame for additional
