Thanks for the link to that documentation. I believe mine is a 54cm 2014 model. It looks like I got the newer blue color with the older fork. It's a bridge model, I guess! On Wed, May 15, 2024 at 9:07 AM Valerie Yates wrote: > Following up from a different thread re offshoot discussion of the

I bought mine from a friend of a friend and I've done a bit of poking around on the history of the San Marcos but I still don't fully understand the evolution of the fork and color. I used the Velo Orange band clamps for the third water bottle cage. It's been rock solid and handy having the

As a fellow zip-tie dynamo light routing enthusiast, I can say I didn't even notice them while gazing at the bike. The cable routing? Elegant and graceful. The front bag? A nice blend of modern and classic. The zip ties? What zip ties? On Mon, Mar 13, 2023 at 3:19 PM Ted Durant wrote: > On

Sorry to hear you did not get the kickstand you asked for. Maybe you want to go back to that shop and ask them to replace the current kickstand with the one you originally asked for? Or maybe you've had enough of that shop already. No one else thinks it's a bit out of line for the shop to use the

I was just about to sandwich some 3" angle brackets to the bottom of a front basket and use them as a light mount under the basket. I still might, but that little mount is a pretty slick solution. On Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 3:08 PM Bill Lindsay wrote: > That thing is adorable. Here's the product

I rode the Peninsula Fall Challenge a few years ago. The entire route was fairly light on traffic with the exception of a stretch on highway 42. Overall if you avoid highways 57 and 42 you should be in good shape. Bay Shore Drive in particular is a lovely road. These routes might provide some

Hi Randy, Good memory! You are correct. The San Marcos is my link to the Rivendell family. Not quite as burly as your Appaloosa but it's a joy to ride on the Driftless hills. The Pugs was a blast to ride this winter. Most enjoyable were several rides through the neighborhood over unplowed

I'm intrigued by the idea of wider tires on the new Roadini but I currently ride a Soma San Marcos that I'm pretty happy with. I can squeeze 38s in it and the ride is pretty great for brevets and long leisurely rides. I do like the 44s I'm running on a touring bike but I just don't know that I
