I found a set of keys once. It was across the street from a police station so I turned them in there. They seemed quite suspicious of me but eventually let me go. Jay On Saturday, October 28, 2017 at 10:14:38 PM UTC+3, Conway Bennett wrote: > > I'm all but positive I lost all of my

[RBW] Re: Lost & found anything while riding?

I lost an entire Carradice Super C saddle bag! The bagman came loose and somehow fell off without me noticing. Boy was I surprised when I got to work and it wasn't there! Someone found it and used my cell phone to call my wife. Got it back intact later that day. Jay On Saturday, Octob

Agreed. I'm at the top end of the fit envelope and wouldn't be able to pull the trigger without a little more info. Jay On Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 7:26:10 PM UTC-7, eflayer wrote: > > I get GP's orientation to PBH but give the rest of the biking world a > br

. Single-track riders also appreciate the narrow profile, for obvious reasons. Of course, you can bike pack with any configuration that works. My explanation is informed by a set of assumptions that show I bought the hype. In practical terms, though, we found there was some merit to the hype. Jay

Re: [RBW] Re: What is a Rivvish bike?

Great thread, Bill. I love Will's take. My own evolution as an incorrigible tinkerer had been to detach from the opinions of others. I love my bikes, but they are MY bikes and I get a lot of pleasure from figuring it what I want from each one. Jay -- You received this message becaus

[RBW] Re: Thoughts/considerations for Clem as daily do-it-all bike?

I have one of the big Clem L's on the way (another month, I think), and I can't wait. I want it as my do-all'er--hauling, run-arounding, some rail trailing. I've read nothing but good things about these bikes. Jay On Thursday, October 26, 2017 at 8:27:14 AM UTC-7, Tully

Re: [RBW] Rivs with the Jones Loop/Bend H-Bar (Map/Ahearne too)

le. I used the soap and water again to reinstall them. There can be some play until the soap evaporates, but it was much easier. I'm a chronic tinkerer, but the Jones grips make me think very carefully about what I want before making the commitment of installation. Jay On Wednesday, Octobe

Brian, I have a 64 Clem L on order. Can’t wait for this bike. It will serve as my local hauler. I’m not sure they’ll be back any time soon, though, so if you want one and have the cash, I’d put in an order. Jay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups &quo
