That's what mine looked like too. When I told Velocity what I was doing with it, they replaced it with an Atlas. 260-270 lb rider, Randonneuring and urban riding with a big Carradice with lots of stuff in it. On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 2:22 PM, Steve Palincsar wrote: > I've

Re: [RBW] New tires, perhaps?

It looks like a really nice day. The last time I wore a tire down to the casing, I got a flat and I was on a 200K far from anywhere with weather in the mid-30s and drizzle. I had a spare LoupLoup Pass tire in my bag, but still, having to take off my lobster gloves to change it in the cold

Buy a NOS older Campy hub, 9-11 are compatible. Pre-2006 are especially good. Campy made lots of silver ones. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAMPAGNOLO-CENTAUR-REAR-HUB-36-HOLES-OS-BEARING-SYSTEM-/272454870554?hash=item3f6f93661a:g:JVIAAOSwcLxYE4CN geez I sold mine on this group way too cheap, after

[RBW] ISO Frame Repair and Mods on Riv, who have you used?

I need to get my top tube replaced, it's rusting to the point of, I don't feel confident on it anymore. Someone from this forum actually noted such about 9 months ago when I posted a pre-baby pic at a local watering hole. I was also thinking of getting some mods done like crimping the seatstays

So I typed up this long post to Lum gim fong, and then realized that he was just asking about Boscos. Woops I'm going to post it anyway, so I can feel like my effort was justified, even if it wasn't. 1000K is the farthest I have successfully completed. I'm 2 out of 3 at that
