I'm building up a new frame, and trying to keep it a secret, at least,
until I thin the herd. So I was thinking I would re-use, scavenge or just
get parts out of my box of odds and ends, as much as I can.
So I have these 10 speed Ultegra 6700 brifters that I got a while back for

I thought they should have gotten the M370 Altus which indexes 9 speed and

But I do like the fact that the Altus uses the bigger wheels rather than a
longer cage to accommodate larger
it on purpose to make the point that Shimano is very
conservative in their ratings?

Anyone used an old Sugino GP 110/74 triple in their Rivendell or
Rivendell-like frame? I have one sitting around in a box that I was
thinking about using, but wasn't sure what size bottom bracket to use. I
already have a spare 118 JIS square BB on hand, and I suppose I could get a

I see both Paul cantis and XTR cantis in the same photo set?

brevet distance were done on wide, supple tires. In fact when I quit

Is there any particular brand of chainsaw oil that is recommended?
I just get whatever the store brand is at my local big box store for the
actual chainsaw. It's about $3 for a quart, IIRC. I think I've got some

Why not just go 8 speed if you are shifting friction anyway? 8 speed gear
is far more prevalent than 7 speed gear in this day and age, and you'll
