Maybe I'm spoiled, but living here in the SF Bay Area, we have tons of
places to ride and there's always hills, especially here in SF.
That would explain the popularity of those Pake Urban bikes, Public
bikes, and a whole
Lime Ridge was quite rideable yesterday, with a few muddy spots. After
another day of sun today, trail conditions should be perfect tomorrow.
Currently 47F in Walnut Creek and 34F up on Diablo, so you may want to
bring a jacket and gloves for the ride down.

Yes, the asymmetric stays are similar, but the App' has much longer
chainstays and top tube than a Bomb'. It would be
small paint scratches. My
proto-Bomba has taken its place, otherwise I wouldn't be selling it.

I'll be at BART to meet the 9:40 train. If you get there early and
need coffee, there's a Starbucks about a block away at Jones Treat.
And if you're not familiar with Diablo, bring food; there's nothing to
buy on the mountain.
happy new year!

That front derailleur cable routing appears to be jerry-rigged.
Rumor has it that these will become production models. Maybe they'll
add a front derailer stop.

Search the Riv group, the BOB group, the 650B group, the Bleriot
Owners Group, and completed Ebay listings for Bleriot listings. Then,
take an educated guess. If it doesn't sell, you priced it too high.
Sounds great! We should plan a Marin ride also; maybe a Mt Tam climb?
Weather update: 52 degrees this morning, many clouds and heavy rain
forecast. Unsettled weather next week but looks like it may dry up for
New Year's.

It was 30 degrees at 8 this morning in Walnut Creek, and 15 higher up
on Mt Diablo. I suggest starting at 10 am to give folks some time to
gather and for it to warm up a bit, but
No -- the build kit has sidepull brakes. Your Speciallisimo takes cantis.
