I've raced, repaired bikes at an LBS, travelled far and ride under all types of conditions, and ride to work daily on my 15yo lugged steel bikes.  (Bridgestone and Bianchi - saving up for a Riv.)  It has been rare that I've encountered among cyclists uncouth behavior such as you describe.  I

that bring the Old West to mind. There are plenty of great synonyms out there for the cowboy, as well. Would even focus on his horse - Palomino, anyone? I wouldn't mind Vaquero, or Gaucho, either Cheers, Matthew Z --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message

I'm with you there. It's a great publication but the real world tests are petty hokey-kind of like some high-school science fair project. The fork deflection test was the best of all with the things that looked like soda syrup cans used as weights. The roll test down the little ramp was dumb

I have a 67 AHH set-up as a rando-type bike, but an Atlantis can take some big rubber. I like the B-dil but that double top tube-I don't know. I wouldn't even get that on a 69 AHH-not necessary. Maybe on some future run they will bring in the 64-66-68 Atlantis. A 61 might make a decent mtn bike

The bike (Riv) that will do all you're asking would be the Atlantis. Plenty of tire clearance, 29er/26er depending on frame size. I'd like to be able to set one up w/ a 26 rear, 29 front, w/ drop bars, regular canti's etc-that would be fun. Really more of the 80's style mtn bike than the

Aren't these bags made in China? Maybe I'm wrong on that one. If not, isn't there a domestic source for this type of bag? You know, spend your dollars at home and such? Not trying to pee on anyone's good time, but it's kind of relevant, no? On Dec 21, 11:56 am, dpco
