The hook-clearing continues, with my Riv Road just posted on ebay. I love what
it represents, and how it rides, but it duplicates more than a couple '70s-'80s
sport-tour frames I lucked into. Auction runs till Sunday night.

You can fit 650b wheels on any 700c bike, but some 700c bikes won't
fit 650b tires. This isn't an issue for Mark's Sam, but it's worth
noting for 650b conversions in general. If your frame has tight
clearances with 25mm 700c tires, currently-available 650b tires will be
very tight. If 23mm
Hopefully this won't get me banned from the list, but I've been using
self-fusing silicone tape to finish my gel tape bar wraps for a few
years now. Three strikes for me already for not using cotton tape,
twine and shellac...
It's available in colors, though I only do black bar wrap (strike
Hi Mike, if I'm not too late, though I'll assume I am, I'd like to
buy your Paul canti brakes. IMHO they perform very nicely, they also
have the best possible name. Can paypal straightaway, please let me
know if I got lucky.

Quoting Mike On A Bike :
I'll maybe offer the only counter-voice so far. Have a Pika and find
it a bit lacking. It doesn't sway much less than other saddlebags I've
used, when extended I find it sways quite a bit. It also sits very high
when extended, gets in the way when I tuck back to descend.
It's also not easy
Hi Patrick, I'll scarf up the Noodles and Iris cages if still
available. Can paypal straightaway, unless I fall asleep before you
reply, in which case I can pay tomorrow. :^}

Quoting LouisvillePatrick :
All prices include shipping to Continental
I'd be interested in knowing rim/spoke spec, as well as price,
including shipping if you're willing to ship. I know you'd prefer
local, but sometimes local doesn't work and somebody in NJ has paypal
funds burning a hole in his pocket (ahem!).

Quoting jar351 :
To each his own, of course, but I figure I've got more than a couple
thousand bucks into a bicycle that is always just one small oil slick
or attention-defecit driver away from crashing and burning, so I'm not
going to forgo the awesomeness of a Fuji X100/S or X10/X20 for fear of
dropping.
I know that gearing is always a very individual thing, with fitness
level and terrain and target speed and load and more mixed in. With
11/12t cogs, it's all about how you define standard chainring sizes.
I've pretty much entirely abandoned triples for compact doubles, and
34/46 or 34/48 are
Fder might work, should have enough swing but there are other
limitations: cage curve doesn't match a 46t ring well, and your 22t
difference may mean chain will rub rear of cage in all but a couple of
low/(big) cogs. Dropping the 46t to a 44t would help, and tighten up
the shifting---stick
