stem and it worked great. I am planning on sticking with 9-speed. It all works and you can still buy all the pieces new. I have 8-speed silver friction on my AHH. I like it. It kind of goes with the AHH attitude. Scott On Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at 8:38:33 PM UTC-6, Tim Butterfield wrote: > >

I bought them when I wore a 40-42" waist and they fit okay, maybe a little tight in the legs. I'm a 36" these days and they actually still fit okay, not going to fall down anyway. But since they don't make these anymore, I can't find a size chart. They are called the "Fenster" knickers, so if

Here is what is left: One pair of XXL Swobo wool knickers with a pad. Don't know if they make these anymore. Very, very, very lightly used. $20 shipped One Carradice bag support, like the Silver Hupe. Rubber intact, not that it matters, as it will scratch your frame no matter what! $15

color that can look really cool depending on your bike color. SOMA also has a new tire called the Shikoro that also looks interesting. http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/shikoro-700c-clincher-tire Best, Scott On Thursday, August 11, 2016 at 8:35:16 AM UTC-6, bo richardson wrote

upright bars and drop bars, the Sam would hit the spot. I wouldn't worry about frame flex on a riv. If anything they are built on the stout side. Bikes are like potato chips, you always want one more. Scott On Tuesday, August 9, 2016 at 6:45:34 AM UTC-6, SeanMac wrote: > > Hi folks, >
