However, she's always busy working so she never really had time to ride the bike except a few times. I would ride that bike in the dark at 11pm holding a candle in each hand for light. I don't think I could ever be too tired to mount that red chariot. I'm sorry to hear about your wife's

That's a very pretty bike! What's the word on Glorious sizing? For some reason, I keep thinking that the legacy Rivendell mixtes were sized smaller than norm, meaning one should size them smaller than what the PBH - 26 method indicates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Ed, I'm pondering this, but I can't go as hi as $2500. If you don't get offers in that range, would you please send me an email. Michael On Wednesday, March 27, 2013 7:57:16 PM UTC-4, Ed S wrote: Hello everyone, I'm new in the group although I've been reading the posts every now and then.

Ed: I've had two good friends that have had knee replacements. In both cases, cycling was strongly recommended for physical therapy. These guys were both in their late 60s. One guy had the replacement in October we toured Portugal 6 months later. You may want to ask about the recommended

Wow. That is a stunning bicycle. Ed, you should talk to Riv about sizing..they don't size the mixtes quite like regular bikes. With the low step-over and reach-back bars, your wife would have to be pretty small to not fit it, IMO. On Thursday, March 28, 2013 3:39:58 PM UTC-7, bwphoto wrote:

Joe- she's 5' but the problem is she will be getting both knees replaced over this year, she can only just barely get her leg over a step thru townie, we have no idea what her final range of motion will be by the time she is all healed up. -- You received this message because you are
