Mark - I love the Surly racks you mentioned! I don’t at all think the 8 pack rack is overkill - I actually prefer the 24 pack rack! I’m in the process of finding out whether it’s for sale yet or not. I’ll call a dealer this morning. To those of you who explained about having the bars high -

Re: [RBW] Three Things

Leah these were Rivendell's "friction" shifters for the Clem and Appaloosa, made by Sunrace. They are essentially index parts modded for friction shifting. They click, but technically can be friction shift. However, the slight index can make it hard to get into the right gear, and can create a

Ah, the ghost shifting isn't happening when you ride it. Yes, I think it's an issue with hubby not being experienced with friction shifting. This probably isn't helped by those weird friction-with-clicks shifters Riv specs on the CLEM completes..I would think it's confusing to friction-shift a

Leah, I started with the Boscos on my 45 CLEM (I'm an inch taller than you) and they reached WAY too far back for me. If the virtual toptube on your bikes is similar and you're good with Albas, your husband's cockpit is going to feel like someone strapped you into a Miata with the seat all the

This post is a collection of questions and thoughts. I'm trying to consolidate into just the one post, so sorry if it seems disjointed - I thought maybe one post would be preferable to three. 1. First question: Why does my 6 ft husband's 52 cm Clem seem too small and confined to me, who is
