for the annual Davis Double Century. a 200-mile ride from Davis, CA,

Having recently moved to Eugene, Oregon, I'm looking for recommendations for a
good LBS to help me care for my Bleriot and Ram. I've visited at least half a
dozen bike shops and have been very impressed with everyone's friendliness, but
I'm asking for any suggestions from local RIV owners.

Too bad about the heat. Looks like all the climbing is mile 100-130, just

Just returned from a very long weekend of music and riding. The music
was the Bluff Country Gathering in Lanesboro, Minnesota. The riding
was courtesy my Sam Hillborne and the Root River Trail system that
goes through Lanesboro.

So easy to expand/close for various size containers and due to their
design, your container is always secure.
The fact that they are uber sexy is just an added bonus. ;)

Is Keven's bag permanently out of stock, or am I just very unlucky the few

As an alternative, does anyone have experience with the Carradice Zipped Roll

I purchased two of the Nitto stainless bottle cages when Rivendell
first introduced them. They are very beautiful, and enhance the
appearance of a bike (I had them mounted on my 1996 Riv Road
Standard). Unfortunately, I didn't find them to be particularly
sturdy for my use. I often have

I have them on a couple bikes with thousands of miles, including touring,
with no problems. A buddy of mine races cyclocross with his, no problems.
All of which is to say there's another side of the coin.

don't consider the Nitto cages to be junk. Thanks for the offer, but
if I decide to let them go they'll be on eBay!

I have both bags. The zipper roll is wider and larger overall and holds a mini
pump or a click stand better. Keven's bag has a leather tab you can hook a
taillight to which is lacking on the Carradice. The keven is boxier in shape
and gives a different look. If you need to carry less, it's a

Sure, that sounds reasonable. Please wait until I confirm I can find
