What is the best frame pump to use if you are going to have it painted to
match your bike?
Thanks

Shimmy rules:
1. Relax. Shimmy's hate nervous riders. Breath, relax the hands, and
squeeze the top tube with your knees. The shaking will go away.
2. Check you headset. Loose headsets are an obvious.
3. decrease your front end weight. Handlebar bags, rando boxes. and other

Wow. While I have no regrets about buying my Roadeo, I will always my Ram,
my first Rivendell. I think you will enjoy many miles on that frameset.

Patrick,
I had a Ram and currently own a Roadeo. I sold my Ram and regretted it and
later bought a Roadeo. I am a club rider that does the occasional century
ride.
I bought the Ram from Grant after a long discussion about ride philosophy
and bike fit.
My Ram and my Roadeo really feel right
Is Grant using three rolls of tape to make his basket reflective? It
almost looks like the waist strap for an amphipod xinglet:

Not sure the vintage of the TA crank you plan on using but the older ones
used an asymmetric spindle. Assuming you are using a modern sealed BB a
good start would be a 116 JIS with a 1.0-1.5 mm shim on the drive side.

Hey Smitty - I like the idea as long as it is not too early or too wet. I
usually do the BTA or Wheelman ride which starts at 10am down on Naito
Parkway by the battleship memorial. It could be a starting point for a Riv
ride to more interesting spots.

I like cork grips, but they get dirty quick and I had more than a few sets
break on me.
Two alternatives: http://www.esigrips.com
ESI grips are comfortable, very tough (almost too tough - even without
adhesive, they are a chore to remove), and clean easy. Black, silver, and
maybe white are
I have the Ergon Biokork GP1 grips on my Alba-equipped Hunq,

durable and super comfy for my hands. I never liked the fact that glued-on cork
grips are
I like the cork grips but once shellacked they're a bit too slippery with
winter gloves. I use two layers of 'cork' bar tape with a layer of cloth
wrapped tightly over the top to make my own grips.

Hi. I like the feel (and look) of the older Brooks grips, like these:

I can't help but notice, however, that the price seems to have about
doubled from when I bought
It is sold- many thanks!

Another vote for cork. I am, however, fairly new to Albas having started
with them only back in October. Still I've logged hundreds of miles
commuting and camping since then and find them to be quite comfortable.

I saw the Wheelmen and BTA rides. I have no objection to joining up with
either of them, but they sound uninspiring. I ride on (and enjoy)
neighborhood streets and MUPs in the city everyday. I was thinking/hoping
for something more... gravel roads, vacant lots, farmland, flood control
dikes,
I had the brooks plump, they were nice but not compatible with bar ends so
they went to a better home.

Waxed canvas + 35, map case + 7, shipping + 20 = 292 to me. The bag is

Cork grips with bar end shifters on the Hillborne and cork with
