My sister who regularly visits Italy remarked on the number of well-dressed
professional women blithely riding in the midst of city traffic in heels
while talking on their cell phones. However inadvisable that may be, it
shows at least a traffic environment of which bicycles are fully accepted
Jim,
NIce bike!! Are the pictures taken from Palos Verdes?

I didn't see any cyclists on their phones, but what they were doing was
being done blithely, to be sure. Regarding footwear, Europeans wear a lot
nicer shoes than Americans. I've resolved to respect myself more with my
footwear.

Howdy all. I'm back from a ~3 week European vacation. There was zero
riding, so if you want ride reports, this is not your post.

very first passport for this trip, having never left North America (bless

BUMP!
I'm back from a nearly three week vacation in Europe. I'll write a
separate post on the various on-topic (and nearly on-topic) things I did.
I still have all five of these bikes in various states of availability.
Leet me know if you want to discuss any of them:
1. Bombadil. Deal
AKA Jaws
I went on a 30+ mile ride on dirt, washboard trail ,with a 4+lb. Kryptonite
New Yorker U-lock in the clamp of the rack.
Never heard a rattle nor did the lock slip from the grasp of the clamp.
Very pleased!

I love the Cowchippers so far. Hardly any fussing with them. I rode them on
singletrack the other day--a pic or two in the Flickr--and really like the
shallow drop, width (46cm) and flare when it came to cranking uphill. But then
today I did a four hour road ride and they were great there
I am just a recreational, club rider, but I have fallen to the Riv
philosophy regarding geo and fit. I have many bikes but my current rides
are a Roadeo with the new Shimano Ultregra 11sp gruppo( 50-34 crank with
11-32 cassette), and a Hampsten Tournesol steel frame with Campy Record
10sp.

Thanks, Christian. I figure some will end on my Gryphon sooner rather
than later! I have some Cowbells on my Salsa, and really like those a
lot BTW.

What's the stem on there? I have the same bike, in its noodle year, but I
think I'll switch back to albas next year. I like that look.

The U part of the lock just fits between the side rails of the rack
which helps keep it in place while riding.

Road hubs: QL-ZL7R look the closest - 6 pawls, etc. , just not enough holes in
the flanges.
I have ordered a set of the Silver from Rivendell.

That is the cross-chain audible warning mode. It is a feature.
What size BB are you using and is the rear spacing 130mm or 135mm. I have
not experienced this on the 3 double setups I'm using. 43/29, 40/26, an

That sounds like a top notch vacation. Great for you. Funny you mention the
shoes- my dearest friend-who is as well traveled as it gets- and not

Killing time at Fat Tire Bicycles this morning, I saw this marque for the
first time. Lightweight, stretchy synthetic (possibly syntho-cotton mix),
trim cut, *no effing padding!, *and a modestly conservative design in black
-- just-above-knee length, waistband, zipper, side pockets and rear

I feel so much better about my own small grouping of bikes, after seeing
whole houses described by which bikes are in which room :)
In order of mileage on them:
