Like it says, I have a used Shimano XT triple front derailer which came on a
build kit direct from Rivendell and I'd like the option to do a compact double
build using a CX70 FD. So, if you'd like to do a swap, I'd appreciate it. If
you want to buy my derailer that's cool too. I was just
I'm 6'5" with 97-ish PBH and ride a 65cm Clem H. I'm at the low for pbh

smaller one for most of MY riding... which mostly involves non-technical

I had a butterscotch 62cm Saluki before, which I loved but parted with over a
year ago.
This new Saluki is definitely going to be a kid hauler and light tourer. I
mainly use my lightning bolt for longer touring. The Saluki really completes my
stable as of now. Being a comfy "cruiser" country
Nick, thanks, this is excellent! What crank is that? I see the Colnago
label, but looks like Sugino. Also, it looks like you are using 10sp
derailleurs with 11sp brifters and cassette, is that correct? And how is
the shifting?

Aye, Wally, I saw Hans is new in the Plus size. Nobby Nic is more an all round
tire, perfect for allways bikepacking. I'm hoping it's similar to the Racing

no rubberology degree required. Sardonic grin.

I think we can all agree that everyone is different and therefore saddles
vary as to suitability. I have B17s and B68s on my various bikes and all
are set up with alt bars and pretty upright riding position. I'm perfectly

Along the lines of 29+ tires for a GBW, I've got a (NIB) pair which
need to move along; a set of difficult-to-obtain 29 x 2.25 "XC/CG"
*GUMWALL* knobbies, from Fairweather x Panaracer (Blue Lug).

Unfortunately, they're just not going to fit
At least with the first prototypes, XL GBW is 29+. I think S is 26? the two in
the middle are 27.5+

I don't remember a dent

being able to “click” anymore."
I have them as DT shifters on both my Riv bikes. I really like the feel of
them. That said, DT bosses are located just where salty sweat drips on long

Since you are leaning towards the Schwalbe side of things also consider the
Hans Dampf. It's now available in 27.5 x 2.35 / 2.6 / 2.8. A PhD in

Schwalbe uses. OOOPS! I just re-read your post. NNs on the way. OK,

Hi Leah. When I've traveled and bought stuff out of state, the rule has
always been that if I take it with me, then I pay the tax, and if I have it
shipped then I don't. I doubt California would be any different. It's
always a question of how much to ship versus how much is the tax.

I'm shocked that this is still available! My SimpleOne is hands down the

Tax rules for internet sales recently changed. From what I understand, in
addition to collecting tax in our State, the company I work for has to
collect sales tax in those States where our sales go beyond a certain set
minimum--a minimum which is different for each State. Kind of a nightmare,
There are enough of you that have the same understanding so I think it must be

Think of it this way: if you go to another state and buy a widget, their

amount in NYC for example), but it makes sense.
And Mark in Beacon makes an excellent point - the taxes may be helping
