Re: [RBW] Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

John, -1c is rather warm in your area, I guess? Looks like a lovely place to ride. Please keep posting! Luke, Ha! If you said the photo was taken in April I surely would have believed it. Like Kim said it's a spectacular view. It should be quite a workout climbing there! Joe, Color of your

[RBW] Re: Getting my groove back on with the Platypus - dealing with near misses

I understand how you feel. We all feel this way occasionally and most places are car centric in that there is not bike specific infrastructure. And gyms are located on heavily traveled roads as most businesses are. I'm a Cycling Savvy Instructor which helps riders understand the traffic

[RBW] Re: WTB Albatross or Billie

Brent, Remember the football cheer from high school—“push them pack, push them back, waaayyy back”? Billies come a lot. I have albatross on my 54.5 AHH I think on a 7cm stem. I have billies on my 55 Platy on a 10 cm extra tall stem (10 cm is the biggest for that stem) and although I love

[RBW] Re: I’m considering selling my Susie…

Beautiful build! $4000 is not out of the question if you find the right buyer. My first thought was $3500-3600 as what I'd want to pay - but doesn't hurt to start higher especially if you're not motivated to sell. I think you should keep it and ride the beans out of it :) On Monday, 2

[RBW] Re: I’m considering selling my Susie…

Thanks Jason! That’s kinda what I was thinking and I don’t “need” to sell. I might still keep it. I’m just considering a Tumbleweed Prospector because I think it would make for safer winter commuting pulling my daughter. But maybe I just need better studded tires on the commuter. On Monday,

[RBW] I’m considering selling my Susie…

I want to say first off that I really love this bike! I ended up picking up a Clem H to use as my commuter so that the Susie wouldn’t get as beat up. Turns out, I like the Clem almost as much in reality. I was hoping to get an idea of what might be a fair price so I wanted to list the build and

[RBW] Re: First Ride of 2023

I don't know that it counts, but I took a short post build roll on a Trek 5900 OCLV carbon (Issue Bike) that I rebuilt. Rode it several blocks last night and this afternoon. A bit rainy here today. May have gone longer if it was not. here is to getting out on the bike in 2023, however you can.

Re: [RBW] Re: Last ride of 2022

I had to (HAD TO) ride on December 31st. My compulsive nature required it: earlier in the month I noticed that I was in third place for the most total new miles ridden in Alameda County, CA on Wandrer.earth. The prize for logging the most new miles was ~300 points. In second place above me

Re: [RBW] Re: Last ride of 2022

Nice, Bill! I started Wandring this year and have enjoyed covering new roads (or in some cases roads I've ridden but never tracked). My first ride of 2023 involved some Wandring. -Dave On Monday, January 2, 2023 at 11:53:51 AM UTC-5 Bill Lindsay wrote: > I had to (HAD TO) ride on December

Re: [RBW] Last ride of 2022

My last ride for the year was an e-cargo bike ride to the grocery store. On the way home I had a shift cable failure so I had to ride home in the lowest gear spinning like mad. So, my New Year’s resolution has now become learning how to replace shift cables on a Nuvinci/Enviolo hub.Robert

Thanks, all. I think that I first combined sage green and red some 15 years ago or so with that 2003 Curt Goodrich custom Riv Road in sage green with cream accents after I had scored a pair of as-new but second hand set of Ortlieb panniers in red; IIRC these were the classic rears made from woven

Re: [RBW] Re: How are you building up your Platypus?

Bob, that is a really smashing bike. Much as I admire Leah's green and gold anodized Platypus, I also like the black and silver parts you've chosen. I think they really complement the mermaid beautifully. Your wife is dying to ride that bike, I bet. Nice! On Sunday, January 1, 2023 at 6:44:10
