I purchased this really great-looking jersey back when they first came out, but despite how it looks, I'm just not a jersey / kit wearing kind of guy. I can only think of one time this was ever worn, and it has languished in my closet ever since. Non-smoking household, but you may find a stray

Crust Bombora owner here, so I have no reservations whatsoever about pink / lilac / weird colored bikes. The more the better! Personally, I agree with Leah in that I find the Rivendell colors look best when they're sparklin'. The only non-metallic Riv color I've ever been attracted to is that

I’ve been sad about our temperamental weather here in southwest Michigan. After a perfectly sublime week of 70-something temps that set off our tulips and daffodils and flowering trees, we are back to drizzly weather topping out in the 40s. I’m freezing over here. I have an Apple Watch tan

Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee is always a go-to place to find Nitto things, and these stem adapters are no different. The folly of looking for these adapters is that they go by many different names and, the model numbers get mixed up, and the photos shown are often of a different variation. So of

Thank you, both. I tried that one branded as Soma, Wes, and it was too tall; I'll get hold of Ben's Cycle and confirm things, Garth. I agree with your thumbs up for Midwestern sensibilities; I'm thinking seriously about returning to the Driftless area for all the riding and more that it
