For the original post, the fenders would look much better if they
followed the curve of the wheels more. For the rear one, could raise
the part under the brake and put a little more space between the
chainstay bridge and the fender. Then just move the fenders down the
supports closer to the

Subject: [RBW] Richard Sachs Cross Bike
From: [EMAIL
there's nothing like seeing a rider going full-tilt through the mud,
slinging his richard sachs over his shoulder, riding it to the limit
and then realizing that the rider is richard sachs. this happened to
me a few times this year. very cool.
And here's another Sachs commuter, Chuck, from Davis CA. This photo
was taken in 2004. I saw him a week or so ago, still commuting on the
same bike.

If you aren't in line already, you won't ever own one unless it's used. Or
if you enter the Wheels North drawing.
By the way, eRichie has his own photostream:

Thought it was funny
that the cyclingnews tech editor wrote that the lack of fender and
bottle cage braze-ons were signs that Sachs doesn’t intend for his
Signature Cyclocross machine to just hang on a wall or casually
meander around the block. How could making something more useful for

general riding (with little or no impact on its performance in
competition) imply that it is a wall-hanger or casual rider?

Hello to all,
Patrickwell spoken.
To add to that sentimentit is my
understanding from reading about Richard Sachs that when he builds his
cyclo cross racing bikes for team members, that some thought goes in
to how to make it take a bit less time to build
Pretty much everything in and around Monterey is a hill. I suggest
heading south to Carmel--be sure to come back on 17-Mile Drive. Or,
head inland toward Salinas.

Carmel Valley Rd, going east. There's a couple of places where you can cut
over the northern range of hills pick up a parallel road (can't recall the
name) for a different return.

Just built up the Shimagnolo groupset on my AHH. I'm sure many of you
have done this. The impetus for me was that my right Ultegra shifter
wore out unexpectedly. I had a planned ride to do - the El Tour de

My earlier post was not directed to Sachs, but rather the journalist.

I like Sachs' bikes a good deal. Not as much as I do the old Masis,
Colnagnos and Bassos, but think he is a great builder with

The old Fort Ord north of town has nice loops with good rollers and, as of
last time I was there about five years ago, no traffic. Nice countryside
too; I followed a bobcat running along the road for some time and got a
great look at him when he ran off the road and sat in a tree to watch me.
Ah, the luck. This is the exact trade I was looking for this summer.
It's all about timing...

Cool. I hiked Hokkaido years ago and remember seeing the little
statutes around. I guess I had forgotten all about the name.

They are great little lights, aren't they?
I was a little skeptical going to LED from halogen. On my first night
ride it did not seem all that bright. Then I adjusted it up a little
bit. Impressive to say the least. Sold out until next year, I
understand. Not surprised at all.

I moved from bar end shifters to Veloce levers and a Jtek Shiftmate
several months ago. It is by far my favorite change that I've ever
made to my Romulus -- and I've tinkered with many and varied parts.
I have 10sp shifters and a 9sp cassette. The appropriate Shiftmate

I had the same experience. The light looks super bright now. I have
mine adjusted so the far edge of the beam is just about disappearing.
Those long brevet nights won't seem nearly as bad with this light.
