Karl, that is a lovely, lovely bike indeed. We'll want to hear all
about how it rides compared to your other bike(s).
meanwhile, I note with interest the striking similarity in appearance
between the Brooks and Cardiff(/VO/whomever else, this saddle is made
in one Taiwanese factory and marketed
Great job. I was considering the Hillbourne for a long while. The
Marathons look great. I'll bet they feel even better.

Finally got around to taking a photo of my XO-1. I got it off of a
trade from the owner of a local bike ship, Eastside Pedal Pushers
(great shop, btw) in Austin. I've been commuting on it for the last
month and plan on doing a couple S24O this summer.

Any of you MUSA knickers owners from the Midwest or Southeast? I have
knickers from Swrve, Richard Reisenberg, Chrome and Swobo. All are
good, but all seem designed with West Coast weather in mind. Meaning
where it is hot, humidity tends be low, and where it is humid, it

Well, I did note the topic was OT. If you have read all the
RivReaders, you will note GP has several mentions of BG. I don't
think there are any useful steel bike makers in the US today who would
deny BG influences their work.
P.S.: thanks Bruce. will give you a call.

I ride 2 Selle Anatomicas. One with a slot and one without. Love them both,
prefer the one without the slot. Repeat, love them both after 1,000s of miles.
My B17 (well broken in) is nice but cannot compare.
Purchased at RBW, not sure if they still have them. Prices have risen since my
Hey thanks everyone! Yeah this bike has been a blast to ride so far.
I commuted on it this week and only got the fenders on thursday night
(took about 3 hours to install). I finally got shellac on the bars
yesterday afternoon and I'll add a few snaps later on with the shellac
on the bars. Wow,
I don't think it's that off topic. If I were to ever get one of his
frames I'd outfit it with parts from Rivendell. I wonder if they
inexpensive touring frames he's getting made are made at the same
factory as the Hilsens or the coming VO randonneur frames.

Very cool! Let us know how it works out over time. I've thought

The cloth bar tape I had was getting too dingy so I thought I'd try

Serious question: aren't there any bike clothing designers on the East

Well there is Ibex in Vermont, but they are primarily known for winter
gear. Ibex does make (or more precisely has a factory in China make)
organic cotton long shorts. I like wearing natural cloth whenever
possible, but if the cotton is too thick, it will be uncomfortable on
longer rides.

I believe Soma's rack is rated to 25 kg, not 25 lb. It's actually
