William,
Excellent post! And perfectly captures what many were trying to say.
Even myself, although went about it all wrong. It is the rider. And
as a rider of Rivendell, I fail miserably. Probably because at my
heart, am too much of a reverse snob. Wherein beautiful and
practical is nice.
As always, Jim, we're appreciative of all the work it takes to
administer a list like this. I know, because we tried. You make it
seem effortless, but I know from personal experience that it is not.
In fact, it's quite the opposite.
Thank you, again,
John everyone at RBW HQ

What John (and others) said -- it's one of the small but important pleasures of
my day to read all of the posts and keep up with folks I feel like I've gotten
to know through this list. And they are people worth getting to know! Thanks
again.

Agreed! Great list! I read it often. I also use it a lot to stay supplied.
I have this list to thank for the purchase from list members of two bicycles,

Here are some pics of a 60cm loaded touring Bombadil (mine). It is a

Hi!
Does anyone have any experience using the Nitto saddlebag grip with a *sprung*
Brooks saddle? I've never seen a sprung Brooks saddle in the flesh... but I
wonder if the Nitto saddlebag grip might be attached along the horizontal rail
connecting the springs at the bottom.

Hi everybody:
I've been away from email access for a couple of weeks, and am just
reading this thread started by Robert. Great! I am 6'6, pbh 94, long
torso, and ride a 68cm Quickbeam, along with several other tall bikes.
I've been posting for years on this forum, its predecessor, and on the

Thanks, Mike.
The QB is a 64cm bike. I've added a nitto big rack to the back since
the photos were taken. It's my favorite commute bike.

From a very crude look at the VO seatpost on their website, it seems
like it has significantly less setback than the Nitto. There's also
that issue, a-la-G.P, 'if you're gonna put that much setback in, it
better be steel'. This post basically took my Quickbeam from an 'off-
the-rack' feel to

I hope this is on topic enough. Does anyone know of a way to make the

The ~10mm I moved my seat back really has helped with my set up. I'm
limited to a Dirt Drop stem for the height I need on my AR, and it's
always been too short in reach. The VO setback makes it much more
comfortable. I don't think I'm using the full extension of setback
(14mm), so hopefully

If you're on a Mac, try opening it in Preview and then saving it (to a new
location, like the desktop). I've tried that with PDFs that are difficult to
read on other devices, and it often works.

I would be willing to bet that there are several in this group who
have ridden road and/or mountain race bikes who were quite good
at the sport. I have had a great deal of satisfaction on steel,
