I think it goes like this:
If you start from the bottom bracket there are really two vectors that
completely determine how a frame fits the rider. One is the vector from
the bb to the top of the headtube, and the other vector being from the bb
to the top of the seattube. If you keep

I mention this because nobody else has...yet. Maybe never, which would mean
that I am alone on this one, but here goes.
One of the things I have noticed as TTs have become angled is that they are
less comfortable to lean up against. Too much slope and you end up on the

I'm looking for a decent 27.2 seatpost (sub $30 - prefer something
used/vintage and nice to cheap and new) and, on the off chance anyone
has one they want to part with, a Nitto Technomic Deluxe stem (26.0 x
7mm - or close). No real luck on ebay so far. Drop a note if you've

I say stick with the Tektros. I have them on three bikes--QB, rando
and LHT--and they're great. They seem to set-up easy enough and work
well. I've used them in all kinds of conditions and have no complaints
and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Do you want to support manufacturing in the USA and are you willing to pay

If so, the Paul's, Bruce Gordon's and others are fabulous.
If not, the Tektros are a fraction of the cost and work as well if not
better.

The kettle works wonders. I've had mine for about two years. And I've

A carbineer mug works well

it fits.

After trying a few different cantilevers on my Quickbeam, I finally
settled on using V-brakes. I did have to switch levers to do this. I
know that many people on this list disdain V-brakes, but I find that
they are excellent for braking, especially in wet weather, and I don't
have any problems
V-brakes are great. They look a little ugly compared to classic
cantilevers, but work great. Cane Creek Direct Curve kinda' splits the
difference between the two.

That lugged steel Ken Rogers is a cool looking hunk of steel, for sure, and

Patrick,
There's been a thread recently on the Classics Rendezvous google group
about racing trikes. Those guys probably have much more experience
with this type of machine than most other forum group members. For

I agree. Somewhat unnerving when I am waiting at a light and big truck /
SUV pulls up on my left and the driver can't even see me or the trike other
than my flag out his passenger side window. I am thinking about getting
another flag and placing it more forward.

The IRD Cafam brakes are great. Easy setup, very powerful, reasonable
price.
TRP EuroX cantis are really nice when you add Kool Stop pads.
