Lots of frames break that way, they usually don't go quite that long
before discovery. But if you take any normal steel frame break and let
it go for a long time it will
That locker is more weatherproof than my 90 year old garage, where my bikes
are, so I'd agree that it's no problem.
One advantage of lockers is that thieves don't know what is in them, or
even if there's anything in them at all. I would keep a lock on it even
when empty so there is no clear
I'm just curious: I've always found the model paints in silver and gold to
be very thin (used to make a lot of models), not thick like regular
touch-up paint or nail enamel. So did you find this paint to work well as
far as filling the chips, or is that not an issue? Steve

I might consider one of these lockers as well. Perhaps I'd paint the
word TRASH on there so thieves would think it is a house for my
garbage cans.

The joints for the fork blades into the crown, the steerer into the crown and
the lower head tube joint are the most stressed places on a bike. Bumps and
braking apply a lot of stress to that area. Stress risers need to be minimized

Being an old MTB'er my first reaction to hard braking used to be
moving as far aft as possible. For that reason, good or bad, I tried
out some bar-end brake levers. As I'd never used the hoods of road
bike levers successfully as a gripping area I didn't miss them.
Braking was

I've commuted daily on the Custis Trail - Mt Vernon Trail -14th

years, missing only about thirty days when the snow has just been too
deep to be able to push my bike through.
As others have noted, the biggest problem comes from the
Hi Mike:
I have almost that exact bike on order right now. It's a 64cm Sam,
with the lugged seatpost, and rather than the Dirt Drop, they now
carry an extra long Nitto Talllux stem. My SH is 89cm, and my
current road bike is a 66 cm 1971 Schwinn Super Sport, which gets me
to 88cm with the seat
No problem! Glad I could help in some way.
I just called AmeriBike for a quote today, but haven't received an email
from them yet. I would expect that one unit that holds 2 bikes ranges from
$1000 to the low $2000s, but I'll let you know when I hear back.

First off, only visited DC area, but am impressed you ride the Custis
trail in winter. Especially the couple of big climbs (or downhills,
depending on direction). Coming from a somewhat cold climate,
realized that could be, um, interesting in winter.
No, you don't want studded Endomorphs. A

Wow, nice build. To think, the Bleriot was once for the budget minded.
To be sure, I'm not saying that as judgement towards you. Certainly not. My
thoughts are more along the lines of how our currency's been debauched.
Along with so much else.
Anyway, congrats enjoy!
