Rode a Riv Saluki on Saturday. Despite being too windy out at times, it was
a great day to ride. Mix of flats and hills and my bike and Hillborne that
showed up, but due a phone call from the maternity ward, did not ride were
the only 650B reps out there. I've had Grand Bois Oursons on the bike
Photos (and the experience that comes with them) like that are
earned. You put in the effort and were rewarded handsomely.
And we appreciate it.

This is the reason that a weekly cleaning/wipe-down does more than
just make a bike look pretty. Check it like it belongs to a shifty
looking seller and you're considering buying it. BTW, I love the old
Italian steel too.

Love the glassy water with the reflected fall colors. The bike's pretty
nice too.
I set my new AHH up with a small Sacksville Saddlesack hanging off the
seat. I'm thinking to add a small front rack+bag to give a little more
carrying capacity and to spread the load out a bit, so I don't want to

Nice looking bike Steven -
If the fender clearance becomes more of an issue you might try a
different manufacturer. Some of the Honjo or Berthod models have an
rounder cross section thereby giving those Hetres a little more room
to breathe.
Enjoy the ride !!

There really is room to move the front fender up closer to the fork
crown--I just haven't gotten around to it. This winter I'll either
fix it or I'm thinking about putting Berthouds or something similar on
there...

This may be a little OT given that it's related to wood + shellac, but
the wood are bike grips. I'm in the process of refinishing some dia-
compe wood grips. This is the first time i have used shellac, and
definately the first time with wood. I'm using a can of premixed
amber zinnser from the
Yup, looks a little thick :)
Shellac sands up pretty easily, just make sure the shellac is completely
dry first. I'd use ~120 grit paper until the wood feels smooth and even.
Then apply a few light coats of shellac. My personal preference would then
be to finish the grip by buffing with
The commonalities are really wonderful.
Had a 1977 RD400 (fun, crazy moto!) that, along with my old Motobecane Grand

I've had similar problems with Zisser's and wood. Alcohol will always
re-soften shellac. Supposedly that's one of the advantages, you can always
fix it. The problem I run into is keeping the pigmentation consistent while
I'm fixing it. On the flip side, it means you can always completely start

I used to ride motorcycles. Most of my buddies and I rode BMWs, hondas,
or Triumph bikes.I had a suzuki (dirt bike) and a triumph street
bike. I used to love old airheads and k-bikes too. In August 2005
two of my mates were killed, within 4 weeks of each other, riding bikes.

It's been awhile since my last ride - but I rode a BMW K75S. Started

Hi Peter,
I recommend a mid-power, mid weight, upright seated position, torquey bike.
e.g. i think the importance of upright riding position, fairly neutral
foot/weight position and handling, are similar in the Rivendell rider and
motorcycler world. maybe that's just me. and I'll stretch by
Yes. 2000 Triumph Speed Triple. I generally ride the moto once a week
year-round to keep the battery fresh. The rest is by bike. I still watch the
GP series, but am way more into the bicycles these days.
