What do you use with your Nifty Swiftys?
TrIMet's Max trains go right from the airport to downtown Portland and you
can bring your bike on Max no problem.

James,
Thanks so much. It turns out that Brian at RBW found a set of 150 mm in the
attic so he's sending them when he sends my frame. I sure appreciate it
though.
Cheers,

I've ridden JB Blues and Greens and 35mm Marathon Supremes. I'm not a
fan of the Blues, they feel rather sluggish. The Greens are a great
tire and I love the ride although they aren't super durable. For
commuting or rambling, I'd say go with the Supremes. They wear well
and ride nicely.

26 x 1.25 (33mm like the tire) work?

If Riv doesn't have what you need, many painters can get decals made for

the original supplier to Riv was, and furnished them to my painter. They'll
cost more than $15 though.

Cogs appear to be fine, probably less than 1000 miles on them.
Haven't checked for slipping free hub - just remove wheel and check tension
with cassette tool?
