There's gotta be at least a dozen Riv-types in Santa Monica who would be
better qualified to handle that last bit of assembly on this style of
bicycle than most shops in the area. Maybe someone could step up and have
it shipped to him/her/them?

Purely by accident I happened to wear a rayon ss shirt for about 23
miles of riding over two days, this after wearing it fresh on Sunday,
wearing it again on Wednesday, sleeping in it Wed evening (yes, I
know) and wearing it just now to ride home, all this in very humid,
for us, 35% humidity --

using $Foss innertubes. The reviews at www.rivbike.com are mixed. Not sure
if it's how and where it is used, or the product itself.

I am running fat 650B Foss tubes with Pacenti Quasi Motos on my Rawland.
That bike gets used for a 20 mile loop half-dirt half road in the East Bay
hills. I've done that loop maybe a dozen times since installing the Foss
tubes, so maybe a total of 300 miles, no flats yet.

Most of what is advertised these days as bamboo clothing is rayon in
which bamboo is (perhaps) used as the source of the cellulose.
Many people seem to like bamboo clothing for athletic endeavors so it
makes sense that you'd find it works well also.

I often wear Aloha shirts (as we call them here) while riding. I also live

fitting, dry quickly after a rain shower and pretty much perfect for any

the resting energy expenditure of the subjects with low carb diets was
higher than the high carb diet expenditure.
Therefore, the low carb diet contingent burns more energy at rest than
