Looks great, Tom. Intriguing about the hand positions. I have a hard time
imagining how you get more hand positions, could you tell me more?

Your right, Ron, room for toe and forefoot splay is critical. I like to
have an extra 1/4-1/2 width (total from both sides) on the sides, as the
foot splays that much when running. I'm glad you've found what works for
you.

and he can ride along!

I love bikes! What a wondrously different experience and scenery than I'll
likely ever have on the bike (baring brain healing, the sound of the city
would do me in in seconds), but the bike takes us each where we are going.
Thanks for sharing the city art and ride.

Thanks Deacon...not that I want to experience the city environs often but
you work with what you have. I find the city has much to offer but of
course I'd choose 9 times out of 10 to spend time in locals such as yours.

Pre brain injury I was never much of a city person, though I went to

It's great to experience it vicariously, be it LA, Portland, Seattle, or DC.
I have a low normal RD on my LHT used with friction downtube Simplex

shifting is too easy, and I will likely replace it with 9speed when I wear

I do like it on a touring bike; if the cable ever broke it

Capped off a fine birthday week by joining about a 100 new and old

Fransisco's Crissy Field, we headed north over the Golden Gate Bridge,
hopped over a hill or two and looped out around China Camp Village before

Hope you like the new set up Tom. I enjoyed the same setup all summer on my

Hi Folks,
I need to sell my 2001 Rivendell Rambouillet frame, fork, and original Tange
headset. Orange paint, fancy lugs, size 60cm. Condition is very good for a
frame of this vintage. There is no rust or dents, but the typical number of
minor paint chips and scratches. Photos can be seen
Thank you, Tony, for organizing the ride. Clever to bring Atlanti to the

What say the locals to parking situation on a Saturday morning? Is
there enough street parking inland to accommodate us, or should we
settle on a city lot on the west side? That may be more central to

Pretty much the only riding I've done since June is commuting to work
on my AHH a few times a week. However, it's not bad exercise
considering I get a solid hour of cycling with plenty of sweating
(luckily I have a shower at work). The Populaire was a perfect ride
for my friend and I to just enjoy
Took our little poodle out for spin the other night. He fits perfectly in
the bag and the hammock like pouch seemed to suit him just fine. I just
puttered around the neighborhood but I think we might go for a longer ride
soon.

When I lived in the SF area I had a Mini Daschund and I'd do the same
thing. You've inspired me to do it with our remaining Mini. TGives me a
reason to pick up a Swift Ozette Rando Bag.
