Yes, the dirty Atlantis looks very cool!
I think that the front rack you have is designed to be mounted on the lower
eyelet of the front fork-end.
They are designed for 700C bikes, and most 700C bikes have only one eyelet

I saw a bobcat while riding my Rivendell last week in the country about 8
miles east of my house, but it quickly scurried into the shadows before I
could get my phone out to take a picture. I was probably too far away
anyway to get any sort of detail with a smartphone camera. Nevertheless,

I LOVE that!
At one point I thought the guy was inside the tire, walking the bike around

it isn't a contest. Just enjoy the ride. -
My first big ride since I broke my rib in mid-May. Felt good, though I felt it
on the longer climbs at the end of the ride.
Underbiked with Barlow Pass tires -- as in the lower end of under biking. Next
time I'll swap to MSO's for better traction on this steep loose stuff. Barlows
are great,
um, best I could do

I am so relieved to hear that, Ron! Whew. Had I gone with white cotton
handlebar tape, that would have been foppish (at least till it turned grey
3 1/2 minutes later). Grin. My wife couldn't believe I'd gone with the
white, until she saw it. Then she forbade me from going with anything but
I have a few things to move out.

MTB derailers or Road derailers.
What's the diff, if anything?
I know RBW seems to like MTB derailers for all their current build
kits (Deore).
Any benefits to Road 8-speed derailers over MTB?
I am under the assumption that any 8-speed Road parts are going to have to
be NOS or used, because
Most mountain rears handle 32+, and most mountain fronts handle triples.
It's not to say that you can't find a road RD that will comfortably shift
to 32, or use a road double FD to shift a triple (I've been doing so for 10
years).
It's just the difference between Try it and see and This will
Michael, they are VO's Sabot. They are great pedals. I've VP Vice on my

Even up to the current generation, Shimano road rear derailleurs is not
speed-specific. So Shimano 105 5701 derailleur, which is part of the
company's 10-speed group, can be used for 8-, or 9-speed drivetrain also. I
have a 5703 derailleur on my bike and it's spec'ed to accommodate 32T large
Derailers intended for MTB have longer cages to accommodate wider gearing
and are designed to track the angle of a cogset with at least a 30 tooth
big cog. Road derailers are usually rated to 28 or fewer teeth but this
can often be cheated by a few teeth. The cage will likely be shorter since
Very interesting info. And specific info. Just what I was wondering.
I like a 12-32t, 28-36-46 setup. I live in rolling terrain that gets hilly the
further west I go. The granny gear makes me confident that I'll never have to
turn down a ride for lack of gearing.
I forgot to mention that I am
