UPDATE:
So I removed that twisty front fender, and, holding it out to look a it saw
that the stays were a little off center in the eyelets, as one stay was
further out to the side of fender than the other.
I loosened eyelets and re-centered the stays, attached to dropouts and
retightened stay
I got Adventure Cycling's catalog in yesterday's mail, and it looks like they
have a nice rain cape that is substantially less costly than the ones you list,
and better made than the Campmor version, which I have used for years. Yep,
here it is:
I have not found the 105 to be the best choice for very small chainrings.
The cage is too long to get low enough before it hits the stay. I have
found the Campy Comp Triple to be much better. I think the IRD is molded
after it.
Enjoy the new ride.

speaking, meat production in this country (and others) has a terrible

make sure the animals are treated humanely and not pumped with
antibiotics, etc.

The problem you describe, Addison, is not with meat itself, but with modern
animal husbandry practices, which largely are the result of feeding animals
grain rather than their natural diet of grass and wild foraging. Hormones

The response to this trade request was overwhelming, and suffice it to say
I made a trade pretty quickly. Thanks to all who emailed me with trade

Hyperbole, sure, but the drum GP has been beating for decades (better tire
clearance, too much emphasis on racing, etc.) has finally turned into a product

Nice article. So basically we are just going back to the All-Terrain
Bikes that came out of Marin County in the late 70's and early 80's. I've

Klunkerz) and those guys (and a couple of girls) were really just doing

Jay Hartman: I, too, have asked that question: Namely, if I'm already
slender and healthy and reasonably fit, would a low-carb, high-fat diet
make me healthier still? Perhaps it would. And perhaps Grant's book will
help to explain. In the meantime, I think Gary Taubes said something to the

the late 90's wont fit anything larger than 32mm tires. And lest we forget

those demi-balloon 40-50 mm tired bikes from France.

Most of the riders that I know or read about were on that schedule. I
