Hi gang Spring cleaning and time again to cull the garage - prices include CONUS shipping, but let me know if any of the numbers seem out-of-line! I need to raise some ca$h and also would prefer to see this stuff placed into a good home! Included in my flickr are also a bunch of vintage goodies (

I didn't find a reason to go more than one day, even though I really like looking at beautiful bikes. If you really wanted to speak in depth with multiple builders, maybe go multiple days, but I think for the average "just lookin" person, one day suffices. jim m wc ca On Sunday, February 7, 2

Hi all, I’m selling my SimpleOne 58cm. The bike is too small for me, and I’m getting ready to move, so I need to clear things out. Bike is in great shape with some blemishes and scratches from use. The previous owner used some touch up paint that is close but not an exact match to the original

REI currently only has the jumbo-sized protectors, whose wrap size is intended for aluminum stays. If you have standard-tube steel stays, you'd have to do some Velcro surgery to size it correctly. The regular size fits fine, at $8.99 directly from LizardSkins and a little less from Amazon: http

I agree with Ron again. Yes, you can decide to go "All dyno" or "All solar". Those are both viable options if they supply all of your power needs. But if you have already decided to buy and carry a battery bank (of some size)...then the small amount of power you get from solar (or even a dyno)

Or, have the builder install those cute and dubiously useful otherwise spoke holders on the chainstay. My first mountain bike, a late '80s Sintesi, had this feature and it certainly prevented the chain from hitting the stay, as well as serving as a conversation starter. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 9:

Since these USB battery banks are not that heavy, I opt to size mine so that I can go multiple days on it. But yes, you eventually have to charge the battery somehow. Dynamo hubs are tempting, but my understanding is that they won't really run your lights AND charge your battery and/or your e

True, Ron, though this presumes a campground with electricity. If not, then solar charging is the option I use. Strap the solar panels open to the sleeping bag and it charges the battery pack as I ride. At camp, I can position the panels toward the sun for optimal charging. This system keeps up

Hard-wiring them is a cool idea, but the battery banks still work great otherwise. Using touring as an example, you can run your lights all day and then charge them at night when you're camping. On Sunday, February 7, 2016 at 11:21:02 AM UTC-6, Doug Williams wrote: > > Patrick and all, > > I
