Patrick, a site I trust is switchbacktravel.com. They review all kinds of
hiking gear, and I’ve bought boots, backpacks, and rain gear largely on their
recommendation. On light hikers, I currently have two they recommended,
Merrell Moab and Altra Lone Peak, both great shoes IMO for different
Redwing is an overpriced hipster boot with an amazing history these days.
Beckhams and Iron Rangers are perfect for the lumbersexual look and a 10
minute, dry weather walk to the next artisanal coffee roastery ;-). Very
pretty, but for actual boot use you can do better with spending less. For
Ken: Please tell us about longer-term walking comfort. I'm tempted by
Redwing because they are -- as far as I can tell -- made at least in part
in the US, and because they have a long US history, and because at least
for work boots they have good reviews. Oh, and because many of their models

Awesome ending! I’m sure NYC’s bike theft problem is worse than here.

I was a bike messenger in NYC late 70's early 80's. Bike theft was very
high back then. I once had a beat up single speed that was stolen. Then a
week later I saw it loosely locked up to a stand pipe at Macy's Hearld
Square. Guess what happened next?

Philadelphia. It’s a high bike theft city.
I just got a third ULock so now I’m finally willing to do so. 2 Arbus granite
locks and a Kryptonite NY one. The locks weigh about the same as than the
bike!. I’m still not willing to do that with my Rivs yet. Perhaps in the
suburbs.

My dad bought several Redwings many years ago, and they lasted his whole
life; so, I recently ordered a pair with my fingers crossed about the fit.
I got lucky that way because they fit--I wear an 8 1/2 wide. They're the
Oxford style. They are sturdy and heavy, and will probably last until I'm
What city do you lock a bike up in? :)

I have one and it’s a nice riding bike especially for around the city. Although
I have to admit it doesn’t get as much love since I got a Riv. I’m willing to
lock this bike in the city, which I haven’t been willing to do with my Riv.

Almost the same set up I have. I cut out a side to a liter of milk, that
thin wax cardboard, and put it on my back rack to prevent pray from the
back tire wearing out my saddle bag. Does that make sense? Nice set up.

This conversation has made it clear that I know very little about what
makes a good boot, a good work boot, or a good hiking or walking boot. To
ask one more question: Can anyone recommend a site, preferably not a mfr's
site, that analyzes the qualities of a good walking boot or shoe -- a sort

bike.

not a Rivendell but it is a nice enough frame and fork for a good price. Good

Just because when I ride with my good friend pics have Rivendell content and
this Miyata is as close to a Riv as I've got now set up like many Riv's I've
seen.

Now what was that about leaving bandannas under rocks? I always have
the scrag end of a toilet roll in my handlebar bag for those times of
need when they haven't restocked the portolet, and I'm not even doing
trips out in the wilderness. I thought Grant was a bit of a Boy Scout.
What ever
For a bike frame like that it's best used with what's called a low
profile cantilever, like a Sun Tour XC Pro and/or Dia Compe 988 lookalike.
I had a custom "sport/touring" long wheelbase frame built in '99 and
specified cantilevers. It has the similar narrow-er canti post spacing than
