Another option would have been to sleeve the exposed brake cable with some 1mm ID tubing. Although this suggestion come a bit too late give the time and expense already invested in the project. On Wednesday, September 8, 2021 at 1:02:38 PM UTC-7 Michael Morrissey wrote: > Hi, > > Today, I

I delivered the San Mateo (California) Times as a preteen in the early 90s. I started out on a shitty Schwinn BMX knockoff with coaster brakes and used my first few month's wages to buy a Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo on layaway. I threw papers onto porches and driveways out of a bag that

With the number of responses indicating carrying the papers in a front basket, or the bags slung over the bars, we should have been using the French style low trial geometry like those guys delivering the papers to French news stands. I'll like to see them deliver the Thursday afternoon

It is interesting how varied the methods of carrying the papers are. I used canvas bags looped around the front of the wide steel cruiser bars not too dissimilar in shape from some of the recent Riv handlebar offerings. In the back, Wald baskets. On days with thick papers, I'd load both

I delivered papers 6 days a week for the Portsmouth (NH) Herald. I went by bicycle unless the snow was very, very deep. I think it's influenced my lifelong attitude, which jives with the Riv philosophy, that a bicycle should be outfitted to be as robust and useful as possible, and carry
