I'm seriously off-topic at this point (Altus derailleurs), but regarding the straight leg fork on the Bantam tourer, that was probably the detail I discussed with Bob K the most pre-build. If you follow his builds you know he's as good as they get at creating elegant looking curved forks with

[RBW] Re: Legolas Rackless Dirt Rando build

Nikko Excellent photography and a very nice build. Couple of questions. Is the finish of the bike sort of matte, because it looks that way to me in a couple of the shots. Perhaps it is the way you have the lighting set. Also, I'm curious about what the rear hub is/ Thanks JP On Sunday,

Available again at updated price - Asking $95 net to me due to struts being trimmed when they were installed on my Platypus (which measures 50 cm, 650b wheels). The two longer struts are 14" and the two shorter struts are 7.5". Additional struts can be purchased at Sim Works for $20/pair. On

Thanks y'all. I almost got a Ritchey Outback last year, but ended up with an Evasion Lite initially. I sold that once I got the Legolas. They're all very different bikes, but I'm super happy with where I landed. On Sunday, February 13, 2022 at 9:01:47 AM UTC-8 RichS wrote: > Nikko, > > Thanks

The best equivalent to that would be the book that introduced a lot of people to Soto Zen, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" a collection of talks by Shunryu Suzuki-roshi, the founder of the San Francisco Zen Center. The book is a transcription of lectures and talks he gave at the Zen Center over

What a pleasure it was to read of your experience, Erik! Much of what you wrote resonates deeply with me. Perhaps this is because we share something of a history with San Francisco Zen Center and a particular approach to both Zen and riding a bike. My formative experiences with Zen occurred
