Sure resembles the original Breezer Series 1mountain bikes. Diagonal tube, Magura motorcycle brake levers, TA Specialties crankset, Brooks B-72...nice! On Wednesday, 21 December 2022 at 16:55:56 UTC-8 Luke Hendrickson wrote: > Yes! Spoke to Bailey at Sincere Cycles here in Santa Fe about it.

Re: [RBW] Re: NorCal Cycling

I think Hwy 41 might be the NorCal/SoCal cutoff, which is weird, since like all odd-numbered freeways, it’s technically a north-south road. It angles in the west, but heads straight north in the east, putting Morro Bay, Kettleman City, Fresno, and Yosemite and Lee Vining all on the dividing line.

Re: [RBW] Re: NorCal Cycling

Wesley - thanks for the excellent information! Yes, in the area where I live - Northeastern Chicago suburbs - some of the stores owned by the now defunct local chain "Dominick's" were taken over and remodeled by a more local chain "Mariano's". That chain has since been taken over by the the

Tom, the OP is Joe D. and is specifically shopping for a fatbike. My thread on internet-bob was about whether a fatbike would work for me, I've decided it won't. Joe Bernard with a B On Wednesday, December 21, 2022 at 11:56:57 AM UTC-8 Tom Palmer wrote: > I agree with Hoch- the Ritchey

Re: [RBW] Re: NorCal Cycling

George, When a two grocery chains merge to create a new, larger chain, they would prefer to close down any of their stores that compete with each other right away. It's the federal government that stops them, because then they could raise prices with less competition. So instead they

Re: [RBW] Re: NorCal Cycling

Wesley - thanks for that info. It explains why we have had the closures of certain grocery stores in our area that have ultimately been taken over by larger chains, but retained their original identity. But many of these "overtaken" groceries have eventually declined in product availability

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell-esq fat bike

I agree with Hoch- the Ritchey Commando is Riv-esque and rides very well. I have had several fat tire bikes from low end to high end and it just has the ride. Good tires help any fat bike in particular. Schwalbe Jumbo Jims in particular work for me. In keeping with the spirit of Joes' ask- a

Re: [RBW] Re: NorCal Cycling

The multiplicity is because when large grocery chains merge, the federal government often requires the new, larger, chain to keep the original stores open. In cases like where you now have two Safeways in the same mall, Safeway will generally be required to sell one to a competitor rather than
