As an aside to what modern bike Jobst might ride, here are some photos of
Jobst's bike at the US Bicycling Hall of Fame in Davis, CA. I'm not sure if
this was his final or second to last bike. I don't know if it is still
there and having it hanging from the ceiling makes it hard to photograph
SPDs are ubiquitous, and you can find them for nearly free (for example, I
have a couple of old but functional sets that I can send at cost, but I
have no spare cleats). If you like them generally, but find that they are
lacking in some respect, then you can try the variations on the theme
A couple of observations.I had a 650 Tosco with 135 FacePlater on the Clem. That particular bar has bulged 31.8 clamp area. That handlebar did not budge. It never slipped & I never needed to tighten the 4 bolt stem. But, I found the bar to be too wide.So I got the 550 wide Bosco with 25.4 clamp
I'm also Team Platform, and would recommend SPDs for a beginner into the
clipless pedal world.
I did ride Eggbeaters for several years, and made skateboard pedal decks to
turn them into platforms. It turned out I never ever rode without them, so
I just bought some platform pedals and donated
Now that's interesting; fun video. I was struck by (a) the skinny front
tire and (b) by the wide bar. I wish I had such firm, smooth dirt to ride
on. A bar like the Losco/Bosco/Tosco/what have you might be very usable if
you could set it up for cruising at the curves and use the wide ends only
for
Steven, That cobbled road is very lovely. Worth a trip to Portugal just to
ride on that!

Super cool, and great design! I, too, offer kudos for the chain-slap patch,
and I really like the Irish strap accent at the kickstand plate.

It’s very easy to use and install but I have the Heavy Duty two bike rack and find it very heavy and awkward. I have to add the other two additional trays once it’s on the car or I won’t be able to carry it alone. Even in two bike configuration I use my teen son to help carry. Me: healthy and
What about ease of installation? Are these 1UPS user-friendly in that
regard? I am interested in the 1UP for all the reasons already mentioned,
but also, because sometimes I'd have one bike, and sometimes I'd have to
carry my wife's bike, and 2 kids' bikes, also. Nice to have the option of

Nice! I especially like the black patch adjacent to the chain.
(Related to that space behind the seat tube...from the first time I saw it, I
thought there should be a triple set of bosses there for a big Nalgene or other

Great price on a really great tire! I have the 27.5” x 55 on my Clem & they are so nice. Possible to dismiss these as “fashion” tires but they are so much more. And that color is awesome.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 22, 2023, at 5:59 PM, Conway Bennett wrote:All,I just picked these up, and

Looks great! BL does a really nice job with the spacers. Would be super
cool to see a quill version of the V5.

I hereby request that one of you, who intend to purchase a complete bicycle
from Rivendell Bicycle Works in the very near future, add to your purchase
a Brooks B68 Saddle (only available with a complete bike purchase) and then

Also adding my vote/appreciation for the 1up. It is the best rack I have
used, although 90% of time I use it I am carrying multiple mountain bikes
so the fender is not an issue. The fact it contains 0 plastic was a big
selling point for me.

Ever since taking ownership of my Gus last Fall, I had designs on having a
custom frame bag made for the space behind the seat tube on the frame. I
guess it's the bikepacker in me, but it seems like there's just too much
usable space
Yes! When I got the email announcing the series I knew I'd have to follow
