Eric,
I seem to recall being attracted to the "Butterscotch" Saluki (?) way back
when. Though I'm not sure I ever saw one in the wild. I do like the
metallics being used now, at least what I see online. Like the new light

I must say
Thanks to all who offered help with replacing my Synergy rear rim. I have
a deal for a replacement.

Well, I haven't yet bothered to figure out what my Apple ID password is, so
I bypassed MMR and wrote out an informal route sheet (with a fountain pen)
using Google Maps. Google Maps shows detail in far higher resolution than
MMR, which is too bad for MMR. The distance from my house to the computer
I love the idea of stick/kick shift in theory but - not unlike my dreams
that I can ride a singlespeed around here - it's just not feasible in
practice. My terrain is up/down/up/down all day, I gotta have those gears
and they gotta be available at the flick of a lever. This place is a
That was what came on the Rivendell Mystery Bikes, double crank on the
front, 9 speed cassette on the rear, but only a rear derailleur and

the adventures of 2 British brothers' around the world bike tour on custom
