I ride flats with pins.
Fixed, technical singletrack, road, commuting.
I started with clips and plastic straps on mountain bike bear trap pedals,
then rode SPDs and then Eggbeaters. When my kid was little, I made
platforms for the eggbeaters by screwing cleats to platforms I cut out of

Kim,
Lot's of water, indeed! The Nisqually looks to be a beautiful river (from
the Google images I found) and, on a hot summer day, a perfect spot for a
mid-ride dip.
Yeah, I hear you on the pavement. I don't understand the need for it when

Hi John,
I am in future updates via email directly from the Yelm City Planner in

enjoy what it is I am riding through.
Kim, You'll certainly have a golden
Adding to my post: I don't think you're asking if the gearing will be too
high. Yes it will work and you can use whatever gearing you like!

Hello Brenton,
I use the Shimano CS-M770 XT HG 9sp cassette, 11-34 paired with either a
Sugino or FSA crankset that have 130BCD with 46/34 chainrings. That gives
me a nice range for the hilly terrain where I live. If you really want the
to use one of the 105 cranks with 130 BCD then changing
Fantastic bike Roberta! I love the personal touches you put on it to make
it your custom Rivendell. Don't you love it when a plan comes together.

Great story and pictures Kim! The bicycle is the perfect vehicle to take us
to new places and explore the world around us.

Yes, all of what Andy said. I have never said these words but I FEEL them after reading his post. What a lovely thought, that your bike is the culmination of all of your riding experiences. I’m going to think about this for awhile…And, I also concur that the bike deserves a better moniker. I’ll
Fantastic Roberta!
A bike is the sum of its parts. More accurately, a sum of the stories of

riding by developing preferences and aesthetics of parts you may not have
been keenly aware of before 2017. Most production
