having a few spare minutes this week, I looked at the performance/weight ratios
of my stable of 4 bikes. This will probably surprise no one, but there isn't

I've tried a number of leather wraps. My sweat a lot in the humid Alabama
summers and leach a ton of salt. My observations on what I have used:
V-O Elk skin sew ons: Look Cool, get gamey after about 2,000 miles of use. I
used them without padding under and they were fine. Longer to install than

My own plan is that I eat a breakfast bar (about 1/2 sugar and 1/2 cereal
grains
for carb content) an hour prior and then once an hour while riding. Supplement

23F here, but may make it to 50F. Heading out in an hour for 50 on the
Rambouillet. Have replaced the Sugino triple with an Ultegra 52/42/30 that I

too large for stiff climbs. The bike is running 28 mm Conti
