Welcome, Charlie. Sounds like you just joined the list? If so, your initial post's are moderated, which explains it not showing up. Good looking Wilbury. Links fly all the time. Here you go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/rivendell-wilbury-mixte-touring-bicycle-custom-build-/28118414?pt=US_Bicycle

[RBW] Re: Sweater/Top recomendation

Either Woolie is great, depending on how warm blooded you are and if you're sitting around or moving. The key is to have layering options so you can easily adjust as needed. The sweater will be warmer though neither will stop the wind. You may want a nylon shell for that if you need it. With ab

I can't speak to the roll polly one, but love my Sargent sweaters. Elbow patches make them last a lot longer for me. With abandon, Patrick On Friday, October 11, 2013 7:31:29 AM UTC-6, NWAJack wrote: > > Does the rollyneck one tend to run tight on the neck? I think that would > bug me, but no

[RBW] Re: 50mm tires

I love my Schwalbe Duremes (700 x 50 mm) and how smooth they are on paved/packed road yet handle all the single track I've tossed their way well. If I were doing a trip that involved a lot of mud or sand, I'd likely want a fat bike. But no flats in the 18 months I've used them. They're disconti

[RBW] Thank you for the photos (AKA vicarious rides)

I haven't been able to go for a ride the past few days and just browsing through all your photos on Flickr is a wonderful vicarious adventure that helps fill the desire to go and do what I can't right now. Thank you! With abandon, Patrick www.MindYourHeadCoop.org www.OurHolyConception.org --

Re: [RBW] Thank you for the photos (AKA vicarious rides)

Thanks, Bob. I got out this morning for a wondrous 4 mile ride through golden aspen lined mountain road, a wee run, and pipe. It sure feels good to get out again! It's a funny thing, looking through everyone's trip photos not having memory -- I remember your trips as well as I remember mine! Sa

Thanks, Michael. It's simply life with a bludgeoned brain. It's normal (for me). Back in the saddle today, so hopefully immune to all things that mess me up. Grin. With abandon, Patrick On Sunday, October 13, 2013 11:48:53 AM UTC-6, Michael wrote: > > Hi Patrick, >> > Hope you can get back in t

Once the poison content and addictive nature of sugar is understood what's insane is to keep using sugar. The next step toward sanity is understanding grains are prepubescent sugar with a multitude of anti-nutrients -- natural defenses of the plant, intentionally selected in over the last 10,000

Peter, I did cork grips with cotton wrap starting above them and it looked great. After a year of abuse, the cork were showing wear, so I wrapped them with tape too, which looks fine to me but others might think odd. Kind of describes me anyroad, so we look like we belong together. Grin. With a
