In that vein, here's a reply to the same post from a friend: "Nicely said Eric.I too wear a helmet every time I'm on my bike! I definitely advocate wearing helmets for any type of riding. I worked in transplantation for 10 years and I assure you we had several donors because of the choice not

AFAIK, Richard has stopped taking "new" orders for frames. He has a multi-year backlog that he's working through, and he will do repairs on existing RS frames, but other than that you won't be able to get a new frame. All in all, a very enviable place for him to be. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com

Kevin: It’s probably not the cause of your issues, but I’ve found that large tires (I run 42mm Grand Bois on my Bleriot) suffer from reduced side-to-side stability, particularly at lower pressures. Larger tires with supple casings and low pressures allow the rim to move from side to side with
