[RBW] Re: Thankful for rain

Wait, Californians have discovered fenders? ;-) Yes, fenders come in handy, especially when you have to ride through the occasional big puddle. Which happens sometimes here in the rainy Northwest. So we are very thankful for fenders!

[RBW] Re: Conti Speed Ride?

I had these for about six months or so on my XO-3. They were ok tires, at least in the ride quality department. (Note: I am not the best person to determine ride quality.) However, I got a good number of flats. I finally replaced them when it moved into the flat a week department. -Shawn On

Hello all! A bit of fall parts cleaning in order to make room for some new stuff. The Carradice and Brooks are available for shipping in the US and payment via paypal. The fenders are only for local pickup in Portland, Oregon, in one of two places: SE Hawthorne Blvd or the Woodlawn

[RBW] Re: Winter Riding Pants

When it gets cold and wet enough in the Pacific NW (say like next month), I pull out the old military wool surplus pants. The pair I've owned for about 7 years came from the local army surplus for like $10, probably (East) German origin. Good thick wool that is great for cold and wet. I had

SE Conn, huh? I was most familiar with the SW part, but SE is pretty nice. I have three Carradice bags, all longflaps: Lowsaddle, Nelson, and Camper. I like them all, and the Camper is rather large, 24L, great for touring. The Dill Pickle bags look well constructed, but as Bob Cook noted, the

[RBW] Ride/Trip Report: Labor Day weekend at Cape Lookout (Oregon)

Hello folks- Like Chris Chen and Andy Schmidt, I rode out to Cape Lookout on the Oregon Coast and camped with the dozens of cyclotourists there. And I finally got around to writing up the trip report! You can find it here:

[RBW] Re: More details about the medium Sackville saddle bag

CT Cyclist, I don't own one, but I say you should get it! Not just for the reason that it's good (as proved by other testimonials), but because of the certain irony of getting a product made in your state (assuming that you are indeed from Connecticut), which gets shipped to Riv in California,

Yeah, great report, Mark! I actually toured through that area (including Riding Mtn NP) on my cross-continent tour in 2011, so the photos bring back memories. I really like the idea of the challenge as well. -Shawn On Friday, August 22, 2014 7:45:57 AM UTC-7, Mark Reimer wrote: Last weekend

Yep, a nice looking bike! While it wasn't the first bike I ever bought, my Centurion Accordo was the first nice bike I ever owned. Kept all the gears on, though, which was helpful when I rode down the Pacific Coast in 2006. -Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
