decided to try an overnight camping trip with my Yves Gomez. As it happened
it turned into more of an
great adventure, Patrick. That's a lucky 12 yo.

Awesome pics and adventure. Speaking of Rivs and kids how much arm
twisting would it take to get a small run of the Bosco Rubbe? Come on!

You guys are inspiring. I can't wait for my kids (3 yo, 1 yo) to get a
little older for these types of trips. We're in the car camping phase,
which is great fun, but it'd be nice to explore a bit more. Keep the pics
(and adventures) coming!

Many reading this have no doubt googled for resources
(http://www.bicyclinginfo.org/ ; http://www.nhtsa.gov/Bicycles ; IIHS).
I don't think you'll find precisely what you're after, because all
crashes are not reported and cataloged, and I don't think crash reports
comprehensively include how

In fact, the plan is to escape the next town event with a 2-3 night family
bikepacking trip.

Another vote for the green! Will your li'l appaloosa have the diatube and
tentacular stays?

Could you get a swatch of that material to Joe Bell? Maybe he could come up
with an color-matched swatch that has the special glitter or pearl or fairy
dust to replicate the richness? (if that's what you're after)
Don't forget the color of your components, tires (brown bens?), and

Hi Patrick,
It's mounted to the canti studs (on which V-brakes are mounted). I'm
guessing it's the Nitto M-12 front rack.

beautiful build. I'm surprised at how different the AHH looks with the R-26
vs Big Rear Rack. How do you like the Hold Fast Straps? I'm thinking of
getting them for my winter fixie commuter (instead of traditional toe clips
and straps, which have totally rusted out now).

+1-- great color. That'd look nice with a cream head tube, too... (make
note to self).
The seat-tube cluster is terrific. I'm glad they could fix it.

Gorgeous bike. Love the color in particular and the complementary bartape.
Another possibility: Kelly Take Offs. IIRC, these were featured many moons
ago in a RR.

I've got a baggy of spikes in my tool bag... gotta find the time before the
really cold new england weather rolls in. I'll try the lazy [riv] way
first, but maybe I'll take a short ride to the local hardware store (LHS?)
before too long.
Also, nice pics. The bunny ears post is fun!

I'm so happy for you, Cecily!
I hope they can fix some of the factual errors-- but I think it's tough for
non-bikers to see the actual price without cringing. (For me, not too long
ago ~$1,200 seemed like a lot for a complete bike. But that Crosscheck was
a gateway to bicycles, and I'm
