Hey.
I'd go Hillborne. Presuming the 10% non-road riding you describe is
*not* actual single-track, intentional-impediment, ascend/descend
barely-a-trail mountain-brand mountain biking, then the Hillborne is
well suited for your described riding.
If the 10% *is* that sort of riding, go Hunqa or
for those I don't

don't know if I'd like their shape as much as the Tektros, which feel
pretty good to me.

So, I have a fall project, in addition to the normal riding... making
sure my wheels with my studded tires are in good shape!

Paint, I think. IIRC, the frames all come from Taiwan painted as
Bettys. The Gomez frames get repainted in the US.

Seriously recommend Paul Motolites; I have them and they feel
fantastic. Not-so-seriously recommend the VO Polyvalent crankset; I
don't have one and would like someone to test it out for me! :)

Well, buying and building my Sam was my Summer
nylon. Purchased in early/mid '09. Also
darkened around the crotch. And there's a grease stain (a little more distinct
than just darkening). $20 shipped CONUS.
Please reply off-list (reply-to-author) if interested.

I've got two pairs of Keen Coronados; one canvas pair, and one bike pair
that's heavier material (suede?) with a stiffer sole.
both work fine for cycling on Grip Kings
that way.

Dear RBW Owners Bunch,
For those who currently (or have ever) own and operate the Medium
SackVille SS bag, I'm wondering what your technique is (was) for
lifting the bag up and away from the rear tire
A noble endeavor.
It's a shame Paul doesn't have a silver (or at least gray) barrel
adjuster to go on its silver ano thumbies. Doesn't anyone make silvery-
gray-ish plastic? Must be hard to source.
I also wish DaVinci would make silver cable couplers.
