I'm feeling that way too (or is it just a rationalization for getting my hands on that Chevy-ut). On Friday, January 3, 2014 11:12:00 AM UTC-8, Joe Bernard wrote: Well! I was looking forward to the Appaloosa (a bike I'm not convinced will ever reach production), but this is *very* nice. I

[RBW] Re: Carradice Barley mounting options for saddle without loops?

Carradice sells loops for saddles without them. I used the SQR system from Carradice and really liked it. There's also the Bagman by Carradice others have mentioned. However you do need a minimum amount of seatpost showing to use the Bagman. On Thursday, January 2, 2014 9:02:43 AM UTC-8, Jim

[RBW] FS: DZR Urban Bike Shoe

I have a pair of black *DZR* Jetlag Nero bike shoes, size 39 (EU), slip on (with a top strap to make it tighter). They're very nice looking, comfortable, and you can use them with or without cleats (2 hole). Only worn twice, clean, in excellent condition.. Just not a fan of black.

Wow! After all my life in either clips or cleats, childhood excepted, I've got an order in for Thin Gripsters. They'll be here Thurs., install and begin a new era on my bike(s). Already changed to: higher bars, thicker tires, racks and fenders, and a Brooks. Oh, it's a Sam! On Tuesday,

[RBW] Shifting

I have a Salsa Vaya which I'd like to make more Riv'ish as my daughter plans to take it on a 2 month tour and wants upright bars. Currently is has drops with Sram Apex derailleurs and brifters. Can I convert to thumb shifters with a new handlebar? Of course I'd need new brake levers too. --

Well, I have a Sam Hillborne with friction, 9 speed. I do get some ghost shifts occasionally, but not a big deal. The major goal is getting an upright handlebar without having to spend a lot of money; changing derailleurs, cassettes etc. On Saturday, November 16, 2013 7:39:34 AM UTC-8, Kellie
