[RBW] Re: FS: 58cm silver double top tube Appaloosa
That's a great looking bike! Do you happen to know the PBH recommendation for that size, or have a link to the old geo chart? I ride an older 58 cm Sam. Wonder if it's similar.

Nice! Is that Stanley Park? I rode that a couple weeks ago, but with a rental e-assist bike. Wish I had my Hillbourne for it, I felt like I was blowing past all the views and scenery.

[RBW] Re: Philadelphia Bike Expo Nov 2 and 3. Rivendell to exibit
Would love to hear any takeaways from the Riv booth at the Bike Expo! I'm particularly interested in the latest version of the Hillybikes on display there, if any. And of course pics would be great. I am in New York, but didn't have the chance to come out to Philly this weekend.
