Re: [RBW] Organic Cotton Boxer Briefs for riding recommendations?

Wow, myself being very non-metro only wears multi-pack Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs. No way my brain would let me spend more than $15 for an 8 pack. Some of you guys have some fancy nether regions. On Jan 19, 2016 12:18 PM, "Ron Mc" wrote: > my tushie only wants

Re: [RBW] Re: The newest BLUG

I would think that if times and money are as tight as is usually offered in writing, I'd go ahead and keep the money. Pay the staff more if you will, or lower prices but don't just give it away to the homeless. Money can be spent on drugs and booze. Things can be sold to buy drugs and booze.

Re: [RBW] OT: questions about multiple computer screens

I have been using dual monitors for maybe 5 years or so. Both at work and at home. Work is a laptop with an extra monitor. Home is a desktop with two screens. A 17" monitor is pretty small in today's world though. Don't limit yourself to monitors either. I use a 24" monitor and a 32" TV.

Re: [RBW] PSA: Eroica California early registration

Campy does offer some silver groups, not all of them, but the lower lines (think veloce, athena...) The rest of the spec on that bike is just standard DiaCompe fair. (Think Riv Silver) That specific eroica bike is just a veloce drivetrain with downtube friction shifters. At a crazy price.

Re: [RBW] do these bars look too high?

Whether or not you like them is more important than how they look. But yes, they look about 4 to 6 inches too high for me. Scott On Wed, Dec 16, 2015 at 12:48 PM, Pete Porvaz wrote: > https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5836/23051338044_2cd564a8af_n.jpg > > I'm really

Re: [RBW] Re: Prayers for all effected by violence

I hate to offer a counterpoint as I am well aware that the list isn't super welcoming with differing opinions. California has some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation, what change did you want? I would much rather request my legislator abolish "gun-free zones" so that I am legally

Lets remember that we are all adults here. We all should be able to make our own choices and I would hope that we don't have to stoop to name calling. Wear what you wear. Please don't preach. Cheers, Scott On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 1:12 PM, Ron Mc wrote: > conspiracy

Re: [RBW] Crankset Advice

I might recommend not being so focused on buying a complete crankset. Just buy the cranks you like and then order the rings in whatever size you prefer.I'm just building up a new bike and ended up going with a guide/44/30 on an old SunTour triple crank I had around. Once I gave up on trying

I guess you could measure a pair of her pants that she often wears and then visualize wear they land on her ankle and add 10 cm or so. Obviously these would need to be normal pants and nothing too stretchy. Otherwise, if you are considering a Rivendell for her, I will assume that she has a

Yes, that one exactly. VAR made a copy back in the day, or this one is the copy, either way, a great tool. Its very handy and it works to prestress cables as well as to adjust cable slack. It does not however have the ratcheting holder so you have to keep you hand on the tool. Personally, I grew
