[RBW] Re: How old is your Hillborne? Really

Mark, I don't have a Hillborne but a while back I had a guy admire my Hilsen. He said wow that's a great Frankenstein bike I didn't feel offended just a smug knowing :-) ~Hugh Los Angeles, CA

Yes, dusty, hot, lots of hike a bike, must be a Manny ride! Notice all the pictures are his friends following, Manny out front to capture those images, a whirling dervish indeed! Thanks Manny. ~Hugh Los Angeles, CA On Sunday, May 31, 2015 at 8:14:23 AM UTC-7, Manuel Acosta wrote: Hot.

Re: [RBW] Re: sf-la coast tour thoughts and preparation

Anne, I'm with you, I too am a side sleeper and a air mattress is a must. I've found that if I keep it slightly deflated I get a wonderful night of rest. That foam pad looks great! Super lightweight perfect for siting anywhere, just not really compressible. These days I like super

[RBW] Re: Visting Portland

I'd suggest riding the Springwater MUP, maybe hit the Rail Road Museum close to the end of the Northern end of the Springwater. Another stop is OMSI also off the Springwater and I personally think Forest Park is a must! Maybe climb Tabor. And I love riding to Cartlandia in SE. So many things to

[RBW] Re: WTB Nitto Technomic Deluxe 110 x 25.4

Drew David, What's the quill length of the Technomic? The Tallux that Riv sells is 225mm. Is it the same as the Tallux? And what are the differences, finish? And drew why do you want a shorter quill maybe saving weight? I've got a 12cm Tallux 26.0mm on my Albatross bars with shims and need
