I like the flipped bar. What is it? I've been flipping "North Road type bars" for decades because I find them more comfortable to grip at the bends in that position. I did that with the MAP Ahearne bar, and it's surprisingly comfortable (to me, who hitherto liked only drop bars). On Fri, Jun 25,

I'm just a couple hours north of that area; this is the north shore mountains above Vancouver, BC. I wish we had the beautiful network of forest roads that WA has! I envy the rides I read about in BQ, although our terrain is closely matched. We have very few public forestry roads near town,

Hey David the saddle is from Obsidian Monarch it was a birthday gift from a friend of mine a few years ago...his friend makes these saddles in CA. I think he uses old Brooks frames and stretches new leathers over them and does some psychedelic artwork etching in the leather.

Please tell us about that saddle cover. Custom leatherwork to a Berthoud? Really nice! David Lipsky On Sunday, May 17, 2020 at 8:46:13 AM UTC-7, j.schwartz wrote: > > Farmers Market Run > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To
