Oddly, that shot of me going up Mt Graham is the second of my Rivendell shots to get picked up by Explorer on Flickr. The shot below - - a very average shot of my Legolas - - somehow got selected. I's pretty mundane, but managed to develop 13k hits and a lot of compliments. It really ain't

That is a beautiful bike. It's nice how the tires, saddle and tape blend so well to compliment the red frame. On Friday, March 20, 2015 at 8:54:30 AM UTC-7, reynoldslugs wrote: Oddly, that shot of me going up Mt Graham is the second of my Rivendell shots to get picked up by Explorer on

Rene, Although it is important to find a comfortable position on the bike it is equally important off the bike, And it sounds like you may be spending more time lately in the office and/or on a computer than on a bike. So if that is the case, you may want to try moving your computer mouse to

René and Max: I love both those photos, and they obviously struck a chord with the flickr-viewing public! Congrats X2! Man I wish flickr would stay viable, but I've got a bad feeling about it's future... On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 10:16 PM, 'hangtownmatt' via RBW Owners Bunch

FWIW, I'm happy to report that the photo of the Atlantis on the morning commute made it to the Explorer Gallery in Flickr, and is going around the world as I write. My wife was mad this morning because my phone was beeping all night long (I was sleeping so deeply that I didn't even hear it) and at

Rene, that's a fun, great shot. And, it's at least the second Rivendell shot in recent weeks to end up in the Explorer Gallery. For reasons unknown to me, a shot of my Roadeo grinding up Mt Graham ended up in that Gallery: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41563482@N06/16651942876/ as you can

René, Congrats on rejoining the bike/train commuters of the bay area. Good to see your Atlantis (and you) reborn. If you are still encountering problems with pressure on your hands and are seeking to get even more upright, I have a 55cm Bosco Bar and thumbies you could try (although your new

Thanks John, I have several bars that I can continue to try, including the Bosco Bullmoose and the regular Bosco in several widths, as well as the smaller/narrower Nitto Promenade bars. I figure I'll try to keep riding and see how it goes, and what sort of minor adjustments (or major) seem to

Yes. The Boscos took care of my neck pain. Not entirely of the hands, although they certainly made quite an improvement over the drop bars. I remember having lots of hand pain with the Moustache bars, but that was when I was just beginning, so probably lots of positioning issues. Would be
