Very cool, Amit! I tried something similar with my dad but his arthritic
knees made cycling painful for him. At least we can still drink beers and
shoot skeet together...B-)

Amit, Sounds like all of us agree you should snap up the Saluki, now on to
the more complex question of motivating your 70 year old Dad.
I'm closing in on 67 and have spent a good chunk of the last decade
motivating my wife (64) to ride more with me. So I can write from
experience. As we
Thanks for all of the positive encouragement friends!
I'm trying to get dad's and my schedule to align to ride the Shoreline West
Bicycle Tour along the coast of Lake Michigan ... 2 tickets recently became
available (stars are aligning!) and I think it would be a beautiful way to
start. 40 -
I love the Riding with Lance advice!

You won't want to be introducing your dad to a new saddle before a big ride.
No complaints is hard to come by with bike seats; roll with it.

Amit,
I've been riding the same B17 for about 10 years, so it's well broken
in. I just got a berthoud, and while it sure looks nice, i find the
B17 a little more comfortable (most likely due to the break-in i'm
still doing on the berthoud), outside of that they are pretty similiar

geez, what a great post. personally i'd grab that saluki (full disclosure:
i love 650B). you're not gonna find a value like that again, and i'm sure
your friend considers it a fair price. if you feel a twinge of guilt, offer
him a little bit more cash. either bike would be perfect for your
Get that Saluki right away. I like the Hillborne alot but those straight TT

Yep, if he's comfortable selling for that price, snap it up. Let your dad
ride it for a while, and if he doesn't get into it, offer to sell it back.
The worst that could happen is your dad doesn't want it; your friend doesn't
want it back; and you sell it for a profit to one of us deep-pocketed
Saluki,Saluki,Saluki!!! The magic carpet ride w. Hetres. The sweet spot in

Okay, bias time here - own an early Hillborne and my one 650B
experience was not good. So my recommendation? Saluki. A beautiful
bike. And as you say, it stays in the family. Do it. If you feel
guilt later, you can get the Hillborne. You probably won't find
another Saluki anytime soon.

The Saluki is one special bike. There's a reason you don't see them
cropping up on the used market. It is a very good deal, but not the deal of
the century, so don't feel guilty about it. Hope it works out and that your
father is able to put many miles on it!
On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 6:28 PM,
Here's hoping that this will be my son and I in 20 years!!!
Congratulations on what you're doing and like everyone else said, get the
Saluki!

What dad doesn't want to go on a bike ride with his kid? Maybe try borrowing
a bike and going on a pedal adventure or 2 with dad. Then judge if he's into
it enough to justify the expense of buying a bike.
