The main differentiator for me is that Garmin's battery life (17 hrs)
compared to the iPhone's (4 hrs).
Assuming all works as planned, IPhone battery life will not be an issue for
me in a few days. Peter White shipped my BM Luxos U (dynamo light with
USB outlet charger) Thursday. As long

I rode a mountain bike on fire roads for about 7 miles once on an airless
rear tire. It was stuffed with grass and leaves. On this I will
actually agree with Jan, I have no desire to ride that again, it sucked.
I do remember as a child watching my dad try to get a solid tire on my

Yes it's a custom. ~4 years old. Modeled after my now gone Romulus.
I don't know what Grant did but it rides better (way better) than my Romulus
did.

Hi,
I recently purchased a Riv prototype frameset that was listed on the site a
few weeks ago. I'm building it up as a speedy roady bike as my Hillborne
is heavy duty cargo carrier at this point.
I'm having trouble this morning installing the rear derailleur. The bolt

You have done nothing wrong or missed anything. From judging your picture
it looks like there is an excess of the paint inside the hanger threads
therefore you might want to tap the the treads. Happened to me before with
new frames. BTW - Gorgeous frame!

Well for one...hot damn that's a great looking frame!! Excited to see this

As for the derailleur, I would bet it's paint giving you some hassle. I've
been surprised how little it takes to gum up smooth threading. A proper
thread chasing is all it should take. I picked up a tap
Not necessarily. Some of us like to log our activity and compare where we
are to where we were or where we aspire to be. Weight is a common data
point for many record keepers. I log my exercise workouts and have for
years. It's part of my everyday routine. I also like to look at trends over
time.
My M bars came with regular cushioned white bar tape on them. The less
padding in my gloves, the better I like them. Mine need a shorter stem to
bring them a tad closer, but I'm lazy. As they are though, I can get down
dead flat on them and fly downhills just like Pineapple Bob in the
picture.
Ok

Hi fellows,
I know you probably already have used the noodle...I can't get over how
comfortable they are. I have the bars pretty high to be in a more upright
position so even in the drops I'm comfortable. Mind you I like so many

Just want to say congratulations on the beautiful frame (as well as the

I too had seen the Long Ranger post on Jeff Jones' blog and noted the
similarities to the Appaloosa. Two prototypes from fringe, niche,
small-volume bicycle designers does not an industry change make, but I'm
still excited to see the possibilities that these type of bikes are moving
towards.

One concern I have about using Albatross bars is that I fear that the
