Michael, very little... Both weather and work travel have conspired. One time last week and two the week before. The lack if riding has definitely affected my mood for the worse!! How about you? Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunc

The salt is definitely a mess, and the wet melty snow/ice/salt mix is even worse. From a frame perspective, I've been pretty good about wiping down the frames and fenders help a ton... I really see no point in staying off the trails from a frame/finish perspective unless the bike is more a collect

Re: [RBW] Re: Show me your albatrosses!
