No, nor I. We do our dirt road rides on all-arounders, manyy Rivendell, in fact. I use a Saluki, my friend Tom has a Riv All-Arounder he got on ebay, and Joan has a Bleriot. Another popular model in our group is the Surly LHT - there are two or three of those. And one core group member rides a full suspension recumbent. Dirt roads can be enormous fun. Great scenery, and you definitely won't be bored. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
