Well, since I created the thread and its title, I'll take the opportunity to clarify. In fact, a compact double and some bigger tires are exactly what I had in mind as what was "needed" in terms of equipment (which would have given their users a competitive advantage unless everyone used them). But the subtext, of course, was that some country bike attitude was "needed" as well. Someday all those lycra- lugged losers walking their expensive toys up the hill are going to wonder what it was that attracted them to the sport. With any luck, right about that time, a friend will hand them a battered 1994 Bicycle Catalogue From Bridgestone. After briefly ogling the girl on the cover, they'll turn to the dog-eared page 12 and discover How To Ride A Bike Forever. td --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
