Deference in Brooklyn, that is something to write in about!!! Beautiful bike Peter, glad you're healthy enough to get on it before the weather comes in. But you have fenders, so no complaints right! :-)
BTW, the front end might feel funny due to the high bars + bag way out front combo. That's a lot of leverage. Try riding w/out the bag and see what it's like (presuming you rode as pictured). Again, great looking bike! On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 10:14 AM, Peter M <uscpeter11...@gmail.com> wrote: > So went out for the first ride on the new saluki in rapidly > approaching winter NY.
