I know you are mechanically inclined. I am not. But either way, I would
be impatient and would want to ride it immediately so I'd let them build
it. At least the first time. When I got my complete, I was so happy just
to jump on and ride it. It was 99% perfect. I hardly changed anything.
I've matched my paint to nail polish but the sun faded the nail polish to
almost white. I need to try to paint it again and find some UV clearcoat

Would the brake pads fit in my Tektro 559? Also interested in the bell.
I'll be at the Cary Amtrak tomorrow. Where are you located?

Leah, we could ride all states. We could cross off multiples at a time.
You've proably ridden many already - PA, NJ, MI, NV I think we'd be
almost halfway there.

Do your ride - your own way - on your bike. You know I only ride my
Betty. I ride w/plenty of carbon fiber, Ti bikes. I don't like to go that
fast so I usually don't do group road rides. I don't want to be going fast
w/people who I'm not familiar with or a route I'm not familiar with. I'v
Betty's were made in different sizes in different years. And in the later
years some were Yves Gomez and some were Cheviot. What other questions do
you have?

Thankfully I've removed my stem a few times - usually to box my bike when
flying. So hopefully my stem won't get seized. Last time was to Philly
when I saw Leah and met the Rivsisters. I'm planning to be there in

I've taken my train on Amtrak. The various regions operate differently.
Always call when in doubt. Their system is easier to tell what type of

Regional, Crescent, Carolinian, Palmetto. All in all, I've enjoyed it.

Great trip! S24Os are great for trying everything out. Lots of great
campsites from local ones to state parks to nat'l forests,etc. I've used
my Betty Foy for light touring. I've lived off my bike for 2 weeks at a
time. Thanks for sharing.

A helmet is never a bad idea. The pavement is hard whether you're in your
driveway alone or w/a a group. Most bike crashes are solo falls. Helmets
can help. More upside than downside to wearing a helmet. I'd rather plan
my next ride than waste time deciding whether to wear a helmet and whe
