Re: [RBW] Re: Simple One - Heavy Frames?

[Bill Pustow]

I agree. I have a Rambouillet, Hilsen, Quickbeam, and a Specialize Roubaix. 
While none of the Riv's are close to the 16 pound Roubaix (although the Ram 
comes in at 19 pounds), I find I'm  mainly picking the Riv's for long hilly 
rides. For the recent 1000k brevet in Tn I rode Homer.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hilly Hundred

[Bill Pustow]

I agree on the tires. They are excellent. On the HH you do not need to be 
concerned with glass but you do need to watch out for riders that suddenly stop 
on the hills. The ride is notorious for that.

Re: [RBW] Re: PBP 2011 Ride Photos - a set on Flickr

Yes, the controls look a lot sparser than my (orange Hilsen) 90 hour start. 
That might be the way to go next time. Any thoughts, Eric or others?

Re: [RBW] Re: Fall Colors

[Bill Pustow]

While living in Michigan, my favorite trivia question was: which state has the 
most shoreline? People would normally  answer ether Florida or California. 
Answer is Michigan. Don't believe me?look at a map - it's surrounded by the 
Great Lakes. Beautiful state - except for the  Motor City.
