Sorry for the double post. I'm computer illiterate, I thought I was
editing. Maybe I'll get double your attention.

I'm going to sell this lovely new bicycle, because my back won't let
me ride it.
The beautiful blue frame was purchased from a store in Nashville
awhile back, and I built it up with old (but new (except the seat post
which is in mint condition)) Campagnolo Nuovo and Super Record parts

An addendum to my own message: I'm in SE Florida if anyone local
wants to take a look.

Just disovered I bent the Pitlock shaft on my seatpost binder. Didn't
think I was tightening it up _that_ much. Did find a 5mm bolt that
seems to work better on that bike.
If two bikes didn't have Pitlocks already, would try a set of the
Zefal.

A gap or a welded bead? Aren't those rims welded where they join? If
it is a raised area where there is a weld then a small wood sanding
block and some 200 grit should take it down but no too fast. If a
noticeable gap then I would not want that rim.

you may find that the pulsing goes away after a few rides. if it
persists, and really annoys you, you might consider very, very
carefully sanding it down.
I noticed something similar when I used to have a Nexus hub. At least
I think I remember experiencing something similar. But it seems odd
to me that the hub would have any effect on the braking. And no, I
haven't noticed a difference between when the lights are on. I'll try
to pay a li

I had that happen when I changed forks on a bike. I assumed it was
because the new fork was structurally not sound. Went back to the old
fork and it works fine.
I cannot think why a hub would be doing this. I wonder if the
cantilevers are too strong for the fork?

The pit lock skewer works on one of my bikes that has a binder post
that juts straight back from the seat tube similar to those by many of
the post war Italian builders and the steel lugged Treks.

They look like really nice bags. Did anyone else notice the apparent Sackville

They are big bags to be sure but it seems handy to be able to simply
chuck stuff into the cavernous abyss and ride away.
There is nothing more frustrating to me than to have to jam stuff into
a too small bag. Its kind of like having a miniature pickup truck.
The only problem is, fellow cyclists w
The pitlock seatpost binders are designed to work with bicycles that
use the old style q/r binder bolt. Works great on my 84 Stumpjumper
and on a similar vintage Trek MTB that I worked on. They don't
generally work with seatpost clamps that are not part of the frame,
and they don't tend to work on

I have pitlock skewers. I was unable to get the pitlock seat post
binders to work on several of my bikes, however. So I just ordered a
couple of the Zefal binders. Will report back once they arrive.

Wow, they're humungous. The "Large" is the largest large I've seen in a
regular-shaped saddlebag (I think it's bigger than the Carradice Camper by a
little bit).
Anyone out in Riv-land planning on buying one of these new bags
