Greetings, August 9th I'm riding from Sunnyvale to San Luis Obispo. I'll be riding a tandem with my 8 yr old boy. The mileage will vary from 40-60 miles per day with stops for waterfalls, animals, volcanic plugs and other unique sights. I'm always up for a s24o. I'm flexible as to distance an

Didn't see any discussion on the archives about these tires. Anyone ridden them? Or the fatty 650Bs from Schwalbe that Riv sells? I'm anxious to try a fat tire, and would like the Hetre were it not for the $62 price tag. I realize these Schwalbes may not compare, but I'd like some input on how

Robert, Good luck and have fun! Question: what is the front rack on your bike?  I had issues with mine (Tubus Nova SS) on my 2008 1,300 miles tour of Quebec, and, planning ahead for 2010, your setup looks like just what I need... Thanks, David --- On Sat, 7/4/09, Robert Kirkpatrick wrote: Fro

I was interested in your comment that there was a recent price increase for Brooks saddles. I purchased a new Brooks B.17 Champion Special saddle with copper rails and the honey finish this week from my LBS and experienced the opposite. The saddle, which was newly added to their stock (they just

Hey all, So once again I'm setting off on tour my my trusty Atlantis. Running about the same setup some of you might remember from my 2007 tour, but with of course some modifications based on lessons learned and a bit extra stuff as its a bit longer tour. Anyway I'll be blogging when I ca

Got my cork-flavored Berthoud from Jim at Hiawatha the other day. I believe they're currently selling their second shipment. Not sure what they have in stock now, but you might give Jim a shout. Great looking saddles with some smart touches. Haven't had time to take mine for a ride yet. Brian On

I have a Cork Berthoud on order as well. They look great. Peter White suggests something to keep the rear bolts secure. Bees wax might make the most sense. On Jul 4, 5:26 am, fenderbender wrote: > Thanks, blond it is then! I've always wanted a bike with curly lugs > and brown lether bits but

Thanks, blond it is then! I've always wanted a bike with curly lugs and brown lether bits but never had the patience to save up for one. So I couldn't believe my eyes when this unused frame turned up in the local classifieds at a bargain price. The seller even lowered price without me asking! If i
