2:30 this afternoon, someone was riding a very nicely equipped
Atlantis around Washington Park. You passed me twice. I was on my
Atlantis also, and tried a "nice bike" but I think you had headphones
on. I was walking my dog, so couldn't chase you down.
The bike had mustache bars, SKS fenders (

Guys,
Sorry for the late reply, right after I posted to the list (by mistake, since I

It took me some time to recover and re-load all the software.

I'd take some sandpaper and sand off the paint right there to see if
the cracks are just in the paint or if they extend into the metal. If
they do, it'll be clear immediately and if they don't, you can rest
easy and find some touch-up paint. Since it's right next to the lug

I bought my new Quickbeam several weeks ago and I love it. However,
while building it up I noticed a few hairline cracks in the paint
under the top head lug. This is weird, as the rest of the bike is in

Tips for Happy Riding is probably my second favorite Rivendell/Grant

Probably the bags are patterned after the Ostrich bags Velo-Orange
sells.
The only leather I see on the saddle bag is the label.

I loved, loved, loved the "progress report" articles that were in the early

small business.
I like Grant's articles and editorials, but really enjoy his responses to
the original RBW
OK - actually the first article I read of Grant's pre-dates Rivendell,
(it's from the first BOB Gazette) but set the tone and vision that
remains constant to this day. It got me hooked and I've enjoyed the
ride since. Here it is:
