Hi all,
Before buying brand new online, I thought of taking my chances of
getting a used but in a good condition Nitto M12 front rack from the
group.
Please email me off list:

Yep.

"Stumpjumper". Got some press.

My wife just received a new Sam H and it's a beauty. The only problem
is that we can't get her B17 to stay in place; it slips to a nose-up
position with just moderate pressure on the back of the saddle.
I'm not sure of the seat post model; the bike is a mix of modest
components. I notice that the

Kind of a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway. Is the
difference between a Ti B17 and a regular B17 just that it weighs less
or is there some other advantage? The price differential is
substantial.

The mention of Mercian, reminded me of another option, while it's not
a GP designed frame, is lugged, full custom steel, to your spec and is
from France. About an eight week turn. For that matter, one could get
onto this, ride it for a couple years while awaiting their Riv.
Cyfac's "VINTAGE" is 10
Tig or filet brazed frame rather than fully lugged?

Thanks. My next task is to stomp on my bike desire and persuade myself that
I *don't* need a new bike to ride 1/4 mile to the grocery store.
(But, if I did that, I'd be doing it in real style with the Milano oh,
oh, oh)

One test ride sold me, and I've had my Milano since 1999. I've
recommended the Milano to several friends, and they also have liked
their bikes very much. The Milano feels faster than the numbers
indicate, and while I don't have a basket mounted, my guess is a
basket should work fine.
Good luck.
Speaking of the Milano, how has any owner/rider onlist found hiserhers?
Would it make a nice short-distance errand bike with the addition of
baskets?
I tried to buy my daughter one for myself but she wanted a cruiser (I got
her the 24" wheel Electra Townie 3i, which she loves).

Hi All,
Before this goes to ebay or craigslist thought I would offer it here first.
I am the original owner. Purchased this new from Durango Cyclery in 1982. The
frame has been very well taken care. In January of '09 I had it stripped and
powder-coated locally here in Ft. Collins
I have used some thin wall Ti handlebars and seatpost over the years
and found them not only very durable, but also have very good
vibration dampening properties.

The Surly LHT 26" wheel version will be available in sizes over 54cm

So you have a large variety of comfy tires to choose from.

Agree that the entire sport is different. This summer, went for my
first "mountain bike" rides since the late 1980's. The local trails
are entirely different. On an old, non-suspended bike, took a real
hammering. Created wrist pain that hadn't existed in many years.

and have never even had a flat. I do remember the tires fitting

What kind of rims do you have, and do you know if they're pinned or
welded seams? I only ask b/c if they are pinned you might want to
check your rim for structural issues.If the problem is an uneven
seam, wet sanding and/or steel wool might be your best bet, but you'd
have to be very careful
Good call. The Rambouillet is a great bike and I'm sure you'll be
happy with it.

It uses a normal low rider rack. Have you eyeballed the bike and it

$1075, but some shops may have them at the old price of $985. Of
course, to swap for a-bars, with the required levers, grips, cables,

Still the best deal on a bike that you're likely to find.

I agree about the LHT, but you can't build one up for less than a
