I wouldn't use ArmorAll. It's silcone based and not sure what it would do
the the sidewalls (I don't use it on anything for that reason).
I'd guess a latex based product like Cork LIfe would be better:

I saw some stuff at a shop that came in a little bottle and was
supposed to preserve sew-up tires.
I don't recall what it was called, but I wonder if it would be
beneficial to keep my stash of Trimlines nice and supple?

Ray,
Could you post or e-mail me your route? I live in Palo Alto and dream of
doing a ride like that as I get fitter and lose more weight. Perhaps on one
of your rides, you could even stop by so I can ride part of the way with
you, perhaps over the Dumbarton Bridge...

There is some other stuff in there too.

I agree with the color comment. I too, found you Bombadil when searching for
pictures to try to decide what color to have my Bombadil painted with. I
too, found it incredibly beautiful, but in the end, chose to go with a more
subdued look and went with the darkest green available, almost black in p

Thanks for the feedback. Your bikes look great, and I believe my goals for
the Bombadil match yours. Ride to the trails and enjoy the trails!
I'll be ordering a pair, most likely. Too bad they don't come in a wider

I am looking to sell the stock wheelset that came with my Quickbeam in
May.They were ridden 50 miles at most before I put my custom set on
the bike, and they are in Like - New condition. Included in this sale
would be:
- Wheelset consisting of the following components:
+ Mavic Open Sport 32H Rim
I am still getting rid of project stuff that is no longer projected.
I added a couple sets of Suntour power shifters. A super clean set of
thumbies, and a set of barenders either $45 shipped.
I also added a Selle San Marco Rolls saddle. I purchased this off a
display bike in a shop several years
Dick,
Add me to the list of those who have drooled over your stable. Great
bikes and great pictures as well! I found your collection when I was
looking for everything I could find about the Bombadil and your
pictures and comments did two things: they pushed me over the edge of

Hi Jim,
I'm 6 foot tall and weigh 140 soaking wet so am pretty thin. I wear
the MUSA long pants and they don't billow but lay flat in the front.
The seat billows out a bit but this actually works best on the bike
because you never feel constrained in the saddle. My wife
complimented me on how th
There is no doubt in my mind that I will regret this, but I need to
make a few holes in my bike pile, and raise a few bucks to pay some
medical expenses related to the birth of my daughter back in
September. Therefore, I'd like to sell my 58 cm Atlantis frameset and
some parts to go with it.

Waist is not that much of an issue as the design incorporates a cinch
belt (or whatever you call that belt in belt dealy) inside an elastic
band. I am just under 6' with a 33 inch inseam. The length of the

Hmmm -- I'm 2" taller and 170; perhaps I'll be returning for a medium. We'll

Thanks. I want trim but not tight. I chose based on the inseam and waist
measurements given, so I suppose my question comes down to, how accurate are
those measurements? I guess I'll find out in a few days.
It's just that I have never worn "small" before.

I have the shorts, knickers and pants and am very happy with them for
touring. The shorts were great this past summer on some casual rides
on very hot days. I wish the shorts were a tad longer and not quite as
wide around the opening. I wear them with ExOfficio underwear which

Also check out the new Devon panniers by Brooks. Quite expensive (280
pounds for one). But looks like it might fit the bill, with a change
of the handle on top to a longer strap. Which am guessing is an easy
swap.
I personally like the look of the Carradice Bike Bureau. But maybe

I'm definitely not thin (6' about 233 right now). The XL pants fit
right. And can layer something underneath when it gets cold. For

Thanks. The performance is indeed impressive. And they do look nice.

just right. I decided on the small because riv listed them as "full

seem more snug. I will consider a medium when I order the next pair.
