I would go with mohair, very plush. Co

Okay, so this is definitely off topic - but I am turning to this list
because I know it to be full of intelligent people interested in
quality of life issues and comfort. That said, please indulge me
I'm looking for a new reading chair. Are there any legendary chairs
out there, known for comfo
The Salsa bikes tend to be nicely finished, paint-wise, and the Fargos
and Vaya prototype I've seen were no exceptions. Of course, you may or
may not like the color, but the Salsa paint is well-done. Having
worked on and sold both Salsa and Rawland bikes, I wouldn't say one is
definitively "nicer"
Looked at the new Salsa... straight fork, no lugs, not a very nice
paint job... I see why it's much cheaper to make and buy.
The other competitor is the Rawland Drakkar... beautiful fork crown
and curves, some nice frame features and takes discs for those who

I can see that, not wanting canti studs there if they're not being
used
Okay, maybe a non-Rivish thought, but, since the Hunqa could be
considered a 29er, what about using disc brakes? (Have to admit, I
know little about 'em, seems like it just complicates things more than
they need to be,
I have used the DaVinci on two different travels bikes and on my Atlantis
for handlebar swaps and they work great. If the swapped handlebars require
different cable lengths I set each bar up with splitters on cables that are
the right length to mate with the splitters on the cables that stay on th

Same deal-tweaked cyclocross geometry for a disc-brake all 'rounder. I don't
know if the fork's any prettier though...wonder if either would make a suitable
