Out with the old... well, actually, not very old at all. The following
items are in new to nearly new condition. The oldest of which has only
seen a 50 miles of use at most.

Hi John,
If you include north of town there is camping at Bunker Hills Park
http://www.anokacountyparks.com/camping/default.htm
in Coon Rapids. My recollection is that it is $15 a night and that includes
showers and flush toilets. There is nothing special about the campground
and nothing wrong
It would be a tough descent fixed, but yeah, climbing fixed would be
the way to go, especially if you didn't have 10lbs of crap in the
basket.
@Ron, sorry I didn't touch base with you. I left pretty early, before
8am.

This saddens me. I'm definitely feeling a difference between those two

Hey man, let me know when you ride out again on a Monday. I'm game for
anything local on my Quickbeam!

What i think is even most interesting is that the bike you ride when
you want to "keep up" (which i take to mean "go fast") isn't the
fastest. I think that the type of riding you do on a bike would have
more to do with the average speed than the weight of the bike itself.
If I rode my go-fast bike
Whoops, now I see what you mean. I guess the numbering caught up to itself.
:-) Just ignore my last post. Sigh.

Thanks All,
20 - 30 miles out is about where I wanted to be. A good ride in,
spend some time visiting the city and then back for a good meal at

Any ideas on good bike centric places to ride?

Works for me... I prefer the 175's. I feel like I climb better with a
longer crankarm. I'm a little concerned about Q factor though. I
prefer something a little wider.

Will agree with Bill on those. Also Lake Elmo Park Reserve in
Washington County. East of St. Paul. Again, probably 30 or so miles
from downtown Minneapolis.
Slightly further out - William O'Brien State Park. About 40 miles
from Minneapolis. Route is about half, or more on bike paths.
(Confess
having a few spare minutes this week, I looked at the performance/weight ratios
of my stable of 4 bikes. This will probably surprise no one, but there isn't
much difference between them. The bike that feels fastest, and the one I ride
when I want to "keep up" is actually third fastest, and so on

I would be very interested in a pair. I respect Chris for what he's
doing for the Riv/VO/etc. aspect of the industry, but there are times
when he's wrong, and his stance on 172.5's is one of those times.

Those Gran Cru cranks are slick and much more retro in look. Too bad
for me that Chris K insists I can't tell the difference between
172.5mm and 170. They should be available any day now. 46/30 is
going to be the right thing for a lot of things.

Supposed to take a 28 or 30 small chain ring. and hopefully under $200

That fancy smancy Sugino crankset uses an external BB... not something

Why not try a shim? Your LBS probably has them in stock and they

Sorry to bully the thread, but I also called Merry Sales. They don't
import it, and don't know what Sugino products they will add in 2011
until after Interbike in September. After Interbike, if they've
decided to bring that model in, then they'd be in the pipeline maybe
by Spring 2011. Obviously
I just called Riv and talked to Mark. They sometimes get big orders
directly from Sugino. Like a few times a year. The rest they

to special order one Sugino crankset from Rivendell direct to Sugino.

There was a posting a couple weeks ago about a new crankset from
Sugino - - a 110/74 double, IIRC.
Have these hit the market? If anyone knows how to get one, it would
seem perfect for the Roadeo I am building.
Any info much appreciated.

While I agree with Joel that that saddle seems over priced... I also
