Just got back from a ride in my MUSA shorts. I haven't found perfect
shorts, but they're pretty darn good. Their knickers are the best though.
Well, adding 1% Lycra would make 'em even more the best.

Been wearing the MUSA shorts for most of my rides this summer, but had
to pull out the knickers today. High about 60 with a wind from the NW

positively chilly in the air.

Agreed. I've been wearing MUSA knickers and shorts on most of my rides
this summer and am very happy with them. I love the shorts for bumming
around and while I wish they weren't so billowy and were a little
longer, I've grown to love them. The knickers are good too. The new
navy blue is great. And

That is stunning. I thought I'd moved beyond bike lust but it's still
there. I too especially like the orange cable housings. Great photo
work.

I'll do that tonight. Jay told me that they were thinking of making
the head tube decal into a proper head badge. I'm hoping they follow
through with that. It sounds like it'll come down to dollars. I
offered to pay my part.

Saw somewhere on the group that Waterford's frame-building process
involved holding the frame in such a way as to make it difficult to
drill and/or thread the fender 'boss under the bridge. Merely
parroting; I don't know enough to know whether this makes sense. But I
do like appearing knowledgable!
Not mine or my size, but thought there might be some interest here:

Oops.
Guess the original topic was to do with trail riding with Ram/ Roms.
I'm sure they are both excellant choices for the creeper.

Cross levers really help on the descent from

That's usually my longest ride(s) of the year...what is it like 67-68 miles

Not sure about the Sam forks. I think the Hunqa forks were supposed to
be Toyo-built. That said, I have a first run (Taiwanese?) Sam (bought
Sept 09), which has the 3 dot fork crown, slender fork blades, and
cantilevers (but has the seatstay bridge with the hole underneath for
direct fender mountin

Jamison,
It is good of you to share these difficult issues with which you are
dealing. I am desperately searching for a support group for owners of
match-built Riv Roads AND maxway-built, green Sams with non-spotted forks.
