This bike made it through the Harding Bike Sale. We had a few who wanted it but were not tall enough for it. Let me know if you are tall enough for a 69cm lugged steel frame. $80 is still the price, which goes to the Harding Elementary School PTA. Photos on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/phot

Re: [RBW] Re: Inquiry re Sagging Selle AnAtomica

Damn, every time I get on a Brooks-type saddle, I regret that I can't get comfortable on them, particularly the B17 and copies; even the Pro was sub-par. The best I've ridden was a wide-ass, sprung saddle on a hotrodded Electra Ticino fixie, but I was sitting bolt upright on that. I might have to b

Re: [RBW] Re: Rust on Chain Stay

There may also be a wicking action from any cloth not made thoroughly impermeable by the shellac soaking into it. At any rate, something one ought to consider on a nice bike if you ride regularly in the rain. Here in ABQ it would be largely a non-issue. On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 8:53 AM, islaysteve

I was under the impression that shellack is waterproof, but it is a good point. I will need to check periodically to make sure that the tape isn't scuffed to the point where becomes absorbant. Then a coat or two of shellack will reseal it. Steve On May 26, 10:10 am, Brett Lindenbach wrote: > a

Yea, Rob I remember that ride, esp. that 1st paved section after the Sulfur mtn climb. Beautiful country and the lack of traffic make it a fantastic loop. Maybe some time this summer we can get together for a ride in your area. Looks like I won't be moving south until later this year. ~mike On M

Yesterday I made it out for a few, five actually, hours to ride a loop up and over Sulphur Mountain down to Santa Paula and back home to Ventura. The ride is just under 50 miles and 4000 feet of total climbing. Almost a quarter of that is dirt, and about half is no or little traffic. The day was
