So a few of my bags use corroplast stiffeners. It occurred to me that I
could make an entire handlebar bag out of corroplast. It's partly just for
a lark, and partly to prototype a bigger bag. It turned out so nicely, I
might start using it and see how it holds up. I've got some experience
I know, right? Maybe we should start a bike swapping reality show. The
swap will happen for one year, after which time you have to declare whether
you want to swap back or not. Only if both don't want to trade back is the
swap permanent.

Your offering to trade that??! I think you need to sleep on it. :-)

Could not believe how succesful Jinx was at doing his swap so I was
wondering if anyone out there with a 52cm Bombadil would ever consider
a swap for a 54 Hilsen. They have about the same standover but the
Hilsen has a shorter top tube but the real issue is my wife is stating

Dick met me near Indianapolis when he delivered my Hilsen this past
November. I enjoyed seeing the photos of your fitting. I was so excited
that day I neglected to take any pictures.
Enjoy your new Riv Pat, It's a beauty!

Depends on tires. With Jack Brown Greens, very similar. Homer is a little bit racier. Mine are both 700C, 65 cm AHH and 64 cm Atlantis. The bar/seat relationship is about the same though, since Homer's TT upslope is only 1.5 degrees while Atlantis's is 2.5 degrees. That 1 degree difference result
With all of this Atlantis lust you guys have got me wondering...
Being one of those too tall for the Atlantis, I've never ridden one. How
does it ride compared to the AHH?

Agreed. Cutting off the existing cable stops and putting a clamp-on solution is
the quickest/cheapest/dirtiest fix.
Once you've done that, a frame builder could sand the area and braze-on DT
bosses in a few minutes. Assuming you don't care about the paint, it's a
trivial fix for a competent bui
Hi! I am selling a Brooks B-67 saddle in honey. It's in excellent
condition: almost broken in, with only a couple of marks that I tried
to show in the photos.
I rode it for a couple of months on a bike with VO Porteur bars. The
saddle was too wide for me: I'm now riding a regular Brooks B-17

I just weighed one (1) Carradice Super C rear. Just under 2 1/2 pounds on
my produce scale, so 1150g would be for a single pannier.

Thanks, Bruce. And that's why Agile is smart to have a web form!
Google docs doesn't allow protecting individual cells or rows.
I deleted that column. When I get time, I'll rebuild it. So for now,

This discussion is making me think that in a year or so if things settle
down, maybe should be looking at an Atlantis again. Are times when I miss

Has anyone tried the new Brooks Land's End panniers? Look like roll-
top Ortliebs, but made from a matte, greyish-brown waterproof

price of the Ortliebs ($170 PER pannier). My assessment is that
