These are pretty cool and easy to use. A friend started this company.

Well, I tell ya. I have two sets of wheels built by Rich and both are
great. My favorite set is a pair of Velocity Dyad hoops laced to Phil Rivy
hubs. That set absolutely rocks, I can't complain at all about them.
Thanks for sharing this!

Try moving your saddle all the way back and see what happens.
When my saddle was forward, I got numb hands. When moved further back, I
got aching hands.
When shoved all the way back, my hands are now feeling more comfo
Maybe you are gripping your handlebars harder on climbs or you focus
on making it through the climb and don't move your hands as much. I
know that for me, moving my hands around a bunch will help me prevent
the hand numbness...

To be honest though, even if it did a little damage I probably wouldn't

I think I just packed out the recess for the bolt head with presta value
nuts (or similar) and then installed the Pitlock. IIRC, the tightening nut
for the Pitlock is independent of the housing that contacts the frame, so I
suppose there should be very little, if any, marring.

I used the largest bearing ball that would fit and packed it in the bolt
head with beeswax softened in my hand. The beeswax hardens, darkens with
grime, and generally "appears" to be glue/epoxy. In three years of parking
the bike outside daily in downtown Denver, I never had any issues. The 2

Sometimes people need money fast so they sell low. Could be a good 650b

So what am I missing? Isn't 275 and freight paid a steal on this frame or
is it to common?? Looks like a much more expensive frame than what it's

I too live and ride in Portland all year and I second Beth's recommendation of
Rain Legs; great outside the body water protection, they pack up very small,
and great protection from over heating, so no "internal" moisture problems.

That's a good question, Michael! I don't have numeric temperature feedback

all winter long. Out here in mid-coast Maine, I can't really wear any

I use Pitlocks on my Quickbeam (seatpost and front wheel) and pack the bolt
head securing the saddle rails with a bearing ball and beeswax.
