No need to fret, Steve. It's not national policy (yet). I see a beauty in
it, in that it requires you to want one bike more than any two you
currently have. That's good discipline for certain folks in certain
positions. What's your worry? Grin.

Just thought I'd add my own endorsement of this bag. I recently picked one
up from a list member and it's one of the best purchases I've made. This
bag works beautifully on bikes with no front rack, and can hold quite a

Sage advice, Manny. Thanks for this.
I agree that sometimes all it takes is a bit of positive vibes and some
good company, and things brighten up.

Love your pix as always, Manny.
But as this picture shows, and as I have reason to know, you CAN continue

Dealing with a lot of failures in my life lately.
Nothing too big or life changing or even that important.
Just inconvenient if not annoying.
Always amazes me on how a simple ride with some friends can make you feel
so much better about a situation.
Started the ride in a bad mood thinking that
Hi All,
I know this bike and Brian's a good friend. The Sam is in perfect shape.
It does need a good home and just as importantly Brian needs to fund a new
bike!
Thanks for taking a look.

I think that if you get your Albastach bars even or up to a few inches
above your seat you'll be amazed how comfortable the curves are. But, yes,
most of my riding is in the curves (there is a lot of variation I can do
with outer, middle, and inner curves). The bar ends are great for cruising,
I am leaning towards Albastache bars on my soon to be Hunq build, partly
from Patrick's recent threads and partly from talking to Brian at Rivendell
as this will be 60% trails and 40% road. Originally I was going with
Albatross but the current thinking is that the Albastache will give me more

To paraphrase GP from "Just Ride," the quickest way to a fast and nimble
and light bike is to trim the engine. Grin. I got a lot quicker when I

Not a huge amount of climbing, I live in Oklahoma. :)
I'm 5' 11" and weigh just shy of 400 lbs so I definately tend toward fatter
tires. I'll be riding with MTB riser bars and although I've always run a 3
x something drivetrain, I might change to a 2 x 9 or even a 1 x 9.
What I have now
Sounds perfect for fixed. Quickbeam. Moustache bars. Little Ben tires. But
I don't have experience with any of those, I'd just love to have an excuse
to. Grin.

Coverage test: Success! no mud in my eyes, some side spray and perhaps a

with unfendered wet, sloppy rides. Back stayed completely dry and mud-free.

Are you going to be climbing, or are those flat 10 miles?
How tall are you?
Based on the ac/deceleration requirement, light wheels would be a good
thing. That's where you'll potentially feel a difference. What size would
be based a bit on your height. Skinny 26X1" wheels/tires would start

I'm defining "sporty" and "nimble" as a bike that is designed to be ridden
primarily on pavement, in a way that involves a lot of
