I've noticed a very cool characteristic of my new CLEM: It has this sense of
winding up slowly, them momentum takes over and shoots me forward, almost like
my Fiat Abarth when the turbo kicks in. I don't know what magic Grant mixed
into those tubes and angles, but it rides like a spring uncoilin

a great time to visit my Silver Spring, MD grandson, meet up with my DC area

Erl, I'll say once again how much I enjoyed the trip with you and our
conversations. I was very happy to score a "vintage" Baggins Banana bag and a
long-cage 105 RD. I agree, this is total bike geek event, I look forward to
next year. It wil be 50 degrees and we will take the Miata up! Cheer

Where else do you see a maker with his own custom-made derailleurs? And the

I bought this from a list member a couple months ago, advertised as a 13cm.
Went to install it yesterday and turns out it's a 12cm, which I already
have, instead of a 13cm.
For reference: Nitto measures extension center to center in the center line
of the extension.
So:
