[RBW] Stein's 'Hypercracker' Tool and Riv Dropouts

I agree that the hanger is the better plan 'cause the amount of force required will definitely send that eyelet far down the road. Hopefully you'll never need it, that device strikes me as a new problem presented to solve the original one. -- You received this message because you are subscrib

Yeah, I'm ever surprised by peoples abilities to shoot themselves in the foot with confusing or simply inaccurate listings. I definitely prefer the look of lugs, especially on randos and touring rides. I still think the Tournesols were a cool mixture of modern and classic. -- You received this

[RBW] Re: Fishnet longjohn/ boiled wool/ ventile system details

I'll second the benefit of investment in cold/wet weather vestments. While not nearly the extreme s of Patrick's ventures, mine have become sort of mundane and my shell layers have stopped representing disappointment by year two or three's use. My commuting travels rarely produce such vivd ima

I have the wiggys fishnet stuff. It works really well. Order larger than you would normally do. I suspect the bottoms are ok, but the tops definitely need a size boost. The liner jacket is very nice. Your first impression may be thin insulation-wise but it works well. Wiggy know what he's doin

[RBW] Re: Slightly OT PSA IndyFab/Hampsten Tournesol

Before I started getting into steel, I thought lugs were for "cheap" bikes. Like the bike company needed them to keep their tubes in place or something. Of course I didn't know anything about bike building. Now I love the look of lugs and prefer them on my bikes, even though apparently they don'

Looks a lot bigger than a 54! P.S. Try as I might, I just can’t love a TIG-welded frame. Call me old-fashioned, but a steel frame should be either lugged (preferred) or fillet brazed (second choice). I do have one TIG-ed frame, and it’s just fine, but it’s a bike that’s built for utility rather

And here I was thinking I was the only one holding a candle for lightweight 26"-wheeled allroad bikes! I bought a pristine 1993 Bridgestone MB-1 a few years ago, converted it to drop bars (a la the 1987 model), and put on a pair of Rat Trap Pass ELs. It's my favorite road bike I've ever had - th
