Ash, thank you ❤️
Evan, it was a lovely Hillborne. A couple (maybe 20s?) was walking their bikes
and waiting at the same crosswalk as we were. I did a double-take when I saw
her bike and said, “I like your Hillborne.” She shot me a quizzical look and
said thanks. Turned back around to face forw
You guys. The funniest part was that we called my husband on our way to Riv.
(He stayed back in Vegas to work, but joined us the next day for the rest of
the trip.) We made jokes about planning to buy another bike, and knowing that
would be ridiculous, he played along. When we finished at Riv y
Nice ride John.
The Roadeos do ride very well, predictable and fast.
What tires are you running? Compass/RH?

I have used the Porlex mini for 2 years now and it still works fine. Metal
burr grinders last longer and work better and in the long run are cheaper,
but require a lot of cash up front. Cheaper grinders wear out quickly, and
can be harder with light roasts especially before your first cup. If yo
Great story, Leah! Oh, and you saw a Sam and a Glorius all in one day in
San Francisco? That's awesome. Clearly you have excellent Riv radar.

I would not call your price too high. I am wondering about your levers,
though. Paul Love Levers are for long pull brakes. Cantis, side, and center
pull brakes all use Paul's canti levers. Are you sure you have the loves?

Very nice. I've thought of buying a Roadeo; it's at the top of my list for
a 700C derailleur bike.
Question (for all): How fat a tire can a Not-Legolas take?

We have a Kyocera coffee grinder and it is a typically perfect Japanese

I second the Porlex! Used it for a few years (not everyday) and it works great.

Looks great. Based on my 89 pbh, it looks like it would be just my size. :)
Roadeos and "not Legolas" customs are my dream bikes.

What a great story! Your writing is SO enjoyable. Thanks for sharing the

I had a hand grinder that was not the javapress but had a similar handle. It
stripped after a year or two of daily use. The stamped metal of the handle is
relatively soft, a poor choice for gripping the hexagonal nut on top of the

I have a porlex mini, but I’ve not seen a javapresse in person (let alone used
one). I suspect they both do a fine job of grinding beans. Looks like they both
use ceramic burr grinding mechanisms.
Main thing I notice is the javapresse seems to be a couple inches taller than

Hi all,
I will be living in a hotel for three weeks this summer. As a coffee geek,
the thought of being forced to drink hotel coffee during this time is a bit
frightening. Rather than hopping in a car and driving to a coffee shop, my
plan is to put together an on-the-go coffee kit that can be

Saddle? They are personal but I put a carved Brooks Cambium C-19 on my MIT

but not on this frame for me.
