Ok wait wait wait, let's back up here. Your friend borrowed your bike for
the summer and carried a 40-45 lbs. dog 40-50km at a time and it was a
fixie?? That's badass.

Hey all,
Gearing up for my new Susie and need some rubber.
Looking for a pair of RH 700x55 Antelope Hill or Fleecer Ridge tires,
standard or extralight casing, in new or good-used condition.
Please respond off list, thanks!

Bill,
Thanks for the useful information, I was just curious is all. Maxway is the
Japanese company that built the frame?
Leah: Sage green. It's beautiful but orange would be the holy grail. My 7
yr. old grandson liked the color so much he (we) are painting his beat up
old Diamond Back to match,
Is anyone available tomorrow to meet at the Spritzenhaus 33 in Greenpoint?
Say 4 or 5ish?

Just in case any cargo fork responders are COMPLETELY committed to cargo
fork life, I would be interested in buying a 1" steertube cantilever brake
fork for a 650B x fat front wheel. A Rosco Bubbe Mixte fork or a Clem fork
would work, among others. Let me know if you want to finance that Cargo

There's no way Rivendell has had 2481 samples made by Maxway. It's
probably just a rolling counter. I'll look at my early Hillborne next time
I'm in Michigan.
My wife's Yves Gomez is M9010018. It was not made in 2090, or 1990, haha.
But 2009 is believable. So no leading zero, OK.
Hey there everyone. So, it's that time of the year again. Cleaning out
things, need to make some space. Need to fund parts for other projects,
etc... I'll try to list everything below in the order it appears in the
google photo album linked directly below. Please email me at

Another vote for BagsXbird. I was a perennial saddlebag switcher for years,
but my small bxb bag hasn't left the bike since i got it. I also bought a
bigger one for overnights/touring. They are expensive but the quality is
phenomenal and he's really solved/added some cool and useful details to t
I agree about it not being able to carry all that much more weight than a
solid front rack. I think the real benefit of it is the size capacity.
Because it's lower, you can put a much bigger basket or crate on it, and
really stack items. We take a full beach setup on mine over the summer.

the side. 95$ shipped

I personally found that the Clydesdale fork was not substantially better
than a robust rack on a low trail fork. I had purchased it with the
intention of groceries, wood shop materials, and eventually a puppy. My
experience is that much over 40lbs it feels no less better than a on my

Bill, how interesting! After reading this, you know I had to look at my
Platypus serial number. It’s one of the first Platys made, their final
sample before the production run, I think, and this is the number:

People were discussing the decoding of Maxway serial numbers recently. I
think they decided that it's M for Maxway, who made it. Then YY for the
year, in your case 2018, then MM for the month, in your case October,
followed by a sequence number, in your case 0041. I think they got

Hello,
I recently bought a new Cheviot frame from a list member that I'm slowly
building up. Trying to find out the year of production, where produced,
etc. I think they were first released around 2014 or 2015, but anyone know
when they stopped and how many were made?

I haven’t tried the IRD mounts but I have a DA front shifter mounted on a Paul
thumbie on the stem of my Sam. The rear shifter is a bar end. I love this combo
on that bike! I rarely use the front so it’s nice and out of the way. I like
the ease of access to bar end shifter but occasionally I do
I run two copies of the IRD stem shifter mount and it's a sensational
product in my opinion and the right choice for several different
situations. One potential shortcoming or warning is that it's a clamshell
clamp with a thin pivot pin. Since it wraps completely around the stem, it
needs ver
I ran that exact experiment with both bullmoose and regular Boscos after
experiencing similar issues with barcons. The IRD stem shifter worked fine, but
the Achilles’ heel was the band that clamps around the stem — it was made of a
cheap metal that broke within a year. The shifters are integrate
I meant to say steering tube mounted shifters for the Schwinns.

I used the IRD stem mount for years on my Sam Hillborne. My 1st 3
derailleur bikes were all Schwinns with headtube mounted shifters
(Suburban, Varsity and Super Sport in the early 70s) and they were what I
learned to shift on, so they seem natural to me. I rode downtube shifters
for many years
I also like that the shift cable isn't wrapped to the bar. The length of
the cable is less and seems to be more direct to the boss on the DT,
wondering if that improves shifting in any way?

Also, Minh - there is a bike lane all the way down Bedford from Eastern
Parkway to where it ends at Emmons. And then the Jamaica Bay Greenway
around to Floyd Bennett and across the Marine Parkway Bridge.

I haven't tried it out but I often think that the stem is one of the best
places for shifters but it suffers a bad reputation from cheap 70s bikes.
On my new Clem I thought about mounting the thumbshifter on the stem. I
still might at some point. I think its a smart location.

Wondering anyone has tried out the said quill mount? How was the experience

I'm running bar-ends on a the Bluelug Bullmoose Bosco, and have been giving

location. I love having th
