Wow, what a great looking Bombadil! Wish Grant made them in my size.
I noticed the Tioga Spyder pedals, I run them on my Saluki and love
them, my shoes are losing their tread on the spikes though. Cal

I have the Pari-motos on my Saluki 650b. I have had two flats over
900 miles. The rear tire is now without tread but I really like these
tires. They are light and fast and good for pavement and gravel. I
just bought replacement Pari motos from Riv HQ.

I have a crossmax kick bike. I have not been riding it much, but the

I have them on my Saluki. I have a top rack in the back and a small
nitto rack in the front. The brakes are very positive, stop quickly
and have a nice feel to them. Adjustment is easy with cable puller.
I recommend them.

I just fixed my first flat on the Pari motos, a small thorn pierced
the tread. Overall, I love the way these tires ride.

Beth and Lynne, thanks a bunch for a great day. It was fun. By the

to the car. Anyways, my daughter had me back on the Saluki and we
went to dinner, more rain! I love Portland! Cal

I really like pari motos on my Saluki. Great ride shots, I was in
Seattle a few weeks ago and enjoyed biking the Burke Gilman. I was on
my Surley long haul trucker, though.

Thanks. Yes I do have a day of business meetings on Monday and I am

Portland over 20 years ago, just trying to make sure where I am

I have the mountain bike version of the kickbike,fun. But what a

with a plastic shopping bag hanging off the handlebar. Usually you see
him scooting his dog.

I rode as I usually do. I rode the Saluki even though it had been

Saluki is still "new.

After riding the Saluki for a few weeks, not on an exclusive basis, I
think I know what that famous "Riv" ride feels like. Wow, how do they
do that? So smooth and comfortable. It is better than my surly long
haul trucker and definitely better than my carbon fiber bike. I just
sit here thinking

The SRAM levers are good. They are easier to grab. I also have the
interrupters on the bar. I am not sure I would have gotten them after
knowing how easy the SRAMS are to grab.

The dura ace shifters is just what I am use to, the SRAM levers are
good for smaller hands. Otherwise, a typical RIV build... I
wondered if I would notice a difference over my Surly LHT, there is a
noticeable difference in ride.
