Dave Sweet dummy! I like the seats back there on the xtracycle. My LBS has a Big Dummy with a stoke monkey electric assist and my son makes the owner give him a ride every time we stop by. On Aug 27, 1:57 pm, Dave Lloyd wrote: > Here's our every day ride to school (my son Gus and I are on the Bi

I thought people on here might have had a similar proud parent moment! My son asked me this am; so are we taking the bike again to school! This is his first week of Kindergarten, a big boy now. His school is only about 1 mile away and it sure is nice to skip the drop off/pick up lines! Anyway Happ

2010-07-23 Thread Eduardo Rosas
So I'm finally getting close to getting my custom lugged "randonneur" type bike from a local builder. So naturally I'm stocking up on older proven technology like down-tube shifters. I finally found a nice set of c-record campy friction shifters that weren't all banged up, but... I could only fin

Great pics Manny! Looks like you guys had fun. If you decide to head south, Manresa beach (south of SC) is a great place to stay (reservations recommended). The site is about 45-50 miles south of Santa Jose. --Eddie On Jul 7, 8:23 pm, manueljohnacosta wrote: > My buddy and I decided out of the

I've only been riding these pedals for about a month, but i love them. I'm a relatively new rider (about 1 year in the saddle) but i did a 100K and some single track with these pedals. They spin so easily and with mks clips and straps they look fantastic. Not sure where you live but there is a smal
