Thanks for posting. The following year, 1983 spent 5 months touring in Europe, starting in UK and ending in Crete. To this day, wish I kept going and traveled around the world. Oh well, still a life changing trip. Sent from my iPad > On Sep 29, 2022, at 6:59 PM, 'Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bun

Re: [RBW] Your preferred non-leather saddle

Aww, that 80’s vintage Fuji Royale wasn’t so bad as long as you distributed weight properly - about double weight in front compared to back. What was scary were the descents with those side pull road brakes - seriously outmatched for a weighted Royale. How do I know this? 5+ months touring Eur

I’m a strong advocate of just enjoy the ride and the more people I see getting out on their bikes the better as good Ol’Mother Earth needs all the help we can give her. Here in Boston, there is a dramatic difference in the number of people I know see out and about on bikes compared to a decade

Garth, couldn’t have said it better myself. Whatever works for YOU is all that counts… …though I have been known to give pointers to relatively new riders on form, cadence, gearing etiquette, etc. to help them maintain pace in a paceline. Johnnysmooth > On Jul 26, 2022, at 8:44 AM, Garth wrot

You may want to take a look at Pika Bags. Believe they are based out of Utah and make a very nice soft bag for bike travel. I have one for my XL MTB. They may have one that will fit yours or be willing to do a slight custom for ya. John > On Jun 12, 2022, at 8:55 PM, Tom Conlon wrote: > > I

In a few weeks I'll join the Rivendell ranks taking possession of a new Atlantis 59cm. This will be my first more relaxed bike after decades of serious road biking - basically downshifting, partly due to health, partly due to changes in what I want a bike to do. For this Atlantis, I plan to do rel
