I dislike mirrors that attach to the handlebars, but I LOVE the little bottle-cap mirror that attaches to my helmets. (Sometimes in red zip ties to keep them secure). You can find them in ETSY: https://www.etsy.com/listing/159575818/?ref=share_ios_native_controlLiz, who watches what goes on behind
Good question, Eric! We’re gonna try Microshifts that can be switched to go with either way. I use similar friction/index shifters on my Atlantis and always keep them switched to friction, the mode I prefer. Sent with delight from my iPhoneOn Jan 17, 2025, at 7:39 AM, Eric Daume wrote:Are you kee
The derailleur hanger has been checked and is straight. And as of today I have a new cassette. I’ve heard from James at Rivendell who mentioned blue Loctite and also said that a worn cog could cause the slipping so he also suggested a new cassette. I haven’t taken my test ride yet because, as Mathi
Thanks for your kind replies, friends…but there won’t be any curb hopping at this stage of the game. If I tried that, the least thing to worry about is a bumper. :) And, Sally, I’d love to see your Platy! Honestly, I love admiring what you all do with your bikes. Sent with delight from my iPadOn No

Chuck, you’re in my neighborhood!! I’d love to ride with you sometime…I’m currently rebuilding leg strength (after knee-replacement surgery) by adding miles and hills…usually on the roads—I’m only one big hill from the Little Miami bike trail in Indian Hill, Terrace Park, and Milford.Liz in Cincinn

I’m impressed with your ability to get down to it, Leah… even if you don’t turn up a solution (yet), the fact that you can interchange all of those parts on your own makes me wish I could do the same thing. Maybe that’s why ticks come to us…so our problem-solving muscles exercise.. Please keep upda

That might be me, Max. I’m 5’3” with a PBH of 81cm, and I ride one of those
original Atlantises. I’ll be attempting to buy a Platypus today.

Currently, I own my first Rivendell—a 20ish-year old Atlantis on which I’ve
ridden SO MANY miles, and a newer 52” Clem L.
My hope is to eventually sell the Atlantis…but, seriously, that’s gonna be
a hard one to let go. Time to make the changes, though.

I concur with Joyce’s list for cold-weather riding…lots of lightweight,
base-layer wool and layers atop that. I’d add to her list these wonderful
Descente wind-breaking gloves/mittens that I’ve worn for years. If
necessary, I can slip a foot warmer in the mitten part for more toast.

I certainly plan to pack my new Clem L for camping!
Long ago I spent weeks in Europe (on several different trips) on a
packed-out Motobecane Grand Touring bike with skinny little tires. I added
a temporary Blackburn rear rack, slapped some panniers on it, threw some
sort of front-bar bag on th

I also love that Laura shouted out “A PLATYPUS!” to a total stranger. :)

color)…I would be TERRIBLE at c
