can't/won't go back to buying roasted beans. I'm currently in the garage
roasting a few lbs for the upcoming week.
For brewing, I have been pretty dedicated to the aeropress lately. It seems

Happy New Year's to all.
I am starting the new year off by selling my Rivendell Bleriot. Purchased
2nd hand in 2018. I have ridden many miles in many states with this bike

FYI, a few years ago I ordered a frame from VeloMine and had to call for
some reason, but during that call I had asked about their wheelsets and was
told they are just the stock wheels that QBP sells. They just purchase mass
amounts of them and sell them. So any bike shop with a QBP account can

Hey Folks,

stuff I've been hoarding. Prices include shipping (CONUS) except for bikes
which are local pickup only for now. All prices are net to me. Discounts
for purchases of multiple items. If my
I just called and ordered a rebuild kit for my VP-001's from Riv last week.
They had 4 in stock when I called.
I had the same click. Attempted to take them apart and stripped out the
nut. Right side is reverse threaded. I learned the hard way. Look into it
more than i did.

Hey RBW people. I had been hanging onto these rims and hubs for a long time

Someone should buy this bike!!!
I have this bike. Or at least had. I just sold it off to my friend who wanted
it (but it's still at my house). I don't see many of the 1985's. It's good to
see yours. Mine has gone through many iterations. Sweep back bars, slick tires
and fenders. Then wide flar
My only Christmas bike memory was when I was about 7 or 8. I had no expectation

I would love to know the answer to this as well before ordering a pair. As far
as I know dynasis requires about 1.1 mm more pull per shift than Shimano road.
I like 10 speed friction for road, so it would be nice to find something that
allows for this amount of travel to use for more off road de

I'm going to answer your question a bit differently because I've been going

After building and riding many bikes that have been cheaper Rivendell inspired
builds, I was able to buy my first Riv last summer. A 57cm Bleriot.
Unfortunately I bought it at a time when biking and bike tinkering were mostly
at a halt due to having a second child and buying our first home. So t
A few years ago I was riding home through a local park with some unpaved
walking trails. It was very dark with no light except my rechargeable headlight
which hadn't seen a charge in a while. I could barely see the trail with the
dying light, but somehow I caught glimpse of a bat came flying tow
Here is a link to a bike tour I did a few years ago in and out of Boise. We
did it in four days, but lots of options to extend along the way. The
scenery was great and the hot springs at Pine Flat were awesome.

I've used Obenaufs for years, and have more recently been using Huberd's
for leather shoes, boots, and leather notebooks. It smells great, but maybe
not quite as weather resistant as Obenaufs. For that reason I use Obenaufs
on my Brooks saddles.

Kip,
May I recommend this podcast on bike touring the Pacific Coast:

Also, he has other episodes that discuss different sections he has done that
were shorter. I think in 2017 he did a southern Oregon to San Francisco ride.

I am a big fan of hammock camping for similar reasons. Its not bulky to pack
and my set up is lighter than a tent, plus you arent always searching for a
flat spot. And the biggest reason: I just sleep way better in a hammock.

I have almost exact dimensions as OP. I was at the Stop Swap and Save a few

set up with some form of sweep back bars which may have worked,
I've been riding 32mm Compass for a year on lots of different terrain. The only
flat I received came while touring. I then lowered the pressure from 80 psi to

I don't track miles but I would assume I'm under 1000 on them.

I have had this idea to make a stem cap that allows you to use a quill bolt.
Then you could use a threadless adapter+threadless stem as one quill stem and
just use spacers to cover the ugliness. Does anyone know if such a stem cap

I have run into this issue before. I determined it to be a faulty front

I have done a fair amount of backpacking and bike camping in the past and one
trick that I have always done is to evaluate my gear when I get back.
Since you already have a list for what you are bringing, when you get home

This reminds me of a similar story. A few years ago I was touring on the C&O
