If anybody in this discussion would like to continue discussing bicycles,
riding, and spirituality (of all types) "off list," I'd be happy to host
such a thing in the comments section of my blog:

Erik,
+1 on thanks for your thorough response.
We (cyclists, not necessarily this group) don't talk nearly enough about
the spiritual component of cycling, so thanks to John for starting this
thread.

Hi Johnny,
Bike shops are out of a lot of things, but I can't imagine they don't have
brake mounting bolts at any local shop. (But then, there's a lot of things
about this latest bike boom I thought I'd never see, so...) I guess it
depends how particular you are about the bolts you get. I'm sure
Samuel, my two cents is to just call Paul. I'm sure they'll be able to tell
you the exact procedure. They're very friendly that way.

I like it. Are those hubs from a Vanilla/Speedvagen? Looks sort of like
their paintwork.

I appreciate the light-hearted post. But we've been down the road of
second-guessing Grant, Will, and Co.'s business dealings before. Instead, let's

Am I seeing a second saddle rail? If so, wouldnt that require a special

I have no experience with sprung saddles like this, but it looks like it would

IMO, Nitto would be foolish not to warranty this stem (and bar, since mistakes
in one damaged the other.) Do they know how much you've $pent on their products
(and will)? And your massive social media presence?
Now, I'm not encouraging gouging Nitto (see what I did there?) for 'free'

I find that it's also good for coating unpainted steel that likes to rust. In

Have you contacted Paul? They often seem to do special request kinda things for

So are you going to keep it, Bill? That's a rare and nearly mythical beast! But

I'm confused why a cracked bb shell on a qb would be a goner? Did they go away

Jason, IF I remember correctly, the Bleriot was a Riv/QBP joint venture.
I'm only guessing, but I doubt it's GP that's holding up its comeback. From the
Q point of view, they probably have an All City or Surly that "replaced" it.

I worked at a Schwinn shop in 1987 and the mentor who got me started road
