I wish somebody here would buy a pair and report back... I need to
know if they run long or short.

Every year when it starts to get cold, I undertake a futile search for
cycling pants that don't look like something from the ballet or the
circus. I mean pants, not lycra tights. And not rain pants, which
tend to be way too baggy and - if they're Rivendll - too orange. I
want nylon pants that bl
Add me to the list of people for whom the reaction to "hunqapillar" is

It just does nothing for me. Even if I knew what it meant I'd get
tired of explaining it to people when they ask. I'm sure this will be
a beautiful bike, like all Rivendells - so why bring it down with a
screwy name?
Bike theft is mostly a matter of time and place. No one will be
sawing at your lock while you're in a suburban Starbucks; but if
you're a student, or work in an ER at night, or like to bar-hop by
bike, things happen. It could even be taken from your locked garage
while you're on vacation. I think
Your story might even get me to wear a helmet again. But in the
winter, in Minnesota, a plastic helmet just doesn't cut it for
warmth.
How are you felling now? More or less back to normal?

Ouch. I'm 58 and still ride tubulars occassionally. Maybe I should re-

In your case would a mixte frame be helpful? Maybe not much, if you
swing the leg up and around from behind the saddle to get on. But
there are cool mixte frames to be had.

I don't think I've ever had gloves or mittens where the thumb wasn't
too short. They all seem to be made for the species that came right
before us.

This is pretty obviously a stolen bike. If the real owner sees this
listing he might be able to get a Minneapolis cop to make the trip
with him.

Bicycle chains have been refined and improved for well over 100 years
now. Belts are the future. Once there's a belt that's reliable AND
has a coupling, or a way to cut and re-bond it - so we can install it
on existing frames - look out. I know about the Speedhound frame but
it's very expensive
Thanks for those links. I love the belt concept but I was really
unimpressed with the part about it popping off the cog unless
everything is perfectly aligned. After a couple of painful mashups
like Bob describes, how could you ever trust the thing?

Wow that Berthoud setup looks like something you'd see on a bike
belonging to Hercule Poirot, sitting in front of a 5-star hotel.

That's sort of what I was looking for, although it looks short front-

Moots - yest that setup looks neat. And the R14 is probably worth the

The old MAFAC rack does look interesting if it could somehow merge

I do have a saddlebag, but it's too small in the winter and it's
canvas, I don't want to soak it. I already have a nylon 'trunk' bag
which is perfectly sized, but I don't need the support of the big

Most people seem to be looking for the strongest rear rack they can
find. They're carrying engine blocks down pothole-lined streets, or
crossing Mongolia solo. I want the opposite - the lightest, least
obtrusive rack there is. The rack for minimalists. I want to use a
"trunk' bag but I hate the

I think all you guys have convinced me the mediums will be ok. I
particularly appreciate learning about the difference in the fabrics
of grey vs. olive. I'm going to get a grey pair and just pray that
the crazy blue crotch is less noticeable than it appears in the photos
because t my age no one
I'm considering them but I read one review saying they were billowy in
front, and I hate pants like that. I'm a thin guy and am so tired of

weird blue crotch that looks like you just sat on something wet, but
