I must clean out the absurd amount of stuff I've amassed over the years,
namely two Atlantises. I'd prefer to sell locally, in the SF Bay Area.
Here's a link with all the stuff:

I've been pretty happy with my Continental Sport Contacts 26x1.6.
They ride nicely and have decent puncture protection. Plus you can get
them with a reflective sidewall which is nice.

It comes down to your aesthetic sense. If you are not that much into

But if you do care about the details, then I think you'd have to look

Ha! Thanks for all the info guys.
I think I'll go with Sheldon's method for low security stops, and
Lee's lock up method for longer/sketchier stops. The bike-link card
for BART parking sounds interesting.
That's a good point Lee made about Sheldon's method being susceptible
to damage by the know-
Hi All. I just moved to Oakland (Rockridge) from Houston and I'm

I'm on week 1 of an international trip where I packed some camping
gear including John's Irish straps (2 short, 1 long).
My wife forgot a belt, so guess what one strap is being used for?
Looks good too.
I've also used them to tie down some clothes while it dries on t

Hello. Does anyone have a Rivendell Reader CD, issues# 12 - 25 that
they are done with? I have the discs for 1-11, and 26-35, but am
missing 12 -25 in pdf format.
I also have most of these in original paper format, so we could also
work out a trade.
I've recently switched to an e-reader, so befo
Anyone else have the riv look spreading to their non-riv bikes? Its
hard to just leave these nice extra riv parts sitting around the
garage.
This one is a 1995 Kona Hot (steel, of course) with albatross bars and

Who knows - we could see Japanese-built Atlantises again if the Dollar

They roll faster than I expected on the road and quite nimble off-
road, but that may be the adrenaline shot of a new bike talking.
Big fun, nonetheless.

Even with puny 35mm Schwalbe Supremes and SKS 45mm fenders, I can get
toe strike on my 58cm Atlantis if I try hard enough on start-up. This
is because sometimes my (size 12) foot placement on Grip Kings is
accidentally too far forward initially on start-up.
But its not a major issue for me. Like
