Bill , the Tempo turned out really nice. I like the combination of the tape, sidewall tires and fenders against the light blue paint of the frame. It has me thinking of installing the Berthoud stainless fenders I have hanging in the garage on one of my bikes. I hope you are able to enjoy r

Tim, If you posted about those wheels here or on the ibob list I probably learned of them from you. I don't come up with much original but continually learn from the good folks on these lists. There are so many willing to share their knowledge and help others. Thanks to you all. Trying what m

So I sold a few bikes to pay for a mountain bike. You guys snapped up two of my three 650B bikes, and wanted the frames, but not the wheels. So I found myself with a surplus of 650B tires, and tried to sell off some, but you hardly bought any of them. So, it was irresistible, unavoidable tha
