Thanks for those links. I have great respect for Paul Sadoff's bikes, too, and
his Oregon Manifest project was beautiful.

Really cogent points about Keith and his place in recent cycling history.
Thanks for mentioning them.
A few of his posted "rants" are still findable via the web. A lot
disappeared after the acquisition. But, "The Myth of KOPS" is also superb
and relates significantly to GP's rider placement

And that's one reason I also love this list - the Rock Lobster NonTrager "rant"
and the Bontrager Ti 69er conversion thread were great reads I never would have

This is what I love about this group. The only thing hanging in my
garage in larger numbers than Bridgestones and Rivendells are old
Bontragers.

Again, the iPad eats a post. Basically I said, "blah blah blah, look at this:

I agree with Velomann about never selling my Bontrager, but I've seen

+1 for Burrito wraps... I use that exclusively on my open-wheeled bike.

drove a dumptruck full of cash up to his house. Or is the story different?
Anyone know how Trek came to acquire the name?

there are those among us who love the Rivendell bikes but prefer more
modern accouterments and style.
Also thanks for the new word. Didn't know what a koan was until today.

This could be a good thread idea"What's your favorite stayph bike?"
I like Mark's bikes, especially the custom, but I have to say my favorite
is Brian's Hunqapillar and second would be Jenny's Hilsen. I just really
like that small frame, double top tube combined with the color of the
frame

I'm amused that Mark's bikes are so admired, and yet so um...
conventional? traditional? un-rivvish? in their
And the burrito wrap seems to come loose and get dropped- maybe just for me?
Much higher risk to get lost. I keep just the essentials and tie it up with
hemp twine and then use the strap through the twine. It takes a few extra
minutes to open but is much more secure, gives me some twine if I nee

I would actually recommend against stashing a cellphone into the burrito
wrap - you'd be amazed how much vibration does come up through the frame
for anyone who tends to vector off onto trails and non-paved routes. I've

No kidding. Mark might have another grey bike, too. The 'cross bike is a Top
Three bike for me. Perfect.
You know what looks great? The burrito wrap. I believe I will heist that for my
bikes. I've never used one, but I do have a set of tools and such for each
bike, including a pump, a blinky, an

the Bonty is nice too. Not sure how a 650b-26er rides, could be a blast!
