Who has used this combo? The large basket is 18" but the "medium" (there is no small so how there can be a medium mystifies me) is 21" wide. Is the bast measurement smaller? How's it working for you? Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Jim is right. If I recall correctly from some interview he gave, although the LOTR connection was appreciated by Grant, the attitude and philosophy of RMW was what he really was modeling. He wanted to run a company like RMW, but with bikes. But as later product names attest, perhaps the Tolkien bec
