There are bikes everywhere in NYC. NYC is both friendly and quite
unfriendly for bikes depending on where you are at the moment. You
will see riders at night with and without any kind of light or

Took the first real ride today on my new wheels. Rich built Velocity Aeroheats

I thought I'd jump in on the end-of-year swap meet and offer a pair of
Schwalbe Big Apple tires and tubes. These are the 50x622 size. They've
been ridden about 50 miles worth. They came of off my wife's Atlantis.

I dig those modern wheels on your Rambouillet, and yep, wheels
certainly affect the ride and ride quality; I found the same when I
upgraded my Ram wheels recently. I've come to enjoy the mixing and
usage (and results!) of classic and new parts.
Happy new year,

Not a Nitto, but still quite nice. It's marked "Medallion 1000
Kashaki." Forged in Japan. It came off my 1978 Centurion Pro Tour.
It's got some scratches, but overall it's a nice, shiny finish. Good
quality hardware, too. Clamps 26.0 bars and fits regular 1" steers.
100mm extension. Pictures here:

Nice looking bike! I like the wheels, the silver sidewalls make them
look good.
My Rambouillet also sports a pair of wheels built with Phil Wood hubs

Video brings back a lot of good memories of visiting my Uncle Al's farm in
Napa. We'd drive up to Yontsvills and Calistonga every now and then.
Always wanted to ride a bike up the valley!

Eric,
I used to ride with Larry B. back in my Davis Bike Club days (say,
1984 - 92). Good to see he's still on the road! Does he still ride
in top gear all the time like he did back then? My knees used to hurt
just thinking about it!
Any other long-time Davis riders in the group?

Happy New Year to all.
Just a quickie to direct to a pic of my Bleriot. I went out today with
the local MUP organization (they made the trail happen, and are
actively planning more)

Rich builds very nice wheels and he builds all the wheels my wife and
I have.
He build me a set of Campy hubs with Aerohead, two years later and
many miles in SF, true and no problem at all.
If you feel flush on day, ask Rich about the DT Swiss 240/Open Pro,
1500g a pair.

What performance trait are you hoping to experience with the MaxiCars? I'd use
them just because I could! The hoops are where the performance feel comes from.

I hope you love it! I had one in the same size and it was a great bike.
