Thanks all for the comments, I'm fortunate that I don't spend my money
on fancy cars ;-)
Brian, those are shimano bar end shifters residing on Paul Components
Thumbies.

The bag was purchased last summer from Wallingford Bikes and is in
good shape. I am going with a smaller bag.

Hey,
That looks like a military pouch. This summer I was in an Army/Navy
surplus store
in North Carolina and saw some bags similar to this one. I think the
one I saw was
Swiss. if I can find their address I am going to forward the photo to
the store and see if they have some.

Hey AJ,
The bike is stunning. Could you list what you've got there in the
build and also where you purchased those items.
That would be good for reference. Also, how do you use the bike?
Thanks,
Don

Hey Folks -
This is semi-RBW related in that there are a lot of us riding Rivendell 650b
rigs.
Kirk Pacenti has the plans laid for a cushy-n-fast performance tire that is
38mm, and the only way to make it happen is to pre-order the first batch.
While pricey, I figure if the Pari-Moto is as good a

I don't have any 650b bikes (yet) but I'm curious - are there any fast

That bullmoose handlebar looks good. Is that a Bombadil bar? You
should post pictures of that bike on the Flickr Quickbeam group.

Sch Mara Supreme 35s. Coly How! or the 40s. The 41s can measure anywhere btw
36 and 40, dpndn on the rim. On Keven's Open Pros: 36. On Synergy rims.
about 40. Wider rims make wider tires. More so than I used to believe even
200 days ago.

I see that Schwalbe has the Marathon Racer in 700x38. Lighter by a
slim margin than the Supreme 700x35. (430g compared to 440g). Sounds
like a fun tire. I'm pretty happy with the Supremes at the moment, but
haven't found them to be "bulletproof", exactly.

We are supposed to believe a bicycle tire can be puncture proof?
Solid rubber maybe . . . but so much for your ride :)

Gotta agree here. Switching from the Pasela 35 to the Supreme 40 on
the Hillborne was a big difference. At first I though the tires were
a touch slower. But my overall riding times since putting them on
have been the same. Or (dare I say it), even a touch faster.
As for flat resistance, my wo
Also agreed. They look like the oldest Ritchey bikes. Especially in
that red. (The green actually reminds me of the early Fishers). And
these bars are probably better than just about all the factory stuff
from the early 1980's. (Unless the company actually had Nitto do the
bars.) Most I saw

Hey Shaun and Don,
Since moving to Rochester I've had the bike down country singletrack a
few times. The bike, laced with Pacenti QuasiMoto's, rides
beautifully. I may take it out on more 'aggressive' terrain this
weekend; I have a sneaky suspicion the Bombadil will be up to the
task.
