I know there are quite a few TC members on this list, so pardon the
slightly off topic post. I'm considering having my '78 Centurion Pro
Tour repainted. My only local experience is with Bob Brown, who's not
doing just-paint work at the moment. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Andrew

I'm heading out on a ride in an hour. Perhaps I'll change the
pedals...

Hey Rick,
I have a question. When you travel (fly) to a location to do touring,
especially if it would be to the Alps or some other European location
how do you handle transporting your bike and/or other equipment? I am
a novice to touring and especially to this type of touring. Any info
you can g
So who is this gal and when is she going into business?

I believe Amber and Brad of Capricorn bikes are partners in the biz
and life. As I recall, Amber has made some Capricorn hats and stuff
in the past. Brad is a great young frame builder. Appears as though
the Capricorn household may have a great young young bike bag maker as
well.

One key aspect that has not been mentioned is the social aspect of the
ride.
Keep in mind that this is a non-competitive group ride with lots and
lots of friendly people. If you have any inkling to be social during
the ride, or participate in the small groups that naturally form, you

Rob, great links, thanks! I think I'll try these myself!
Joe, good to see you here! (First thought when I saw your reply:
"Hey Joe, where you goin' with that 'beam in your hand?" I have no
idea why.)
I'm planning on doing the annual Perimeter ride on Saturday, quite
possibly on my Quickbeam (

I'd have to defer to Tim and his sources, as I've yet to travel much
with my own bike, and never overseas (or yet to ride in the alps, for
that matter -- I just thought the photos were amazing). I agree that
the crazyguyonabike is a good source. There's some info also from
folks at these sites,
There's a pretty good Krebs map for the wine country area called
'North San Francisco Bay & Wine Country Bicycle Touring Map'. That
would give you a really great start. For other places and routes, I
would take a look at the Adventure cycling maps. The maps are pricey
but I think you can downlo

I am not new to biking but I am new to touring. I've got the bike/s

handle on touring within my state (Florida). But I need some help with
planning some tours in other parts of the USA and overseas. I have

This is an interesting thread. I just today took my Quickbeam in for a
re-gearing prior to a ride I am planning in mountainous country. I requested
that she be rigged up in a manner similar to the combination suggested by Dave
Craig.
Box Dog Bikes in San Francisco is going to do the job. I
My girlfriend and I had great success by doing a bit of looking at

in SF, went up to Vallejo from Napa to Sonoma through wine country,
then and over to Tamales via Petaluma, then back down the coast
again. Along the way, we us

I just did a ~1500 mile loop up the pacific coast and around the
olympic peninsula on a fully loaded AHH and I thought it did really
well. I too experienced a little bit of a wobble on a couple
occasions but I found that it was just indication that I had weight
improperly placed and distributed.
Taking your bike on the plane is doable, but check with the airline
you're travelling with and find out what their fees and requirements
are. There are one or two airlines that still carry bicycles for free,
but most are charging $100 or more, sometimes per leg of an itinerary.
If your itinerary i
Alexander, good to hear your Homer worked well on tour. What front
rack were you using? Did you have front panniers?
I've taken my Homer on plenty of dirt roads, up and down, but never

I'm using a custom porteur rack with low pannier mounts and some front
panniers that I made myself to fit the rack perfectly. I've done week
long trips on the AHH with only rear panniers in the past and I can
really see on this trip how much it helps to move more of the weight
