interesting comments about bicycle models, so I thought I'd copy my copy

Adam, Mark had been in touch with me about the build kit and I was
told frames were coming before Thanksgiving. That seems to have
worked out though I haven't heard a thing about my frame's arrival.
Maybe next week.

Four of us rode 135 miles from Davis to San Francisco via Napa, Sonoma,
Petaluma, Fairfax and Sausalito on the day after Thanksgiving. Despite
forecasts of 50-90% chance of showers, we never got rained on, and in fact
enjoyed fantastic Fall weather.

First off I gotta say I am a little jealous of your build. Very
classy with the Campy bits. I have had my eye on the Bleriot since
just before they stopped selling them. I ended up going with a less
lugged steel frame from Handsome cycles since I had a set of 700c
wheels to use and the fr

Sign me up for a Simpleone. I LOVE my Bombadil but I'm looking for
something really simple to have for the town. Like always I wait to

Obenauf's melted in with a hair dryer maybe? For dressing the stem ends,
try beeswax melted into hemp twine. Wax the twine first, wrap it on, then go
over it lightly with a propane torch. The fuzzys burn off.
Durable, good looking, doesn't waterlog, and good grip.

Hi all,
I've had a chance to ride 500 or 600 miles on a Berthoud saddle. To
say I'm quite pleased would be an understatement, so I wrote a little

Apologies to those of you who saw this elsewhere.

Anything about it you don't like in particular? Cork can take about any
finish you can put on wood, it just may soak up more of it (depending on
what the finish is). I suppose you could coat it in marine spar vanish for
the ultimate in all weather durability, but at $15 a set, it may not be
worth
I've used 3M's super 77 spray adhesive twice now, but that's mostly because
I had a can in the basement. Downside is overspray, but that tends to clean
up pretty easy with mineral spirits as long as you catch it early enough.

The look can be modified with wood stains before shellacking. The
initial feel can be a little tacky at first but soon smooths out as
you ride them. I wouldn't use wax, it can be slippery when really cold
