Thank you Esteban! And thank you for organizing the ride. I'm really looking
forward to it and seeing people!
Also, the parking system for bikes at the show sounds like it will be the
swankiest bike consideration ever. I'm gonna head down the Gilman path from La
Jolla and then to Mission Bay

In low lighting it tends to look very dark, but there is always the hint of
green. In bright light, it really looks green. Photos tend to exagerate this
a bit, and now I see it green always. When the frame was very new and didn't
have a speck of dust, the effect was more noticeable. I guess
I'm too verbose and I type too much... :-D

There are a handful of guys in our rando circuit that run the same
triple crank as you, with campy or shimano brifters. Using the ramped
and pinned TA Specialties rings seem to make it work well, you may
only need to replace the large ring. Might be the cheapest and least
hassle to git-r-done.

Pretty and pure. Campy brake levers, DT shifters and a TA bottle
cage. Brakes appear to be Mafac cantis. Nice British green. I can

Ah, my education continues. Now that I have a definition, I can tell
you that serious "nerf" does not occur until the second or third week
of a bike tour. Elevated humidity brings out the nerf-ness of the

I'm only guessing at the front to back weight distribution.
My general practice has been to run the front at ~ 60 - 65 and the

Nothing personal at Joel, but this is just about the complete opposite of

The MTB crown really plays well with the Riv lugs. After visiting the
Paul Racer thread, once again I find myself thinking about a Riv with
Racer braze ons.

Not just braze ons. Duos need bolt threads on both sides of the
fork. I almost bought a set before I realized this. I have the Tara
but kind of wish I could have a Duo. Not enough to change bikes
though.
