hey, imron paint is generally durable. with powder coating in my
experience, corrosion can and does happen under an otherwise normal
looking finish. with wet paint this doesn't happen, im not sure why
this is.
i also lock my bike outside, but i wouldn't really consider powder
coat, the finish its
fwiw, if you do decide powder coating is the way to go, there is a
really great coater across the street from my house of the morgan L
stop. Avant Guards. They are pricey but for all my jobs where the
coating needs to be nice, i use them. Patson (sp?) on meadow street
is super cheap but pretty d
Here in Minnesota, we consider powder coat the best protection against extreme
cold weather and is more durable. Many folks here will agree with me. I had
my bike powder coated few years ago and I do not see any rust developed. I do

I rode a hard 75 course yesterday in Keen sandals and MKS Sylvan (un
attached) pedals) After getting up a long 16% climb 2d in our group, another
rider asked me how I could do it without being clipped in. It's easy. I
still pedal in a circle and use mainly the muscles on the back of my legs to

For powdercoating, look into Powdercoat studio, linked from the
fixedgeargallery website. It's run by a guy I know from other forums,
it looks like they do great work and it's very reasonable. It's in
Michigan, so you'd have to ship your frame, but given their prices, I
think it would be worth it.
powder coating is a very durable finish. i completely agree with that
statement. i have had many bikes powder coated, and as a wood and
metal fabricator, i have had many parts powder coated. A couple of
years ago i did a project, where the client requested a clear
powdercoat on some steel shelvi
I'm with there all the way and have had similar experiences after
going un-attached. Once your contact points are dialed in for maximum
comfort then its just a matter of ones physical limitations. I found
that I could ride for longer periods without discomfort after
switching my pedal/shoe combo co
Jamison:
Wow, that's quite a thorough experiment. I also recall that the clear-
coated Riv Bombadils were having issues with rust appearing under the
clearcoat, which I believe was a wet clearcoat. Puzzling indeed
As for the Color Factory's process, Bruce tells me he bead-blasts the

Interesting discussion. I ride fixed a lot so don't want to give up
retention entirely, but both my derailleur bikes have M324s with flats
on one side for the opportunity to ride unrestrained. I know that even
a few agressive riders I've talked with (eg, one man who leaves
suspended, multi-geared p
I think its really about the engine..some folks are just naturally
physically superior. Back to pedals and hot spots and all that.I
definitely noticed an improvement when I tossed my SPD's and started
riding a wide platform pedal with pins for traction. My foot pains
went away. I really bel
Charlie's message resonates with me... "our bodies tell us when
something isn't good for us" I don't doubt that some riders get into
foot pain with ill fitting, or over tightened shoes, but I don't think
that's my problem. I have a number of riding shoes but mostly use
Keen Commuters and it's har
I bought both of these for a project that is on hold for a long while and
can use the money more than these beautiful parts sitting on my shelf :)
The hub is polished silver, 32 holes, with skewer, manual and connectors.
Perfect condition, took it out of the box to admire then put back gently.
Let me know if you'd be at all interested in trading either or both for a
new Son hub and/or Edelux light.
I just listed them in their own FS post.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I've been reading with interest all the posts about pedals these last couple of
days. I've been riding since toe clips were considered dangerous by folks that
didn't use them. I'm talking late 60's. Went through all the new stuff as new
stuff appeared. Grew older and developed foot pain. So
Yesterday I set out on my Roadeo for a planned century ride up into the
mountains north of Ventura. The ride was cut short due to a mechanical with
the freewheel. Of course I was about 40 miles away from and 4000 feet above

There is someone who has done the Markleeville Death Ride (150 miles,
15,000 feet of climbing in the high Sierra Nevada south of Lake Tahoe)
on a kick scooter.
At least you weren't 4000 feet below home!

I do understand how lucky I was for the dif. in elevation, if it had
been the other way around I probably would have been hitch hiking my
way out.
I am also sure a true kick bike would have been much more comfortable

Glad you made it back home.

Rob, this was a day to remember! Curious about the freewheel, too. Man,
lucky it was downhill to the ocean!
