The new site loads much faster than the old one ever did, almost
instantaneous on my macbook. I'm a happy camper.

Got out yesterday on the San Francisco Randonneurs Populaire, a ~71 mile
introduction to brevets which the club puts on a couple times a year. There
was a pretty decent crowd, with a good percentage of folks who had not ever
ridden a brevet before. After an intro and short talk by RBA Rob Hawks,
The Golden Age of Hand-built Bicycles, The Data Book, and The Bicycle Wheel
by Jobst Brandt. All in excellent like-new condition, the first two with
dust jackets.
All for $60 +$10 shipping. (I would rather not split them up please.) Send
me a note off-line.

Three of the so-far-eight gamblers have PBH of 95+, with a 99 already
in there. So...although ifwhen a production model happens, we'll limit
it to 3-4 sizes, on the gambler's run, it looks like they'll be made
to fit, anyway. But there is a detail that makes them fit a slighly
wider range fine. Sti

I have a Pyramid like Eric's on a bike, and I'm having trouble with it
skipping under load. I think it's a matter of fussing with it. Or
replacing the chain entirely...
I really like Eric's wingnut mod; I'm setting up a 36x14 / 32x18
dingle (waiting on a 4-bolt 32t ring).

I keep following up on Jim's posts (sorry, Jim!). The populaire was a
blast! A lot of Riv eye-candy, as well. It was good to see our Chief
List Dude, as well as other contributors, like Ron Lau and Joe Bunik.
Most of all, it was just plain fun, and my group even made it across
the finish line with
I've previously criticized the populaires for being too short, but I
now see I was completely wrong. Beautiful bikes. Looks like a great
time, and I bet it's a relief to spend an entire day without being
told that your bike is too heavy and you ought to buy disposable
wheels.

How fast do you need to ride to finish it on time? What happens if you
don't? I've never done one of these...

As a "gambler", I'm quite pleased GP is serious about this. I gambled
on my Riv custom about 9 years ago, and every ride is like putting on
my favorite pair of jeans.
A pair of dice headbadge is stuck in my feeble mind. I'll have to work on that.

I, thus far, have not heard from the good folks at the Riv. I am
curious as to what the project holds, though. Even though I disagree
wit a lot of stuff GP does, the fact is that every time we have spoken
by phone, he has been only kind and courteous to me. I continue to
spend money there, and h

Time limit on this ride was 7.5 hours for 115K. If my math is right, you
are looking at about ~9.5 mph. Bear in mind, t

Hi Rene. Jim sums it up nicely. I'll chip in by saying that speed on
the bike does not have to be great. But, speed while off the bike is
critical. The saying we came up with in our post-mortem over beers was
"every minute off the bike is a minute you may need to make up while
on the bike."
We did
Hi Anne. Yeah, it was fun to have all of these bikes on the roadway.
There's a bakery in Point Reyes Station (Bovine Bakery) that, if
you're not familiar with it, is quite the stop for weekend cyclists.
It was great to see so many racked and sacked bikes there, lined up
along with the Cervelos and
Just loving the ride of my Simple One! I took my daughter on a local

great bicycle.

Looks like fun. I'll need a lot of training to get into shape before I even
think about joining though. :(
Maybe one day I can see more fellow riv cult members in person...
