When it comes to carrying water, I can't recommend dromedary bags enough-
you can carry a gallon of water in the bottom of a Wald medium front basket
alone. You can sling dromedary bag over your rear rack, stuff it into a
pannier, or empty it out and roll it up to the size of a cigar.
I find the third cage very useful . I use it for tubes and repair kit and a
few tools, wrapped burrito style in the canvas Riv sells, and a very small

Excellent and brilliant. I think your paintings are well worth $60.
Make sure to scan them at hi-res for later - you could probably sell
postcard packs, or prints from them. My feeling is that prints sell

No problems with that.

Have been lucky enough to ride both in the east (Washington DC) and

On the Rivendell group ride in San Diego. Go figure. Same bike on

I just noticed that the Cypres (650B x 32) on my Sam H are wearing

When in doubt, consult the oracle:

Short answer: Yes, it is normal; No, don't put the worn tire on the front.

I'd go to 60 pounds pressure in the back, 40 in the front, and adjust
to taste. And also rotate the tires 'through' the bike like Steve

Wow, that's a completely different color! It's hard to believe that
your frame and the reference frame have the same color, given that we
can use the foliage on your pics as a standard reference color.
