Yeah, but I remember a lot of Richard's posts in the past, and I actually had
been wondering where he was lately, and I did find it interesting to hear an
update from him.

First, sorry to hear about your loss of equipment. It's a unique bike

That said, I have known a person who actually tackled someone he

Should be function over form, but I think frames approaching 60cm look
best with 700c wheels, and I like the larger wheel anyway. My wife's
little Surly looks great with 650Bs.

Between the wife, the kids and my bikes we have 5 different wheel diameters

I'm not sure any one bag was called Baggins, but this one looks very
similar to my Baggins Hoss. It's a bigg'n, alright.

A miscommunication with Toyo lead to cantis in the batch, and Rivendell decided
to go with it.

In my experience, 10 sp chains work with anything from 5 up; 9s work with
anything from 9 down; and all the rest all work fine together excluding 1/8"

Here is the dilemma: I want to build a new front wheel with a dynohub; the

If you don't happen to have a can of naptha around, remember that it's
