Wonderful chronicle of the ride, Manny. It was 25 degrees here in Delaware -
not quite so much fun, by the looks of your pictures. As always, they're
descriptive and creative. Thanks.

I sure love mine.
You always have interesting unique things to say on the RBW board. Very
happy to learn you won the raffle and look forward to seeing pictures when
done.

Liesl, really happy for you that you won. Gotta be a dream come true for a
Riv lover. I'm glad someone from the list won rather than some anonymous
person so that we can see the final product.
And yes, as Manny points out, pictures prove that it exist. Looking forward
to the final product.

Pictures to follow, but one of the things I ordered to meet the $300
contest threshold was a set of Bullmoose Boscos, so they are going on the
Quickbeam tomorrow. I've had Albatross and now Gen1 Bullmoose up front, and
both are great bars, so this will give me a chance to compare and contrast

Sorry to steal your Cygolite thread. One thing to consider with many
of the bright lights nowadays is that the beams are symmetric, so they
act like a car's high beam and have the potential to blind pedestrians

Manny,

With the cargo it's mostly an aesthetic thing. Thinking itll look too big on
the back of a 650b bike. I actually like the logo with the lower rails for
panniers.

I was at Rivendell a few days ago, and the general feeling there seemed to

Ideas are churning, so these are now up for grabs. The Platrack and
Slickersack (Gen 1 Grid Grey) are unused, but have been mounted on an off
