I sent a message to the seller 2 days ago asking for a bit more detail (age
of frame, wheelset info), but received no response. The frame itself looks
like it's seen little use unless it was recently repainted. I was
surprised at the lack of info in the posting as well.

Ha! If the swap happens as planned, I can have the new bike up and running
in a day or two. This bike is pretty perfect but I don't really carry
anything anymore. I would like to try the Roadeo and see if the lighter

The original Alpina looks just like my Sugino Mighty Tour (new version)
crankset but I think it's even more expensive then the Alpina2.

Interestingly, the original crank is also thicker near the crank arm than
it is on the other "spider arms". Makes me think it's not a defect of the
newer crank

David,
I put albastache on my Sam to replace the albatross bars it came with. I
figured I was done with drops and the albatross was too upright for when I felt
the desire to go fast (ish). I had drops on my previous Bianchi and found I so
rarely rode down in the drops. The albastache was all

2. IRD thumb shifters mounts with shims. $50 shipped
3. Ultegra 6700 rear derailleur, short cage. The top pulley seems like it
doesn't spin as smoothly as it should so it might need to be replaced. $30
4. Microshift BS-A09 bar end shifters. I mounted
I'm starting to think that the Redwood might be a good fit. The Monster
Cross I use the drops quite a bit.
The Redwood is converted to 650b with WTB Horizon tires. I use the drop
portion much less on the Redwood. So maybe that might be the right bike to
try it out on. Then I might need a Roadin
Apologies as I don't want to steer this from the intended topic of the

MAP/Ahearne and they looked great for modified bar/go fast type. Care to
comment on that?
thanks and back to Albastache

I am on the side of thumbs up for SA. I'm a mostly commuter, sometimes
rando/bikepacker. I've tried B17 (good shape, pretty), Rivet Pearl (good
shape, too stiff), and Selle Anatomica X (old writeup here:
https://stonehog.com/2012/08/02/leathersaddles/), and replaced all my
saddles with the Sel
If the B-17 is the wrong shape for drop-bar riding, what about the Team
Pro? I've had several of those over the years on road bikes and the only
thing I didn't like about it was the lack of bag loops (which can be
rectified by an add-on device).

On the topic of Albastaches, have any set them up with interruptors, either
in addition or solely? I'm looking for alternative placements from what the
Tiagra levers provide.

to get an idea of a fair price, and I find this listing:

I found my LLBean boots very comfortable. However, the traction on ice was
not great with the "chain" sole. Their storm chaser boots look like a
better option and I would think the stiffer sole would be better to ride
in. Jim D.Massachusetts

I'm going to our local LL bean tomorrow to look at the bean boots.Mainly to
check sizing with my thick wool socks.
They are out of the medium and narrow in my size but they have the ones
without the Thinsulate to try and also they have the shearling inserts. The
ll Bean 8" boot is back ordered u
The storm chaser boot only comes in "D"width ,too wide for me. Plus the outside
width looks as wide as my sorrels.

This will allow comparison of different frames and give a pretty good idea
of how the steering will be. Out of curiosity, I compared a 55 Sam to a 55
Chevoit using the Riv geometry chart. So close that the difference is
negligible.

The concepts on winter boots I've learned:
wet and sloppy (wet and 45˚ down to 20˚F): keep outside moisture out, even
if it means rubber bottoms/oiled leather. Swap liners and socks to allow
for drying. Feet often get wet from not being able to breathe. The trick is
to anticipate this and swap

Alright. I went with some lightly used sorels off eBay with a more treaded sole
and removable liners. Been seeing mostly rain, mud and ice so far, so I hope I
didn't over do it in the warmth department. I hadn't considered the dryablitly
of the liners, but its all making sense now. Much apprecia

Good deal, Drew. The more you use them the more you'll learn. Short the
below 0˚F zone, the most dangerous temp zone is wet and sloppy (45˚F-20˚F,
depending on conditions). Pick up some extra socks and liners, and you'll
have room to screw up, learn, and change into something dry. Grin.

Just pull the liners out at the end of the day. Same goes for any boot,

I've got the MAP/Ahearne bars on my Kogswell P/R and like them very much,
though I have to use a long stem to get them far enough away for the
(fairly aggressive, forward-weighted) posture I want on the bike. I find
them extremely comfortable with Ergon GC1 grips and huge 4-finger brake
levers.
I did say 'surprisingly'.
