Hello All, So I have a recently acquired Cheviot 60 cm and I'm finding it hard to "bond". It's a big bike and a little bulky to move around and maybe a bit big for me. The mixte frame, while novel, is not for me. Would like to get back to drop bars, maybe. Maybe someone has a diamond frame Riv

Joe, yes it was so fun to be around like-minded folks. Now that my kids are teenagers it is getting easier for me to branch out and do fun things like this. I hope that one day I can make a weekend out of it. Maybe do a bigger ride and stay in a hotel a night or two. Not camping, mind you. Never

I love all of this, and must admit being confused by Ben's custom being called a single-speed. -W On Sunday, July 17, 2022 at 7:01:30 AM UTC-7 Max S wrote: > [image: Leah saddlesack.jpeg][image: Platypus downtube.jpeg] > > On Sunday, July 17, 2022 at 10:00:57 AM UTC-4 Max S wrote: > >> [image: Ra

Wesley, I’m laughing out loud. I never looked at the drivetrain until I read your comment! At the start of the ride Ben was talking about his single speed. He rides single speed. Loves singlespeed. So, Ben has a singlespeed. I’m taking his word for it. I don’t look at drivetrains. But having bee

Glad Wesley beat me to it...I noticed that beautiful custom WAS multi-geared. But I'm with Ben...I love my 50-year old somewhat Rivved out Peugeot PX-10 set up as a (low-geared) single speed. Gets more miles than my 3 Rivendells , if I'm honest A handsome pride of Rivendells for sure, nonethele

I cannot argue but I will say that at 67 I thoroughly enjoyed my recent bikecamping tour of the Great Allegheny Passage from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, Maryland. 4 nights camping & it was really nice. We were blessed with the showers & the beer, so it was perhaps more “glamping” than camping. I h

A while back I posted a WTB for a 58cm Quickbeam. I finally found a frameset/wheelset on a trade. It had all been ridden pretty hard as a commuter, and that pre-installed beausage kind of liberated me from some of the usual perfectionist tendencies that I have with my builds. A thread over
