Re: [RBW] Riv Rider Recipes

I expect that the modern biomedical sciences simply don't have the right epistemological or conceptual apparatus (having in mind the scientific parable of the fishing net: "what my net doesn't catch isn't fish") to capture everything that constitutes true nutrition.

John, thanks for getting the pictures to go with your vacation story. It was very rewarding to have imagined your surroundings and rides from your words and then compare them with your subsequent images, like oysters and wine. Thanks for sharing your trip. Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh On Monday,

Re: [RBW] Re: Saddle Height

Aside from the subjectivity of saddle height I would attempt to try different sizes of bikes to see which feels better to you. I realize that's next to impossible with a Rivendell but if you have bikes that fit you well I think the knowledge can work laterally. I had a friend buy an Appaloosa f

I read Eat Bacon and lost a bit of weight. I'm already relatively in shape for my age but have continued to use keto-ish methods when I want to lose a bit. As a lifelong diet/lifestyle thing, I'm skeptical, & I flat out don't see it working for vegetarians in a good way. If you already like meat

[RBW] Me rummaging through YOUR parts box: single speed freewheels

You are sitting on one or more single speed freewheels. You'd rather have money than wait for a single speed project to develop. I may be willing to liberate what you've got. I'd consider any size White Industries ENO freewheel. My offer for a White Industries ENO is $50 plus shipping.

[RBW] Summer Riding in Alberta

Hi people, I have been on a small eric rohmer kick this year, and when I started watching the tales of the four seasons it occurred to me that it would be fun to document a week of riding in every season. I had the idea in the summer, so first up is my tale of the summer. Nothin' fancy, I just p

[RBW] Re: Me rummaging through YOUR parts box: single speed freewheels

I may be your man. I have an 18T White ENO in my parts box that has had minimal use and I'm unlikely to ever use again. I also have a BMX freewheel removal tool on which I had a machinist widen the center hole so it can fit over a PW hub's axle cap, if you're interested. George On Tuesday, A

Re: [RBW] Re: Saddle Height

This is all very helpful. 55cm seems more versatile. I'm unlikely to put drop bars on it, but, still. If I can find a used bargain I'll try a 60, else I'll go for the 55. Really appreciate the kind and quality of feedback here. On Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at 7:32:21 AM UTC-7 exliontamer wrote:
