Signing up for a charity ride might be a way to meet some like minded
riders. Something like an MS150 ride attracts all sorts of riders (or at
least used to). Hmmm, maybe not an option in these COVID times, are
charity rides even going on these days?

re about themselves than the
bicycles. Since that's all you really have to go on, I think the best
thing is to figure out which "reviewer" has tastes and temperaments most
like you, and then bet on the likelihood that you'll like what they like.

I ran this setup for a while on my Black Mountain Road, and it worked
fine. I ran a normal handlebar bag with a decaleur.

I want a silver 58cm Quickbeam. There's a green 60cm locally, but I don't
like British Racing Green on bikes. I might end up with it anyway, but I'm
not going to cry if somebody else buys it. If that 60cm green was a 58cm
silver, I'd already have it...

to have the drops "flatter" than the top tube.
All bikes with the drops flatter than the top tube slope are objectively
"goofy looking"
Patch is correctly observing the real rules. The correct observance

Speaking for all humans who have had to search and search for saddles that
work for them: Once you've found a saddle that works, stop caring what it
looks like. If you are sitting on it, you aren't looking at it! :)

le is an Aubisque, maybe you could sell it
separately. Most buyers of used bikes expect to BYO pedals and saddle.

would be to take the racks off and sell them. That rear rack (the 33R) is
sold out at Riv. Somebody has got to want that.

Maybe my assessment of the market on Frank Jones Senor is pretty accurate.
That very slick build, offered for $2800, is now being offered for $2200.
That's a lot closer to something I might be able to roll with.....
