Re: [RBW] Do you ride with fenders?

Andy said "all my bikes, year round" JD said " +1, me too" Is that true, Jock? You don't own any bikes without year-round fenders? I pretty much associate you with an often-posted photo of a Lilac Paramount that doesn't have any fender attachment points. Is that an old photo, and you have su

Leo and weighed the frame and the fork bare, you would find that it's a pound or two heavier than a "light" steel frame and fork. So I think a fun target for a Leo Roadini is 10kg, which is far more reachable than 20 pounds. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Sunday, August 25, 2
