Hi Matt - welcome to the NW! I would suggest perusing the Cyclofiend pages

puddles.

I don't buy the "too much" is bad - it's a matter of learning how much

Scott - great story behind the photos - I salute you, Bob, and your family
for making it happen! I think I'd put that frame on the wall somewhere.

I think it's perception. You don't get Big Apples for speed - I got them
for the cush ride. I have 26x2.1s on my mtb (beater bike), and they
transformed the bumpy, rutty commute to a smooth Cadillac glide that I
immediately loved. I have them at 30psi, so that helps.
Even so, I was coasting dow
I'm working on a new Hilsen and have a Dura Ace RD-7800 GS 9/10 speed
rear derailleur. Is anyone on the list using this with Silver downtube
shifters and a Phil Wood Rivy hub with a 7-speed freewheel? Am I stuck with
a 9-speed cassette configuration? I'm looking at my rear wheel options...

Great pics, Eric! I remember going to that park as a young-un. Always

Hilsen for just about the same amount of time - only have about 500 miles on
it, however. I feel like I'm still building it (probably always will) -
