down in the morning, and climb it up at night. I've got Jack Browns.
I added a Wald Medium basket on a Mark's Rack, as well as a V-Brand Kevin's

staff bikes, I couldn't resist. Also fitted my tool kit in a Kevin's bag.

There's more space there because... I ran out of tape! :) I don't tend to
hold the bars right by the stem, and it was my first wrap in 20 years, so I
left it. It actually works out great, and leaves space for lights and other
novelties.

It's an 11-32 SRAM PG-950. It works, but I don't recommend it as i get a
bit of noise when in that gear. I would stick with 28 tops and will
probably replace this wheel/cassette at some point.

could get on the replaceable lens format while still keeping the body very
small. There was a killer deal on it a few weeks back, so I took the

I had my "aught-nine" copper AHH on the 9:35 ferry today. Great day - got
some snow between the sun breaks, and saw a nice black Roadeo zoom by on
it's maiden voyage according to the owner who just finished the build last
night. No other Rivs spotted, but a good ride. I'll post some pics when I
I've now done a couple of SIR populaires (November and January) and plan to
up that a bit with at least a 200k this year. I may try to get down to the
brewpub populair in OR, so I may see you there on my Hilsen, Smitty.
Here's my experience so far.

least in the Pac NW. Keep your ears open...

Quality control, and abuse (even unintentional) are always part of the
equation...

is interested in doing a trade and trying the Randos? These were mounted
and used for a month or last summer. They have a few scuffs, but are low
miles. Will take photos if there is interest.

I haven't done the STP. Too many people for me at this point. The Chilly
Hilly was bad enough. I like riding in small groups or alone - more
relaxing most of the time. I will probably try a 300k this year, but it
depends on schedule more than anything at this point. I agree on the pub
crawl.
Sean - I'm the same size and age as you and have a 59cm A Homer Hilsen. I
have ridden a 60cm Sam at Riv HQ, and it felt big, but it was set up with
very high bars. I would go for a 56cm if you're doing a light go-fast
config.
I think a Sam could be set up as a "go-fast", but it will depend on yo
What size are you in? If it's 59cm or over, I recall Grant saying that the
Roadeo has the same tubing as the Hilsen, so the weights should be
realy close. At that point, with the AHH you just need to work out the
max tire size you will "ever need". That's the difference I see. That and

I think the best city bike is the one that gets the most "city people" out

a while, so have tools, tolerance for risk = homemade Imperial in green and
