[RBW] Re: Spanninga on hammered fender? Does it sit right?

[RBW] Rondo bags on a Hilsen

I have a 63cm Homer Hilsen and considering purchasing a Acorn Tall Rondo bag to place on a Nitto M18 front rack. I am a bit concerned about how this may affect the handling characteristics. I'm sure if I loaded it with bricks I would have some issues, but what about, say 7 lbs of food and cloth

[RBW] Intelligent design dynamo hubs

[RBW] found a Ram on CL

I found a 61cm Ram on CL. I have a 63 AHH. Is the ride really going to feel different? Interested in doing Brevets. The 63 is in the upper limits of fit for me. Is it worth the trade off of narrower tires for a bit more snappiness? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
