one of the fastest riders out there was on a pretty orange Ram.

Campagnolo is coming out with bar-end shifters for 2012 that are designed for
time trialing but which could easily be used on standard bars:
http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-time-trial-gruppos-coming.html
This opens up Campagnolo to Riv-minded riders who don't want to use brifters.
I had one of those fail, but not as quickly as yours. VO promptly sent me a
replacement, and I haven't had any trouble since then (about a year ago).
During that time, on another bike, a genuine Nitto cage broke. I checked with
Rivendell, and the said it was out of warranty.
Bike stuff breaks.
Actually, mine shifts very nicely, probably because its design mimicked
Japanese derailleurs of the time. This particular Rally is on my PBP bike.

I know that many readers on this list aren't interested in ultradistance
events, but for those who are, here are some thoughts on the status of the
sport:

I've seen this before. Certainly a fascinating film, and a great companion
piece to this:

Interesting to see the almost total lack of protective gear for the workers.
Wonder what kind of health issues resulted from working at the frame dipping
stations?

Thought I would extend an invite to this list to participate in the annual PTSD

leave Davis, CA, at about 7 a.m. and follow a tried-and-true 200-kilometer
route to the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Along the way, we'

, thankfully, kept them warm. Up top, my
Showers Pass Elite kept me dry-er, but the wool layer underneath again kept me
reasonably warm even after it got damp. Other than solid plastic sheeting,
nothing keeps all the rain out ... and solid plastic creates its own rainstorm
inside.

Whether your crankset requires a symmetrical or asymmetrical bottom bracket
depends entirely on how it was designed. Classic Campagnolo Record cranksets,
for instance, use an asymmetrical bottom bracket, even though the inner face of
the crank spider is pretty flat.
Just one more example of ho

Same comments as Tim. The front fender (Longboard) on my Blériot also pointed
up, so I bent the bracket at the fork to make it point a little more downward.
I haven't had problems with the rear fender curling out of line, but the front
of the front fender insists on pointing a tiny bit off cente
Here are photos of Monsieur Blérioit's front fender before and after bending

Took about 2 minutes to make the adjustment, and the fender line looks much
better.

I would not recommend the Silver Hupe to my worst enemy. It will destroy the
paint on your seatstays.
That said, if you care nothing about the paint on your bicycle, use and enjoy
the Silver Hupe.

I switched to Crank Bros eggbeaters (various flavors) on most of my bikes
several years ago. Super easy in and out, lots of float, and unaffected by dirt

mistakes. I do like the way it looks.

My concern with a dyno hub system off-road would be that at very low speeds
(stopping to jump over a log, climbing a steep stretch of trail, etc.), the
light will either go out or become very dim. At low speeds/stops, modern LED
lights have a "standlight" that stays on, but it's much dimmer than
