Jeff, I do hope you flip that over to 80/20 or better. This would be a great one to get to know you and it'll be mellow as you'd like and the bonus of Ojai isn't too bad either. Are you just regrouping in the old family haunts before moving to the West side of Los Angeles? ~Hugh "Life is like r

Why exaggeration? I mean it as a gentleman's ride which could be like the ride" Team Dream" did on SCDR ;-) Really, how about "leisurely" or we'll coin it the P&C ramble "pedal and chat" ramble...I like the sound of that even better. ~Hugh "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, yo

Bill, let's be ultra clear here...Joe's post took exception to "WTB" posts. That's what started this storm of absurdity. IMO there is nothing wrong with Brian's post. He like others and I look to save a bit before first buying from Riv. I'am glad others feel so freely about their money and don't a

Bill, I have to admit that 99% of the time I post I do have a smile on my face and I love this group so when I perceive an elitist vibe creep into the works it really cuts. I feel that the notion "if it ain't broke don't fix it" is applicable here so many times we fiddle with something great and

Thanks Chris & Mike. I saw the short stays but wanted to see how they attached. Too bad there isn't an attachment @ the crown. Chris I have mid fork braze on's just wanted to see an example before pulling the trigger. Mike, you still have the Butler? And if not which bike has the Campee rack now?
