Hey thanks Bill, I’m in Portland and could definitely go browse used part
bins or see what shops have as take-offs. At this moment buying on the list
or online would also work well for me.

Lately I'm partial to brown or gumwall tires, but all-black tires look
great on the sage Sams, like Joe mentioned. The cream fenders are a great
touch.

Dan, thanks for the generous offer on the VO clips, but I think if I want
to try these then I'll just pick some up today at my LBS so that I can use

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up buying some of the MKS Cage Half

more miles in the city today.
On the 75mi ride (actually split up into 2 days) I wore samba-like

my keys or light. So dark in there!

Wouldn't the JoeApp accept canti brakes? Then you could use road levers
with interrupters.
I really like having the cross levers on my drop bars it's reassuring to
know that you can brake in a pinch. But I find that I rarely use the rear
brake, so it seems like if the Pauls are too spendy then

Thanks for all the replies. I tried out some noodles at the LBS and
realized that they sweep backward slightly, which is probably what I liked
about the rando bars. Another list member is selling me a used noodle and
ill give it a whirl.

If you are using mountain brake levers (only choice, right?) then put those
on first. They will dictate how far the shift cable can run under the grip
(i.e. the shift cable must exit the grip soon enough to avoid the brake
lever & clamp).

I own the VO frame you mentioned, but only have been riding it a month or
so. It's a good bike, maybe even a great bike, but it's no Riv.
Before I knew about the Clem, I convinced myself I couldn't afford a Riv,

Anyone know the range of PBH that would be comfy for a rider on this frame?

Strange, I never noticed that the T700 has no eyelets on the later models.
Looks like even the RB-T is lacking them! I'm guessing that 'touring'

without adding these features.
