Hi Everyone, I have added new items to my for sale listings. Also included are pics of the Rawland tthat I have listed for sale. I would like to sell the bike as a whole, but I realize that the people who might be interested would also like to build up the bike as they see fit. For this reason

Personally, I put two tail lights on my bike-one per side. I like to keep the one on the right seatstay steady and the one on the left seatstay flashing. This way drivers think I'm moving to my left and braking. __

Hey Esteban, The sweetest part is your comment on his blog, which apparently alarmed him a bit since he sort of apologetically responded to your post. I kind of like the names since that's what I do when I don't know the other riders around me. I once spent a whole ride giving knicknames to ev

Actually, I wouldn't choose any of them. One need not ride Brooks saddles or some other slab of leather hammocked over a metal frame to be Rivendellian. Some of us prefer other choices. No saddle that is uncomfortable will ever grace my seatpost for long, and Brooks saddles have been known to g
