definitely be in. My son lives in Alexandria, Va (I am in Pittsburgh) and
I've always wanted to do GAP to C&O to Aaron Charlton. Someone please
help arrange a ride next year. Maybe by then I can take Amtrack home.

You r
d I have been unable to find a rim at the
price point and quality of the CR18's. My only current options appear to be
the Velocity, VO and Grand Bois. The VO rims seem to be the closest to what I
am looking for. Have I missed any rims?
Thanks.

Get a bicycle. You will
though. There is always a point
where the bead is too low and won't come up making for a nice low spot in the
tire. Both documented problems that I found after I bought.

The twing hollow isn't bad looking. I am leaning towards the VO rims since
this is a touring a trail bike. I may then get the Twin Hollows to build up a
backup set of rims.

(with fenders) which are
my favorite size. If you want a go fast bike look at the Roadeo but if you are
commuting with bags then the Hilson is probably the better bike. The
Rambouillet kinda of splits the difference between the two.

y to reach food, a hat or arm warmers while
riding can't be beat and there is no better place for a map or queue sheet then
the top of the bag.

Nice reply, I was going to say that the Atlantis is such a pretty bike why make
it butt ugly with double top tubes. Just my opinion.

. My Atlantis
is not as light and lively as my Rambouilet but I would not take the Rampouilet
loaded touring.
