One of the guys at Salsa Cycles rode a first generation Fargo on the Great
Divide Trail. The bike was a 29er with a rigid fork and drop bars.

I have a Hilsen and an R14 rack. I use a NS Country bag. I use
velcro one wrap to bind the bag to the rack and it works fine. I also
use a Nitto saddlebag quick release thingy on my saddle, because I use
a Terry saddle. Hope this helps.

I have to confess that I can't warm up to the double top tube on the
Bombadil. I have a Hilsen and it's a lovely, comfortable bike, but I
want something that I can do some trail and mountain biking on. I
have been seriously considering the Fargo. It's not a surprise to me
that Rivish folks woul
Riv BMX pedals on my errand bike, Be Bops on everything else,
including my Hilsen. Tried AR 9's and toe clips for a while, didn't
like 'em.

I have been very happy with Rudy Project Exceptions. The newer model
is caled Perceptions. They are modular sunglasses. You can wear them
as non Rx sunglasses, or you can wear them with your Rx plugged into
the frame. The big advantage of these glasses is that your Rx lenses
fit right into the f
Salsa Woodchippers are available soon. They are off road drops that
are flared with shallow drops.

I just noticed a small, superficial crack in the surface of the
sidewall of my front Pasela. It has less than 1000 miles on it and
the tread looks great. Should I be concerned about this propagating
suddenly and causing a blowout?

I am having persistent trouble on my Hilsen with the FD. I keep
dropping the chain when I shift up to the big chainring. When I try
to adjust the limit screw, in quarter turn increments, I either can't
get into the big chain ring or wind up dropping it if I don't shift
very gingerly. I have th

I can understand why they are being discontinued- Toyo made frames are
pricing themselves out of existence. I am sure that Waterford could
make them, but likely they would be at least as expensive. I wonder

The early AHHs were made by Waterford, the later ones by Toyo. I

Point of information- After looking fruitlessly for local hobby shops
stocking Testor's paint, I scored a bottle of 1110 on eBay for $3.97-
$2 of which was for shipping.

I would have been happier one size down from what was recommended. Wound
up with a short stem not to be too stretched out. IMHO, the critical
dimension is top tube plus stem length. The vertical part is easy. YMMV.

I have an AHH that's running 36 spoked Velocity wheels and 35 mm Panaracer
Paselas. My original priorities were bombproof and plush riding. The ride
is undeniably cushy, but there are times when I wouldn't mind it if the bike
was a bit quicker- especially on hills. I have been contemplating ru
Thanks for all of the advice. It's definitely the engine, in part. My
other main ride is a Litespeed Classic, which is a very different riding
experience. I will try some new tires, at some point.

I have an 8 cm stem on my AHH (started with a 10 cm) and still feel a little
bit stretched out when I ride on the hoods. This leads me to believe that I
would be more comfy on a slightly smaller frame, but that's neither here nor
there. I have started to think about a 6 cm stem, but recall tha
Seth- The bars are at the same height as the seat. They're comfy in that
regard and I can ride in the drops, which I can't do for long on my regular
road bike. I was also thinking about getting shorter reach handlebars. I
am running Noodles. Mark's bars have a 1.5 cm shorter reach, which mi
It is the reach of the bars. I am using Campy Ergos and am comfortable on
the tops of my Noodles. I was originally thinking about bars with a shorter
reach, but as Bill mentioned, there aren't many short reach options in 26mm.
I have raised the bars and will see how things sort out on tomorro
Pat,
The Noodles have a 95 mm reach, so I need something shorter than that. The
only possible Nitto would be Mark's bars, which are 82. There seem to be
some Salsa, Ritchey and Bontrager bars that have a reach of 75 mm, but
they're all black. At least they're relatively inexpensive. Wonder
So I raised the bars a bit. It definitely helped to make me feel less
stretched out. I also noticed that my center of gravity was shifted back on
the bike and that I had less weight on the bars and more on the seat.
Didn't make a noticeable difference in speed- I'm still a slug. I'm going

Just went out to the garage with a plumb line. The seat seems to be right
on the money, in the same relative position as on my Litespeed. I am going
to wait a week or two before doing anything else. I keep waffling about
whether to change the bars or the stem. The tops of my Noodles are in th
Awesome looking ride. The idea of riding 300K in one day on my AHH is mind
blowing.

Rene,
Your point is well taken. I'm giving the bike one more weekend as is, then
will see. I am leaning towards a 6 cm stem. My 46 cm bars are wider than
they are on my other bike.

Zack,
Thanks for the link - got it and understand. At my new, higher handlebar
height, there is an improvement in reach, but it's accompanied by a change
in my center of gravity. I'm still adjusting to it, but am not sure if I
like the change in my fore-aft balance on the bike. If I don't, I
OK, did a 24 mile ride this morning and raising the bars seems to have done
the trick. I am reasonably comfortable on the hoods for long periods. When
on the hoods, the tops are just about lined up with the front hub, which is
another positioning indicator that seems to work for me. Now it's
