[RBW] Re: do these bars look too high?

Around here, I don't think you can get the bars too high. But if I were going to ride drop bars they would be about where you have them. But as everyone else has said, if it works for you then it's perfect. On Wednesday, December 16, 2015 at 2:30:32 PM UTC-5, Pete Porvaz wrote: > > https://c2.

That's a beautiful bike in a great setting. I'm glad to hear that your Clem handles well in the ice and snow, since I will soon be out in it myself. https://www.flickr.com/photos/zedmartinez/23697977403/in/album-72157661103966564/ >>> >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed

I was hoping "The Lug n' Tug" might win out, but how can I pass up "Ol' Man Petersen"? I've got $5.00 for this but I only want 2. Thanks! On Wednesday, January 13, 2016 at 9:31:31 PM UTC-5, WETH wrote: > > $10 for 5 please. > Thanks, > Erl -- You received this message because you are subscri

[RBW] Re: Balance Bike Delight

We started our girls on a balance bike as well. I took a small child's bike, removed the "training wheels," pedals, and the crank and chain. They loved it. They would wiz about the yard. One possible drawback was that after removing the crank, the bike had no brakes, since it was only equip

Thank you, Grant, for taking a stand on the side of humanity. Every time you do make your views known, I am that much more proud of you and Rivendell. It does take courage, and you set a grand example. I am also gratified by the response of the listers here. If the separation of children fr

Welp, I just bought a couple. They said that all they needed was for a third of 15,000 people to buy one $10 credit. They are off to a good start here, so I am completely optimistic that Riv can ride out the storm. This kind of thing builds character, don't you know. . -- You received this
