In general, I'm a butterscotch fan. My AHH is in a color called "school bus yellow", so isn't butterscotch or your color exactly. Since it is a little lighter, maybe it will help you visualize the built-up version of yours, a little. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/oI0nRTVE7AjQrcW_ePTadw?f

It is encouraging to hear of another example of "cultivating a small group of individuals who enjoy a tour rather than a race and have embraced the thought of a rolling bicycle adventure/picnic". I am beginning to see references this type of thing more and more in these discussion groups and on b

[RBW] Wide-brimmed Headwear

2009-05-30 Thread cj.spinner
Let's say maybe I want to noodle around out in the summer sun without a helmet (on deep soft grass and no cars, of course). Wanting more sun protection, I'm thinking something with a wide brim is needed. I sometimes wear a ball cap, but would like more protection for ears and neck. Something re

Will, We have a few things in common. I followed up my Kogswell P/R with the purchase of a AHH. Although there are significant differences, I am enjoying both bikes. I keep threatening to do a "shoot-out" comparison on my blog, but it hasn't happened yet. Oh yeah, I'm married, have two daught

I'm currently running a 1x 8 and it works very well in small rolling- hill terrain. My reason for this approach is that I really like to frequently switch between gears and fixed. I have another wheel with a fixed cog and the switch involves only a few minutes to remove rear derailleur, shifter
