Very cool set-up. I look forward to hearing how it does over the
winter.

I doubt they will have a sale, but remember that the web prices
included VAT at about 18% which is deducted for foreign buyers.
Shipping is quite cheap from the UK. You can email them for a current
price shipped to your location.

What beautiful photographs. Thank you very much! If I get out
tomorrow around our river I'll post some photos too.

The answer to why is toeclip overlap. My 54cm Rambouillet has a
terrible problem with this and it really is a problem when I'm trying
to negotiate traffic with a heavy load of groceries

Why not just use some saddle conditioner that makes it darker. Over
time you will never even notice it.

I recall Grant's early post on the then up-coming Roadeo saying 6-4-6
for the main triangle, and I assume he was talking about a size that
fit him - maybe a 58cm? That would certainly make for a "lively"
ride!
I have a 54cm Rambouillet, and I too think it is overbuilt for
spirited riding. In fac
When there are so many really beautiful non-anodized silver cranks out

miles of pedaling the anodizing will have worn off where the shoe

polishing. VO already carri
I bought a Trangia from Riv ages ago. It's the most easy to

I used my Rambouillet last year for a small tour and found the brakes
to be insufficient - too flexy. If I use it again I'm going to switch
to Paul Centerpulls. Everything else worked fine as the Ram is not
too lightweight and, in my opinion, able to carry a moderate load.

I went to an Adventure Cycling meeting at REI here in Eugene last
night where they highlighted the new trail and talked about how it has
been made using GPS and all the other changes to the map. They hired
the fellow who researched and wrote a book about the same route back
in the 90's. Very exci
Could you tell us what front and rear cable hangers you used - brand
and model. You'd think they were easy to find but here... I have a

I have been using a 7 spd Phil hub with an IRD freewheel for some
time, and like the other poster, enjoy the good shifting and silence.
The trick to getting a freewheel on and off is to first lubricate its

Any chance you could give us a width measurement?

www.spacycles.co.uk has 1 inch silver threaded A9 Stronglight headsets
available for a very reasonable price. Order one with a message asking
for the exact price in dollars before sending it to you as it varies a

I agree with the tan aesthetics. Planning on using the NS Big Box on
a front loader. I've had a Carradice Camper longflap for some time on
