They're very nice and well designed. I have a ReLoad bag I got a few
years ago which is also nice although I think I like the Baileys more
but then again I don't use messenger bags anymore.

Yesterday I did my first 400k. Jeez, was that tough. The last 25 miles
were totally psychedelic. My Hilsen performed well, no mechanicals.
The Jack Browns also continue to perform well (no flats). There was
also a Rivendell custom, an Atlantis and a Saluki on the ride. Anyway,
here's a photo set i

and fun to ride with.

I don't think it's that off topic. If I were to ever get one of his

inexpensive touring frames he's getting made are made at the same

Yet another vote for Paselas. I've used 35s and 32s off road without
problems. I've used Jack Brown Blues also. Ruffy Tuffys were a little

try some Marathons, maybe before the summer

My wife read this book a few weeks ago and pushed it on me. I'm only
about 75 pages into it but kinda know where it's going after hearing
my wife talk about it. I think Rivendell free pedalers will appreciate
it. Check it out!

It's a very fun read.
I was thinking about this just the other day. Good to know they work
well together. How about some pictures?

I have my Rambouillet. I hope they do a run of them
again some day.

All my bikes are 700c but I ride bigger bikes--62cm Rambouillet and
63cm Hilsen. I wouldn't hesitate to ride a 650b bike if I used a
smaller frame size. A coworker recently did a conversion to 650b and
loves it. It seems to work well for him. I hope it doesn't fade away.

I wonder if that bike belongs to anyone on this list. The picture
appears to have been taken in Dolores Park in SF.

I keep hoping Grant will put up a gallery page on the Rivendell
website. All the S24O photos are great.

I noticed that the other day. The 64cm Bombadil with dual front racks
looks interesting and ready to conquer the Great Divide route.

This isn't me or anything, I came across it. Really really cool and I
think folks here will appreciate it. The bike is a Salsa Fargo which I
would say is similar in spirit to a Bombadil just a little more
contemporary.

it's apparently lighter material it seems more than adequate.
The color is great. I like the way this one closes as opposed to the
zipper. I may have order a second one. It's that perfect!

I hadn't noticed that it doesn't have DT shifter mounts. That's a
bummer. I hope they change their mind about that.
