One thing that works to prevent neck stiffness for me is to completely relax my upper body - it takes lots of practice actually. My fit on my AHH (with 42 cm Noodles) is such that I have a natural bend in my arms and my scapulas aren't popping out of my back (not that I could see this anyway, but

Congrats on your new SH! To my knowledge the largest hammered Honjos are only 43 mm wide. I have a set on my AHH with 32 mm Marathons. They are just wide enough to be fully functional. My Jack Browns or 35 mm Marathons "fit" but aren't super functional in that the fender doesn't cover as well a

For sale is my Sam Hillborne 60 cm, double top-tubed, Waterford version. The frame is a beauty but unfortunately is just too big for me. I've tried everything to achieve the riding position, posture, etc I want and it just doesn't work. Less than 500 miles on it. Frame, fork, Cane Creek headset

There is a guy out in Plymouth that does powdercoating but I would not recommend him at all if you're concerned with a too thick of coat covering up the lugwork. I brought him my 1967 Gitane touring bike with lovely Nervex lugwork and stressed not to put it on too thick. It came out too thick. I

Hi Steve, Do you know if your Quickbeam has mid-fork eyelets for a rack? My understanding is that one version of the older ones didn't have them. Thanks in advance! Regards, Tom Arlington, MA On Aug 14, 8:36 pm, steve wrote: > This is the old-style Quickbeam, in excellent condition.  Compone
