Re: "old time bikes" - I was recently struck by how recently bicycles of
any kind first existed, when I learned that Jonathan the tortoise lives on
Saint Helena in the South Atlantic and was at least 40 years old when the
penny-farthing bicycle was
invented!

Hi Roberta ! Most of the slick tires I've had will start to show some
white threads when the rubber is gone. Some it comes quicker than others,
and some only in spots while other may be long streaks. It may look like
skid marks. Another way on some tires is a flat groove is worn in the
center
Yes Craig and Rich ! "Old time bikes!" laughing heartily ! I
use the term "time" rather loosely here as I figure a working bike and
parts at-hand and all are timeless. Their backstory, as interesting as it
may or may not be, has no bearing on the present use and working of it, you
Heyo,
I think this has been brought up in the past, but Crust recently designed
some new 650b wheels/rims that are a good alternative to the Pacenti
Brevets and Velocity Quills that serve as excellent rims for lighter
Rivendell builds.
Anywho, they are now available to purchase as separate
Leah and I both have Gravel King Slicks on a bike and question came up: If
the tires are naturally slick, how can you tell that the life is wearing
away, hopefully before they ooze out sealant or go flat on a ride?
Just in case it matters, my GK Slicks are run tubeless and hers are tubed,
but
Closing out this request. Riv restocked these and added a 42/28/guard combo
that works perfectly for my intended purpose, so I just put in an order and
I'm all set.
Thanks,
David

I judge stuff like derailleurs/derailers based on how well they work.
If something works really well, it's appearance actually grows on me.
Pretty dramatically.
I really hate stuff that looks pretty but does not work - or is difficult
to setup or maintain, fails frequently, etc.
Thanks,
Yes, the seat post. Still, I wonder: how did they do it?

Hello Garth:
Thanks for posting pictures of your Franklin. It really hits me! Fun and
practical bundled together. Doesn't conform to a particular breed or look.
Freewheel, reverse brake levers and simple lugs:-) The bike's simplicity
and the mix of parts give it so much personality.
Craig,
