I have studded snow tires and used to use them to commute to work here in
New York City on my vintage 80s mountain bike. I LOVE THEM. It's so fun to
just go anywhere with confidence.
Check out a ride I went on here on my YouTube channel:

Hey,
I also have a few stalled project bikes. I have an Appaloosa too. Whenever
I feel like riding, I ride the Appaloosa. The other bikes don't really see
the same amount of miles. There's your problem right there.
However, just make yourself a list of the parts you need to finish, your
I have a pair of 26” studded schwalbes winter marathons I could sell you. I
moved to Manhattan since Covid hit and I just walk to work instead of
biking now, so I’m not rocking the studded tires this season. Studded tires
are awesome.
If not, I recommend some other type of Schwalbe tires.
I have one of these on my vintage mountain bike. Definitely BIN! You will
bike happy.

I like wearing a Giro ski helmet when I bike in winter. The newer ski
helmets all have ventilation that can open and close - same idea as pit
zips - and they're very comfy. I'm skeptical of any cycling-specific winter
gear. I like just buying ski gear instead.

I am a simple man with simple needs, and I would love to have green
anodized Paul brakes on my Rivendell.
I'd like Neo-Retros, but would consider touring cantis, minimotos, or other
V-brake or Canti styles. I'd also consider other green anodized items, if
anyone is holding.
Thank you!

That sucks. I’m in Manhattan and I’ll keep a lookout for it.

Look up spacers in the McMaster-Carr catalog. Measure precisely and order
once.

Also the WolfTooth tools are really nice quality! You might want to look at
those.

Get good tools! You don't really need "imperial" tools. Only metric.
I recently upgraded to Wera Zyklop tools - amazing. I wish I had done this
years ago. I would have been so much better off. Also, mini-air compressors
that plug into your car are cheaper than floor pumps for bikes at this
The only thing bad about the VP Vice is sometimes they tear up your shoes.
Don't wear nice shoes with them!! I learned that the hard way.

VP Vice all the way! They're thinner so essentially lower your bottom
bracket or center of gravity a little more than you'd expect. Very nice.
I haven't tried the others though. The Speedplays look nice! VP Vice are
generally expensive but I found some on eBay for $40 or so a pair. I think

I have the Appaloosa in NYC, but I have the 55cm one from the original run
and it's too big for you. It's a great bike for NYC. Mine is even set up
singlespeed right now. It still rides amazing. Even for me - the Appaloosa
feels BIG! But mine fits me well and I love it.
Why don't you measure
