I have the pletscher clem rack which is great (the mousetrap thing is
surprisingly useful, it can hold a basket in place) and an Axiom rack (I
think it's called streamliner) that is pretty lightweight.
One thing I do is put bolts for the lower legs of the rack on the inside of
the seatstay
I have never snapped a binder bolt but FWIW when I had some slipping on my
Atlantis post, my LBS spun the inside of the seat tube with a flex hone
attachment on their drill and that helped a lot.

Just a plug for the wonderful site https://whatbars.com/ that lets you pick
different handlebars and overlay them in a way that makes it really easy to
compare width and reach and everything. It has the Albatross and Bosco,

Not to muddy the waters but I have a 2011 Homer and a first gen Roadini. It
would be tough to tell you the difference in ride between them; the Roadini
might be a tiny bit stiffer. Roadini definitely feels tough enough for

Oh yes I'm definitely aware that the Clem (and all Riv bikes) are perfect
for this. I've just never had the chance to ride a 60 Chev and would like

I second the Weehoo recommendation. It's recumbent enough the kiddo can
fall asleep, they can pedal when they want to, and it's 1 wheel so super
maneuverable. Takes about as much room as a normal bike in the garage.

I found the Clem to feel more cruiser-y than the 90s MTBs. It is a
fantastic off road and all rounder, but it's harder to jook the whole bike
around. Handlebar choice makes a big difference too; I found the Boscos
weren't my favorite for trail riding. That said, it's super tough and very
I'm a big fan of Lems; their sole is a thick enough to be comfortable on
pedals and give good grip. Still zero drop, well made, and still pretty
minimal-feeling.
I love Soft Star shoes too, but haven't tried any of their boots or
fur-lined options.

Glad you are enjoying the bike and kept the Willie sticker. :)
Here are a couple pix of it with boscos (I bought the Clem new, then
happened upon a Homer and didn't want to keep both).

I've been using the same set of $20 Odyssey pedals daily for about 3 years and
haven't really found a pair I like better.

I'm 87 PBH, 5'10" and have a Craigslist-found 61 Homer. The ~2cm standover
(which is what you would have) is less of an issue than I thought it would
be; it's totally unnoticeable during actual riding. The seat is pretty low,
such that even the small Riv Saddlesack rubs the tire and interferes
Looks great, I'll try to make it.

I'd be interested! I live in north central (Burnet & Anderson) and work a
bit norther (Burnet & Braker). Walnut creek is good, northwest park, Austin
State Hospital/Central Market, Pease Park, and on down by the lake are all
good. Depending on east-west orientation it's easy to get down to
I'm signed up to do the whole thing. Never done it before, would welcome
any advice. So far I've heard the most important thing is to take care of
your rear end.
I'll be on a blue Homer.

Has anyone tried the VO microfiber saddles? How do they compare to an
unpadded leather saddle (e.g. Brooks, Rivet, SA, etc.)?
