Weight contest! (C'mon, you know you want it.) Roadeo owners: tell us the true built but not laden weight of your bike. Built but not laden means: ready to ride, with pedals, saddle, bottle cages, and fenders, lights, racks and so forth if you have them, but not bottles, bags, pumps, repair kits, and so forth -- the stuff you add to your bike after it is built -- stuff that isn't clamped or bolted on. Saddlebags and panniers aren't ditto on. And tell us about the fenders and lights and such, and also tell us about the size (seat tube, c-c).

Where is there a place for you to be? No place.* * "Nothing outside you can give you any place," he said. "You needn't to look at the sky because it's not going to open up and show no place behind it. You needn't to search for any hole in the ground to look through into somewhere else. You can't go neither forwards nor backwards into your daddy's time nor your children's if you have them. In yourself right now is all the place you've got. If there was any Fall, look there, if there was any Redemption, look there, and if you expect any Judgment, look there, because they all three will have to be in your time and your body and where in your time and your body can they be?* * "Where in your time and your body has Jesus redeemed you?" he cried. "Show me where because I don't see the place. If there was a place where Jesus had redeemed you that would be the place for you to be, but which of you can find it?” -- *Flannery O'Connor,* Wise Blood * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
