Of course, I omitted the other side of the story. I'm the one in my group who rides a Rivendell and carries cookies in a saddlebag. The others ride carbon fiber bikes, no saddlebags, no triple cranksets, and they barely carry anything. Yet I still climb faster than some of them-- because my bike is so comfortable, cookies on bike rides so delicious, and low gears so great, that I ride all the time. Better to have five pounds less on me and five pounds more on a great bike. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
