Rene: Sweet build... Love the Atlantis; you've got it set up perfectly. How are you liking that Schmidt hub/light combo? Pretty darn nice, huh? Nothing like a great commute by bike... Enjoy.
I'm attempting to travel to the Philly Bike Expo on Sunday via bike and train(s)...in fact I have anothe post about it. I will pedal down to Princeton (about 10 miles) to the train station, then take 2 trains into Philly. I haven't done the trains with a bike yet... hope it works out OK. Working REALLY hard at breaking in that green B17... It's getting there. Peace, BB On Oct 27, 8:08 pm, MichaelH <mhech...@gmail.com> wrote: > Nice Bike!
