[RBW] Re: Mounting a Dyno Light on a Nitto Mini Front Rack with a Basket?
I am not sure which front rack she has but I have a wald basket attached to a Nitto mini-front rack, forget which one exactly, which has a tab on the front of the rack for a light (see: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3464/3990663590_855aeb58a7_z.jpg?zz=1) I mounted my light on there with a simple nut and bolt. You could also attach it to one of the threaded eyelets on the side of the rack but that may prove more complicated than the above. I can take a picture of my set-up later today if you would like.

[RBW] WTB: Nigel n' Smythe Tweed mud flapper.
Howdy, Friend and I went for a ride this morning, lent him one of my bikes. Both made it home, he with my bike sans mud flap. I know they've got s'ville ones these days but I'd love to put a tweed flap back on the thing. Miss it, just a flap, but I miss it.

[RBW] Re: Saluki/Atlantis summer tour advice
+1 to Another superior (but tough) alternate route is King Ridge Road just north of the Russian River- you head up (and I do mean up) from Stewarts Point to Tin Barn Road, then head south along the ridge. Bring plenty of water. If you want directions from Mendicino to SF via mostly dirt (the roads mentioned above) let me know. I initially got the route from Jay @ Riv.

[RBW] A bicycle for my fifty something year old mother.
All, My mother has a 3 speed bicycle that she rides around town on. She gets some groceries, visits friends, rides to the gym, that sort of thing. She's really taken to cycling and she's taken the bike on some longer rides, probably 30 miles at the longest. She wants to do more of this. She wants to ride up big hills, she wants to ride on groomed dirt paths, she wants to get even more groceries, she wants to go riding with friends; basically she wants a do it all bike that is comfortable, user friendly and will get her up that big hill coming up. She'd also like a mixte/step through because she is getting older and it's much easier to mount those sorts of frames. The 3 speed just isn't cutting it for those longer rides. I ask you, members of this lovely list, what sort of bicycle does this lady need? I know the obvious choice would be a Betty Foy but she is squeamish about the price tag. I really think she should get one but she just doesn't want to spend that much money on anything, be it a bike or whatever else might cost that much. I am well aware that the bikes are worth the money and I've told her that. She just doesn't want a bike that nice. So, does anyone have any suggestions? I honestly cannot think of a single bike she could buy off the rack that would fit the bill and look good doing it.

[RBW] Re: FS: New in box VO Porteur Rack
There are, or so it seems, two ways to install the rack. Either you mount it to both the brake hole in the fork crown, via the included hardware, and the front drop out eyelets OR you can, as I have, mount the rack at the eyelets and directly to the front fender. If you don't have fenders then go with the former. If you do have fenders, probably only metal ones would work, you'd probably want to gothe way I did. I really couldn't get it to work any other way.
