Hi JS, I'm interested.  Would you be willing to take chest and sleeve 
measurements?

Thanks,
Harth

[RBW] Re: Good pedals for both SPD clip-in and street shoe riding?

[Harth Huffman]

I used a pair of Shimanos until they died, but I never liked them - the 
surface was too slippery when not clipped in.  Replaced them with Xpedo 
Duos, which I love:

[RBW] Re: Fender install on '96 All-rounder

[Harth Huffman]

Oh, I have not heard of such a thing as a stand off!  Nice.  That looks 
like it would be more stable than the spacer I was considering.  I'll begin 
the process and see what length I need, Benz.  Thank you for your generous 
offer either way.  It is much appreciated.

Got it.  Thanks.  That gives me an option to look for.

Re: [RBW] Fender install on '96 All-rounder

[Harth Huffman]

Oh yeah, that is thick leather, Steven.  So you also use it to run a long 
bolt from the chainstay bridge to the fender?

[RBW] Fender install on '96 All-rounder

[Harth Huffman]

The chainstay bridge is pretty far away from the wheel on these old 
frames.  I'm about to install new fenders to replace the beat-up and 
butchered old ones I used for far too long.  I am thinking I'll just use a 
lengthy cylindrical bolt spacer to run from the bridge to the fender, but 
that seems like it will move around a lot.  If you have put fenders on one 
of these, what do you use?

Thanks,
Harth
Portland

[RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell Mountain Bike 17.5" Waterford Built

Oh my, that is such a gorgeous bike.  Geometry is very similar to my 
Vanilla, which is not a coincidence!

I hope Ray is buying this.  It needs to stay in the family.

Cheers,
