Re: [RBW] Re: Input re: a Haqapillar build and Tyre Choice
Thanks Alex- I was thinking about the Duremes as well, but the preponderance of time on dirt suggests the Extremes a better choice.

Re: [RBW] Cold Weather Eye Protection
There are military-like goggles that are small and have replaceable lens (clear & dark). I'll look at mine tomorrow to get brand. They work wonders & don't fog. Also, there are similar goggles to those sold at motorcycle shops. Try a Harley store. Michael DiBenedetto www.lifeforcemassage.com 3190 Old Tunnel Rd.

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Rivendell bike?
