Brian, I remember your bike some earlier posts -- you had an equally beautiful brittney spaniel in one of the shots. That bike just gets more attractive every time that I look at it.

is that an orange hilsen or a custom paint job? nice.

What a beaut! and great timing on the photo shoot since it was pouring all morning, at least in W. Seattle. It looks like from your detail shot of the Durace rear Der. that you are running a larger than normal road cassette with it, or is the close up making it appear that way?. I am running an 11-28 with my Ultegra RD and am curious if you are able to go larger than that? Anyway hope we get some nice Indian summer weather so you can get out and enjoy that beauty RR Seattle On Sep 6, 9:15 pm, Steven M.

[RBW] Re: Basketed Hilsen
There's more space there because... I ran out of tape! :) I don't tend to hold the bars right by the stem, and it was my first wrap in 20 years, so I left it. It actually works out great, and leaves space for lights and other novelties. B On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 9:15 PM, Steven M. Schermerhorn s_schermerh...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi Brian, Great looking bike.

It's an 11-32 SRAM PG-950. It works, but I don't recommend it as i get a bit of noise when in that gear. I would stick with 28 tops and will probably replace this wheel/cassette at some point.
