Why don't you make one that's reflective, too? I don't think anyone
has ever done that and it would be a great safety item as well as a
mud deflector. Two birds with one stone.

That would be Gino's wife's, listed below in a separate thread, and a

I came across a 54cm Orange saluki on craigslist. it looks nice. I
thought i should pass it along. Its to small for me but I thought
someone else might be interested in taking a look at it.

likely go to 8. The range is too tight and I find that I overshift...I
simply don't need a nine. My experience is that 8 with friction shift

Interesting. I may try putting a pitlock on my atlantis seat post and

I believe a Rivendell mountain bike should be used on *civilized*

Hi Folks,
My wife is selling her nearly perfect condition garage queen Saluki. Why is
she selling? She likes (and rides) her ancient go-fast bike and wants to get

Well, let's hope that anybody who buys one or more of these items
takes the shipping charge into account when determining how much to
bid. At least it's a flat rate, so there shouldn't be any surprises. I

Thanks for posting this, I never noticed it on their web site. My
wife has an '83 Sequoia, and it is indeed a very nice and thoughtfully
designed general touring bike. If I ever found another one in my size
(63) I would buy it. I've passed the link onto her.

The Zeppelins should fit nicely - they did on the Bombadil I built up.
No extra hardware required - the stock hangers & holes put them right
where they needed to be. A simple cork spacer down below and you
should be good to go.
