well two of those models (the lower priced bleriot and saluki) aren't even offered by rivendell anymore (discontinued models) so maybe thats why he's looking for them on craigslist. a 61cm bleriot with 650x32b tires might work. On Jun 18, 8:37 am, Seth Vidal skvi...@gmail.com wrote:

[RBW] Rivendells for Bicycle Cops

2009-06-19 Thread William Henderson
This post has absolutely no grounds in reality and I have little hope of ever seeing it happen. ...anyway... I was reading an article a couple weeks back about how poorly setup most police bicycles are. Bike cops spends 6+ hours a day in the saddle and they have all needs of a typical Rivendell

Maybe not so far-fetched in some places - i remember the Virginia cops driving Volvos back in the '80s. It would sure be tempting to a (knowledgable) bike thief to see a cop on a Bombadil though. It would be cool to see a dyno-powered set of police flashers on a bike. Bill On Fri, Jun 19,

They could license the design to someone that could do it though... would be a cool income stream. Cops in Redlands abandoned their bikes for Segways. Apparently Homeland Security $$$ frowns upon HPVs. DE On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 10:38 AM, Jeremy Till jeremy.t...@gmail.com wrote: A fun

The MUSA knickers are great--I wore them for all of my riding for about two years. But I have to say, now that I've been using Swobo knickers for the last six months, I don't think I'd go back. I find the fit and comfort level to be better, and they don't twist around my waist they way the MUSA
