Holy cow! What a ride. If you've ever found yourself longing at the
Mt. Diablo photos on RBW, and find yourself in Santa Monica, head up
to the hills for a mixter. Photos:

Oh, and the bike is gorgeous, too! But I still like the garden.

I replaced a 48cm Noodle with a 46cm Soba and it was about 80g lighter
on my scale, probably +/- 10g.

Fantastic ride, from about 10:30 - 4:00??? Tire of choice (chosen by choosy
cyclists!) was a 35mm Pasela. We rode across Santa Monica and up Sepulveda
to Mulholland. Rode that to "Private Elite School Corner" and then jumped
onto the dirt. Rolling fire roads that were mostly smooth, and only ha

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.

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.

Hi Brian,
Great looking bike. I esp. love the paint color.
I was wondering... The pictures make it appear that the spacing
between the twine wrap and the handlebar sleeve is a larger than on
most bikes. Am I seeing this correctly? Was it done for a specific
reason? Would like to know more.
Thanks,
I've been in contact w/ a couple people that ride them in the UK, and they
are VERY happy with them. And the price is real good. Reminds me of
