Like Monty Burns, I've had one of my unpredictable changes of heart.
Upon reflection the other Riv isn't going to fill the same place in
the lineup that the Rambouillet will. So, heck, I'll make a winter
project of it. Sorry for the false alarm.

I agree about the LHT, but you can't build one up for less than a
grand unless you buy used parts, or unless there are *really* cheap
parts that I don't know about.

The built one that comes with everything but racks and pedals is $1050,
$1075, but some shops may have them at the old price of $985. Of
course, to swap for a-bars, with the required levers, grips, cables,
etc, may run the price closer to $1300. Plus tax, where applicable.
Still the best deal on a bike that you're likely to find.

It uses a normal low rider rack. Have you eyeballed the bike and it

I've had the same Schwalbe/Synergy combo. as you for about 8 months
and have never even had a flat. I do remember the tires fitting
loosely when I installed them. I have ridden them with various tire

Agree that the entire sport is different. This summer, went for my
first mountain bike rides since the late 1980's. The local trails
are entirely different. On an old, non-suspended bike, took a real

really awesome.But

Hi All,
Before this goes to ebay or craigslist thought I would offer it here first.
I am the original owner. Purchased this new from Durango Cyclery in 1982. The
frame has been very well taken care. In January of '09 I had it stripped and
powder-coated locally here in Ft.
Speaking of the Milano, how has any owner/rider onlist found hiserhers?
Would it make a nice short-distance errand bike with the addition of
baskets?
I tried to buy my daughter one for myself but she wanted a cruiser (I got
her the 24 wheel Electra Townie 3i, which she loves).
On Sun, Oct 25,
One test ride sold me, and I've had my Milano since 1999. I've
recommended the Milano to several friends, and they also have liked
their bikes very much. The Milano feels faster than the numbers
indicate, and while I don't have a basket mounted, my guess is a
basket should work fine.

Kind of a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway. Is the
difference between a Ti B17 and a regular B17 just that it weighs less

substantial.
