Congratulations Anne!
That sounds like a great ride. There's really something about those
Roadeos. Can't wait to see some images!

WOW! Dustin - thanks so much for planning this. This was likely the
most variety per mile I've see on on one ride - lovely empty
backroads, dirt paths, fire roads, rocky and rutted fire roads, single
track, and twisty road descents and massive climbing. We had a great
group of folks and a lot of
Great pics, David. Hope the ride didn¹t set your knee recovery back too
much.

This was an amazing ride. Probably the toughest I've ever been on. Lots
of climbing up front, then marvelous alpine singletrack. Lots of mud.
Terrible fires through there over the last decade, so all the big trees were
dead, but lots of new growth at the ground level.

Very nice, enjoyed it, thanks for sharing!

I've read of this technique. Basically just turn the bars sideways and roll
it in. The theory is the baggage handlers treat it much better than just
"some other box to move." Presume it's easier for TSA to check it quickly
as well. A Quickbeam would be a good idea for this.

Seven turned out for today's SoCal Riv ride, riding everything from a Roadeo
with Jack Browns, to a MTB singlespeed with 29x2.4 tires.
42 miles, 5600 feet of climbing, and about 80% of it on dirt. Temps in the
high 60s.
This was some of the best mixed-surface riding around. Paved road, dirt
road,
I'm always on the lookout for a 57cm Bleriot frameset. And have
passed on a couple, stupidly...
Just thought I'd see if anyone out there is ready to part with one?
Thanks!

I have a custom, full campy Marinoni, with championship racing
stripes, from back in the days when that actually meant something.
But my Ramboulliet will see your Rodeo, uphill and down, and raise

If I hadn't already spent far more than I or my riding deserve on my two 26"
wheel roads, I'd buy a Rodeo; that and a Quickbeam (now that I have the
beater/tourer 3X6 Sam Hill for groceries, touring and hill+headwind
combinations) are what I'd want. I'd want to have the Rodeo made into a

I need to get a set of thumb shifters. I don't want to go the route of
bar ends and thumbies as it's pretty pricey. Past that the only

We rode within a 1/4 mile of it on the SoCal ride last month, but the

For professional resumes,
Hi all,
I'm reconfiguring my "stable" a little bit and the Atlantis is going
to become my main commuter/all-'rounder (in place of the Quickbeam,
which I sold). Oddly, for me that means I'm going to swap my Nitto Top

Happyriding,
You can build a frame to take wider tires and have a smaller Q than
say a Bombadil, but it would likely be a full custom frame designed
with modifications to the stays. No one has made a copy of the
Stumpjumper design, but even they couldn't handle much less than 147mm
wide crank..
Where is the theatre located? What city are you in?

I did the same thing on a nail hole in a pasella, except I only used
duct tape; it worked fine. After all you are only trying to keep the

Delgado cross rims. They are slightly wider than the Paselas. I ran
them at about 75 psi, about the same as how I ran the Paselas. They
seem to be lower in profile, I did not measure that dimension yet.
