Franklyn,
Thanks for the link! They're finally on - looking sweet - but a real
challenge to mount.
I'm hoping that someone sees the previous request to make a movie that
shows each step in detail and takes action - I think it's a gap that
needs to be filled ... AND ... people would probably pay

Hi!
I would imagine a single-speed rider might be more sensitive to this
issue than many other folks...
What kind of dynamo hub do you use? I couldn't tell in the pictures.
And what kind would you buy today if you were looking for a new one?

I like the idea of stem shifters. Ahearne frame feature them
frequently. Those pictured look pretty goofy with that housing

of that big stack of washers, and would have had room to put the cable
housing stops down there for a

I like stem shifters. I installed an older set on my Bleriot. They are readily
available on Ebay, many as NOS, Suntour, Shimano.

The Riv has a SON 20 R, which is Schmidt's lighter, lower-resistance model:
it was originally designed for smaller wheels (20 versus the model 28
for 26 and 27 wheels) that, of course, rotate faster, and thus it was
designed to put out a given wattage at a relatively higher wheel rpm. This
means
Arrgh. I'm working that weekend and so won't be able to attend the

Genetics has to be the key, along with weight management. I just got
back from a week in northern Arizona with a few of my touring buds.
We range in age from 59 to 71. The strongest rider is a 70 year old
who's 6' tall weighs 140 lbs. He rides a Jurassic age MTB and
hydrates with Mountain Dew.
Very cool, Jan. Great first post. I look forward to reading future

I often wish BQ was monthly, but I know you'd need a larger staff, and
the quality would probably suffer somewhat. I think it's great now,
and worth the wait.

Embrace the rain. It's kinda fun, actually. Good fenders and mud-flaps

bikes, but cleaning chains and cogs weekly, and
