It is raining again... or maybe still,,. here in N. VT this morning.
I have a very nice Showers Pass rain jacket, but it's only wearable
below 65. I'm considering a rain cape. Can anyone suggest a good,
breathable rain jacket that works in warmer weather?

Thomas,
Your page is great -- lots of useful information there. Also, I like
the Kevin's bag on the front of the bike. I might try that.
Do you know off hand which stems (model and length) you are using with
each handlebar? It would be interesting to compare the exact change
in effective
Thanks, Michael; best to you too.
The new rack has the inevitable defects of its qualities in that it
detracts from the randonneur quality of the bike, but I do have the
fast Rivendell commuter and, after all, this bike was initially
intended to carry a small dog, which the new rack will allow.
Very nice. And just the other side of 50. I'd love it if you got
that lever working.

I have DaVinci splitters on my Bombadil (after seeing Seth's setup...
thanks, Seth).
I use them for my derailleur cables only. Since I'm running V-brakes,

One thing I learned is that having chosen Paul Motolites made this
project significantly more expensive. Each cockpit has its own noodle.
And with most brands/styles of linear pull brake, my approach to this
would have meant replicating a $5-$10 part for each cockpit. With the
