almost always do to the point of being at least a pain to remove. I

This is interesting from my point of view. Having come to "modern"
road cycling in 1994 (and not having heard of Rivendell or GP at that
time), I bought a Shimano 8-speed freehub-equipped bike and never
looked back. And of course that hub (which I still have) is
compatible with the 8-9 Shimano h
My inner Luddite spoke to me when I acquired my new Sam last year: a
Phil hub with a Dura-Ace 7-speed freewheel, and I couldn't be happier
with it.

Careful with that Shimanopore freewheel if you've got an IRD-specific
Phil hub. If you do, and if it works for you, then maybe I have some
other issue (probably "installer error" though I can't see how right
mow) that prevented it from working for me.

Well, I happen to like the Phil fw hub on my Sam Hillborne. Will
admit that it was done (a) because it was something I wanted, having
lusted after them in the 1980's, and (b) got an extremely good deal on
it.
Would I do it again? Probably not. The rest of my bikes have
cassettes and am quite ha

Thomas,
I'll tell you soon how this works out, i have a Phil Wheel IRD FW hub

Mike, you overlooked the last (and most important) bit of the
invitation: "All bikes and riders are encouraged to show and go for a
ride. One to 30 gears allowed (sorry 31 speeders). Be there or be
L7." :-)
H, an orange-shirted Atlantis rider, I'll have to think about that
one...

Oh, sorry. Please don't worry with the comparison photos for me. I've
realized that I can deduce what I sought to know by comparing your
profile photo of your Atlantis / Dirt Drop 100 / B825 with the live
profile of my Sam / Dirt Drop 100 / Albatross bar.
Thanks for the source. I may have a sixth

The Paul thumbies can be ordered online directly from Paul Components:

the stem are the mountain version; I had originally thought of putting them
on the bars but gave this a try and it worked. One's going to be a bit

Certainly. Back in the Good Old
"I feel your pain". I had two IRD freewheels fail within a few hundred
miles. Both from the same source. But after that, I've had one that's
gone well over 1,000 miles without a problem. Not saying that's a
lot... just that it is obviously different than my experience with the
others. So I'm comfor

Thomas,
I ordered the bars from Universal Cycles,
http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=37412. I only
discovered them through an online post as I was searching for Trekking bars.

as well, but that

The bars are trekking bars but they swoop down in the front like mustache
bars. These touring bars look like a combination of trekking and moustache
bars.

Quill stems allow for far easier (and far more) bar height adjustment,
which is why I prefer them. I also prefer threaded headsets because I
can remove the bar & stem from my bike and not have the fork fall out
onto the floor. Threadless headsets were invented by an industry that

Hi!
Thanks for the photos. I'd never seen the B825 in context. Where'd you
get the bar? Any chance of an "overlay" or sise-by-side picture with
an Albatross bar? I'm interested in comparing the sweep-back.
But don't miss a ride to get a photo! Enjoy that bike!
Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean
