No disrespect here Rene' but maybe try not exercising so much..I know riding is enjoyable I love it but try to mix it up a little and if you are trying to lose fat, lift weights and do shorter rides. The plain facts I am almost 53 and 258 down from 282 with virtually no exercise due to weat

That is a pretty bike. I guess it never sold a while back. There was a longinsh thread about the possibility of a scam. The owner claimed to be a former waterford worker, bought the bike but never rode it much, etc, etc. Probably an honest story. It looks like a heck of a deal if it suits your

I often stop and eat a bunch of berries on the way home from work. I have shellac on my bars, so the tape doesn't stain, but I'm now wondering, would berry stains count as beausage. :-) On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 7:05 PM, Zack wrote: > Today, on my maiden voyage for the new Sam Hillborne, I rememb

[RBW] Re: My New Sam - Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Heart 2TT

That is a beautiful build of a beautiful bike. Do things literally leap from the path of that E3's beam? Pretty as I find the "stock" Hillbornes, they *do* look better with a contrast-y head tube. Regarding your bags, however... Until now I had completely gotten over the fact that I no l

There is a satisfying simplicity in having fewer bikes but 2 is really pushing it. Inevitably 1 bike will always be out of order, and then you would not have more than 1 to choose from. 3 is just better. On Aug 18, 12:47 pm, Earl Grey wrote: > Taking off fenders to switch to knobbies is n

I've been sittin' on the sidelines on this, but, I suppose I should pitch in a bit... Twenty years ago, I was a lean 19-yr-old, 6' tall, 150lb infantry Marine. Before then, I could eat anything, wouldn't gain a pound. When I got out several years later, I was more like 180lbs; heavier, but s

Glycogen is not a body thing. Glycogen won't move from your arms to your legs. Once your legs are depleted, that's it. As I understand it (I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night), fat as a fuel needs something to burn it, and that is some for

They are indeed Berthouds, the 50mm. I am running the 40mm duremes. Setting these up was a two day affair. It was like trying to solve a puzzle that I was not any good at (like the first time you try a crossword). I had to take a hacksaw to the rear fender to get it in between the chainstay

[RBW] Re: Do I need this Hunq'a?

Taking off fenders to switch to knobbies is not something most people will actually do more than a few times. After 20 years of 1 or 2 bikes I am now up to 3 for that reason: commuter/baby hauler, passhunter, and rigid mtn bike. I just rode the Hunq at Rivendell and it is a sweet bike. Your squishy

[RBW] Re: My New Sam - Or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Heart 2TT

Beauty. I like the color combo, the way it picks up the sun at just the right angle. The fenders make it look sharp, nice selection (Berthoud?) The line is clean and true also. Nice job. What size tires are you running under dem tings? I hope you ride it and enjoy it for a long time to come

[RBW] Re: Ride from Rivendell to Mt Diablo

there a many criss crossing bike paths in Walnut Creek. My bike club gets to Diablo by taking the Bart to the Pleasant Hill Station. There is a path that starts there with a fine new expensive bike bridge over Treat Blvd. So go over the bridge toward Treat, then make the first bike trail left on

Aside from the occasional tiny bowl of Ben & Jerry's Coffee Health Bar Crunch, my own personal/done good treat is a pretty low carb mixup of Trader Joe's NonFat Greek Yogurt (oddly or mislabeledly, it has fewer carbs than the lo-far or full-fat Greek---and all Greeks have way less than nonGreeks).
