I have some very nice and very lightly/barely used bags for sale. There's nothing wrong with these bags. I just have more bags than I need, and I'm sort of an experimenter. These wonderful bags simply don't meet my current needs. Inquiries and offers off-list, please. I take PayPal. Thanks for

Very nice looking bike build. As one who also has a LHT, yes, the Rivendell is a much more nimble feeling bike. (Although I do prefer the bars way up on mine. Personally have had no problem with the VO seatpost. But am not using it at present. Had it on my LHT but went back to a Nitto. Didn't

FWIW ... I was the opposite about the VO post! LoL. I returned it. I really didn't trust it... as I thought the tiny head, the actual part that clamps on the seat rails .. was just too small. It's much smaller than any post I've seen lately ... it reminded me of posts from the CNC crazed day

I have a brand new in the box Park digital scale. I have never used it but I did (before listing it here) throw some batteries in to check that it worked. So this is actually better than new as it will include batteries and they normally don't. $43 shipped in the US. http://www.parktool.com/

Great looking bike. I have also have 84 PBH but went for the 56cm Sam. I love the bike but it is a large frame. Those sure look like 650B tires so would your bike be a 52cm? Or was there a 54cm at some point in the past? Dan On Sep 1, 3:56 pm, Frank Brose wrote: > Nicely done. I dig the fron
