* "how the hell did we get to talking trikes on the Riv List"*
That pithy comment was intended to reflect my pleasant surprise that so many
Riv folk also ride trikes. Fixed.

Seriously, thanks -- at least it shows that an upright does not

My ICE is 35 pounds or so. Given the heavier seat and frame on a tadpole,
I'd say the advertised weight for your Delta is plausible.Tim

Sure ... you can get higher bars without resorting to a tall stem. Having
ridden bikes with tall stem and a sloping TT the sloping ones feel a
whole better than a tall stem on a flat TT. Plus , a sloping TT is good for
the manufacturer as it can fit more people for a given size.

Kelly, thank you, thank you, thank you for the honesty of your post. As
both an amateur mechanic and amateur woodworker I have been repeatedly

Is there any advantages to either or is it a more aesthetic thing? I'm not
talking about mixte vs other, but say a Roadeo vs Hillborne. Thanks

Kelly,
I laughed reading this. I did my first metal fender installation last
winter (after many an SKS install) and felt the same way. I think we
forget that metal fenders at one point were only done by shops that
actually custom fit them to bikes. As you have shown, while fenders
today are mos

It's more convenient, because boiling in a pot ties up not only the pot but
the frying pan/lid, and very likely I want the frying pan/lid for something
else.

It might be difficult to find a mug that nests in the little pot, and holds
the Trangia burner inside it. So I recommend just finding a mug and calling
it a day. I also recommend the excellent Trangia teakettle that does nest in
the cookset inside the little pot. A teakettle is enormously useful.
Trangia Coffee/Tea People: When camping, what mug do you use and
where's it kept? I ask because I'm not sure if I should look for a
mug that nests in the smaller of the two Trangia cooksets sold by RBW
or I pack/clip a mug to my saddlesack and call it a day.

I was sure. The sound was definitely chain-motion related. It actually

Well, the irony has passed. Probably simply due to the lube having a chance
