That's great you can buy them now. My friend built one using a
Platypus bladder, some tubing, and First Need Filter. We first used
it in Tehipite Canyon in King's Canyon, so we called it the Tehipite
Water System. And on that trip we were much better hydrated b/c water
was so cheap. Just fill,
Travel Agents feel funny and the cable is much more susceptible to
breaking.V-brakes are better in the wet.

When Sweetie and I visited Riv HQ during a Bay Area swing a couple of
summers ago, we kidnapped Grant for a lovely power lunch around
the corner that lasted nearly two hours.
When we returned Grant to his environment obviously more relaxed, he

I spent some time in the Walnut Creek area while biking down the coast
a few winters ago. I met Jay at the Riv head quarters, where we

My lovely fiance had her saddle stolen last week outside of the school

Curious if anyone out there has a woman's saddle that they'd like to

I too have had the pleasure to get to know Jay and will miss him a
great deal.
Not to make this a blush fest for Jay but I want to second (or third

You make me wish I'd kept it. I may eventually buy an old but decent road
frame (Roadeo has verticals, alas) and set it up with an AW or Shimano 3 sp

I rode PBP using a 72-inch gear, although in retrospect I would have geared a
little higher.
Riding from CA to Kansas in 2006, I rode the first week in 72 inches (over the
Sierras, across the mountains of northern Nevada, and over the Wasatch). I
started gearing up after that. By the time we
