I had no intention of buying a new bike. Let me say that for starters.
But as part of my trip to the Bay Area last month I made it over to Walnut
Creek and found a nice looking Simpleone in the showroom. So, took a 62cm
model out for a spin, loved the fit, loved how light and springy it felt

YES!! Glad to see that one grabbed up. I believe I saw that exact Simpleone
while visiting. The color was super nice to me as my very first Trek road

I just purchased a Big Agnes brand Lynx Pass model two person tent and
wanted to know if any of you have used this for bicycle camping or
backpacking etc. It lists the weight at about 4 lbs. 14 oz. and I
managed to get it for $100. Just wondering if I made a smart purchase
or if I should return it
I just don't like glasses. $175 at Co Cyclist. As new. $60 shipped CONUS.

I went to a bike swap this morning and scored 3 HG cassettes (two missing
outer cogs and lockrings) for $5 -- not bad. Brother willing to trade stock
aluminum 36 and 24 for steel ones. Ready to go!

Yea, I really enjoy mine and am glad I purchased it when I did. Not

For what it is it is a remarkably versatile bicycle depending on how
you set up the gearing.

I would consider a rim of similar width to your existing rims so you don't
have to adjust your brakes when changing wheels.

Used a Big Agnes Seedhouse for a number of years backpacking. It
was plenty light enough, probably too light since the aluminum poles
kept splitting at the ends. IIRC the Seedhouse may have been in the

Disclaimer: I have no first hand experience with the tent in question.
My impression from looking at pics online is that it's probably a
reasonable light-weather tent and for $100 it's a good deal. Keep it, use
