The hole is really small and I drilled it into on of the indentations in
the dust cap. The first time I did this, I did not reseal the hole. The
grease acts as its own seal. The second time, I placed some bees wax in
the indentation, though I do not think it is really necessary.

Gap's boxer briefs are a great spandex/cotton hybrid with great seaming for
riding. Absolutely love them. Paired with some cutoff shirts from
jeans/pants/whatever that had 1-2% spandex woven in is great. Wool makes my

No, I get that. And I completely understand the economics for why frames
cost so much more than prints. However, there's a part of me that can't get

is going to be but a small down payment -- internal voice: Wow, nice
That was the justification going on in my head: I bought a poster for

I saw the tubing specs at Riv. The Legolas and Roadeo have the same tubing
for top and seat tubes, fork blades and chain stays.

I think anything related to art gets a mark-up similar to what happens when
