Good bike shops:
Hiawatha Cyclery, south Minneapolis--call to make sure they're open first;
home of frequent poster Jim Thill
The Hub Bike Co-op, south Minneapolis--funky good-sized bike co-op; likely

mid-week, and back to work the next a.m., so Sam Taylor seems a bit too

Y' betcha Andrew,
I'll pitch for Hiawatha Cyclery in SE Mpls because without them, I wouldn't
be a Rivendell owner. It's a small shop but has more useful gear per square
foot (inch?) than any other worth mentioning. I rarely leave without an
armful of things.

Hi Rob,
I see you wrote that shellac cleans up with alcohol. I recently shellaced
some handlebar tape and got some splatter on the paint job of a blue
Rambouillet. Have you (or any other members) had any luck removing shellac
from paint jobs while not harming the paint itself? Thanks

+1 on the Rambouillet. In addition to what you wrote I love the raspberry
color at the top and bottom. I also like the simple bold look of the
Bombadil badge.

Given the time limit you describe, SP Taylor would be impossible.
If one were willing to camp illegally and discretely, one could simply ride
up into the headlands or onto Tam. Or:

Just remembered Rodeo ("Roe-day-oh") Beach and wondered if there was a

I would second Hawk Camp at Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands. China Camp is
about 30 miles from SF. So, that would be tough to get back in the morning
for work unless you break camp super early (although you might could
incorporate the ferry into your return trip).

Give it a try.
The full 180K is a leg buster, and that's the route everyone has in mind
when they talk of how hard D2R2 is.
The 100k is not easy, but it's a much more manageable route, and there are
bailout points throughout.
All that aside, D2R2 a great event. Friendly crowd, lot o' of

I second Hawk Camp. It's easy to get to and fairly close although does
require riding on the dirt. If I still lived in SF I'd be out there
almost weekly.

RBW says the PBH for the 52 is 81 to 87cm. I think you need the bike;
that's a good deal, and I'd be very tempted if it was my size.

I'm 5' 11 1/2", and ride a 56 cm Bomba comfortably. PBH around 86. If you give
the folks at Riv your PBH, they'll tell you what will fit. I would guess a 52
would fit you well. Peter's bike is very attractive. Nice brakes, too

Hi Jeff,
I masked off everywhere but the cork with masking tape, plastic bags and
brown paper, so I kept the drips off the bike, and didn't have the occasion
to clean it off the bike's paint. It is easiest to clean up of course
before it dries, with a cloth moistened with alcohol. Not that that

Hmmm I've never tried shellac, and I typically use cork. What's the

it easy to clean and freshen?
