I think it's mainly the leather saddle as well. Few years back before I sold
it, I had a honey Brooks Swallow on a 2008 indy fab ti crown jewel with a
modern campy groupset. On group rides people would wonder aloud how I could
keep up on a vintage bike. Also, Jim, beautiful bike you got there.
Interested to hear how this plays out.

Steve P - how is your decaleur attached? I saw it on your slide show, but
don't recognize the hardware.
Do you have a link or can you identify the part maker?
Thanks
As far as the how tall is tall, a 64 cm frame with 160mm exposed quill gets
pretty tall
Hey Peter,
I can't help with the choosing part, but if you go the the 10 then I have
one looking for a home.
All the best,

JimD that is a great looking bike.
I've also had my Brooks saddle questioned as a wooden one.

carbon (or maybe aluminum) and doesn't have brifters, people don't know how

It truly is a great riding bike.

Oh, and folks who have some vague idea about Brooks saddles often comment on
how uncomfortable they are.

Grant (or anyone heading to the Valley of the Sun): If you have the time,

You can always design and spec your own and then get it made custom. Make
your own prototype(s) from corroplast and tape, use those for as long as it
takes you to design your perfect bag. Once it's done, fold your plastic
bag flat, and mail it to your custom bag maker as a pattern.
Just yesterday a guy guessed the age of my Atlantis as ...at least 20
years old. He rides a nice old lugged steel Italian race bike
himself but doesn't keep up much with bike technology. On the other
hand, a fair number of Riders of a Certain Age in our club have Brooks

My Dad saw my Bombadil and asked if it was vintage, when I told him it was
brand new a year old he asked why they were still making steel bikes if
they could make them out of CF or Alumninum. We then went for a ride on
some 40 year old schwinn typhoons he had in the basement in an effort to

I am looking for an alba setup. Does anyone have an extra/unused set?
I need to get the whole usual set - shifters, grips, brake levers, longish
stem, - but I can piece it together if i need to.
Bar sets local to the San Francisco Bay Area would be great. Shipping can
get expensive.
Thanks
While I would love to give props to Grant on the Advisory Council for

I'm really kind of intrigued by the 1x11. From what I've read, it's a whole
system — special front crankset with the teeth shaped so that no chain
catcher is required, and the RD is new as well, moving differently than
typical derailers. This link has some
details:
If I had to go to town wailin' on something, then no, I'd not use it; reason I
like it is I don't have to clamp my bikes' top tubes into the bikestand's clamp
(my seat posts don't stick out enough for the clamp to grab); this adapter can
hold my bikes by the seat post for doing tweaks (brake
Interesting and doubtless silly-expensive. I'd like to know the proposed
price of those one-piece cassettes. The idea is good, but I wish they'd put
that RD into cheaper, wider-range (500%+) and more efficient internal
geared hubs instead of ever more complex and expensive -- and finicky?

I saw $450 ea mentioned on the VSalon forum, IIRC. That's one hell of a
piece of change for a wear item.

I believe the cassettes are around $425, and they require a special hub.
You're buying a system, really. It's geared for terrain riding, so a
different market than the Roloff. Lighter, too, I'd imagine.

So for the whole system, cassette, special hub and special
