Having difficulty conceptually with all forms of rude driving behavior being
equal.
Cyclists can and do often annoy. They rarely kill or maim.
Bus drivers may be reported and in Chicago at least fired for reckless
behavior.
While auto casualties overall have declined, this is mainly because
No one said that their sins are equal; I agree that motorists take their

Ryan,
Unless you find a used pair, buy the brakes from Rivendell.
Does this change mean that you will have a set of honjos up for sale? I am
looking for some.

I was extatic about the IRD high-pro cantis Riv set up on the erstwhile Sam

I was thinking about the longer length shorts, as they're shown in the
Hebden Cord catalog specifically. The Flickr photo is the only one
that I've found that actually shows a pair of Hedben Cord shorts,
they're obviously quite short in length. If Russell Brand would rock

$900 (with shipping) for a bike that originally sold for $1400... Seems fair. A
