Excellent idea; thanks. Usually when it is cold enough for a light
neck warmer, it is also cold enough for a second, thin front layer;
and as temps warm quickly here at 5-6K feet, easy removal is a great
plus.
Update: none found by Rapha, but did find these:
Everything is sold! Now to get it boxed up and shipped out! Thanks everyone
who showed interest in the stuff. Funds are getting squirreled away and
will hopefully go towards a Sam Hillborne frameset later this year.

Hey Will, thanks for all the info. Glad you're enjoying your Hillborne. I'm
a 91cm PBH, 80.5 SH and 5'11.5 tall. I have a little concern about the
same being a bit long for me when running drop bars and so wondering how it
handles with a shorter stem. I'm hoping to replace my LHT with a
I guess I'm a little late if you've already ordered, but my choice would be
the SmartWool merino neck gaiter (
http://www.rei.com/product/738922/smartwool-neck-gaiter). I have both the
SmartWool and a Riv Triple Tube (I embraced the pink), but in my opinion,
the SmartWool has a much nicer feel
Thanks. I was looking for something appropriate for temperatures
between 40 and 55 F, where I don't want a full-sized gaiter. I tried a
Riv wool gaiter some years ago but it chafed my neck thanks to its
bulk; I switched to fleece gaiters, which are fine but bulkier than I
want for our current 40F
Agreed. But for me at least, go fast is purely a feel, as nothing with me
aboard will be going fast by any objective measure! It's more about a
lively and responsive quality that I don't think is purely related to
weight or anything in particular. My Sam just never felt anything but
stout,

Since you are looking for thin neck protection in relativley mild temps,
are you aware of Buff?
http://www.rei.com/product/691367/buff-original-buff
I like them a lot. They are thin, inexpensive, not itchy wool (though I
like wool), stylish, and versatile.
You can pull them up to
Thanks a bunch for the write up and pictures Tony, great info.

Hi all,
I am looking to sell my copy of the DLG Riv poster. It has been out of the
box twice since I got it and it comes with the paper explaining the
artist's printing process. Looking to get what I paid when Rivendell did
the buy it before you see it promotion - $20, plus actual shipping.
well worth it! I love mine.

Thanks for all the replies. I've given the replies some thought and will
try to cut costs elsewhere. Already have a plan. I realize that if I sell
one, the chances of someday replacing it is slim. I would have most likely
sold the Hunqapillar but every time I ride it, I realize what a fun bike
Great news to hear a Riv is being kept. The secret is to consider selling
it, and consider it *so* seriously, that when you decide *not* to sell it,
it *feels* like you just bought yourself a Rivendell!

Alrighty folks big movie screening is coming this weekend. I already bought
my ticket. Now just need to plan a ride.
Thinking about making an early afternoonish ride somewhere around the Muir
Woods area. Looks to be a clear day so expect some type of mix-terrain
riding. Any thoughts for this
Jesus, that Back to Earth film was great. Good luck with your new film. I'm

Plus one on the Buff. I got mine for free cause it was a giveaway at some event
or other and it has somebody's logo on it, but I don't care. Super light and
stretchy. Sometimes I pull it up over my head and cover my ears, sometimes I
wear it up over my chin. Sometimes it's just a weird thing
Tony,
Quick head's up on your brake reach issue. Looks like you're using the
wrong brake up front — and that's why the brake pads are high in the slots.
Only the 650B sizes of the San Marcos (i.e. 47, 51) use the long reach
Tektro 559 (55-73mm). The 700c sizes use standard reach brakes (47-57
