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:

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,

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
