The Hetere / Velocity thread seems to have veered toward a discussion of

I ride the Synergy rim with Pari-Moto tires. It is true that they mount
pretty loosely and it is hard to get them perfectly centered but I have

It's interesting that you bring up tandems. Tandems do have their own

Both have silver SKS fenders, though. And silver cranks and racks.

What's the best soap to use it with?
I don't worry about haircuts -- 7 years since I saw a barber, so
liberating! -- but I do shave.

Please send along any reasonable offers. I'm not sure of its market value,
but it deserves to be ridden and enjoyed. It's almost mint, and has some
seriously high-end (700c conversions) wheels, which have very few miles on
them.
It's a 24-inch frame, c to c.

I've been using a brush for years and years. Since I was a teenager, I
think. I got two brushes at a garage sale - one is stiff and terrible, and
flips soap at the mirror while making a latherless mess. The other is soft
and fantastic, creating lots of bubbly shaving foam with very little work.
And, reading the previous Badger and Brush lathering tutorial, my technique
is ALL wrong. Ha! Way too much water.
I'll pay some attention to it this week.
Reminds me of espresso forums. There's an easy Master's Thesis in
Psychology right there.
