When I was climbing on unpaved bumpy road, I had to pedal in half-rising
posture.
Otherwise, my body bumping up down with my bike made me go much slower.

Please help me out of my ignorance. What objective characteristics distinguish
a true mountain bike from other types of bikes?

Nice! Hey, I just paid $20 for NOS gum brake hoods for a project, so I can
appreciate paying a little extra for rare stuff.

It always amazes me how much resilience people show when faced with
difficult conditions. During my research on the René Herse story, I was
surprised to learn that cycling and even the building of high-end bicycles
continued during the German occupation of France during the war. Recently,

Yes, Takashi, rough climbs standing can be tricky. Do enough of them (or a
few long ones) and there is a rhythm you develop when standing that makes
it flow much smoother, with the bike simply bouncing, rolling up and down

Amtrak station. Nice little shop--with a pedal-powered barista cart--and very
good coffee. To top it all off, they give away coffee *free* every Friday, so I

For that mountain road full of fist-sized rocks, 60 mm + 700C tires run at
sub 20 psi (depending on the rider's weight) are wonderful. It's amazing
how a 60mm+ 622 Big Apple -- IME, the 29ers are smoother than the 26ers at

I hadn't really thought about bicycles as a tool for resistance in today's
society. That may explain why some drivers are so enraged by cyclists on
the road!

Anyone can cobble together a definition, but judging by the history of the
term and the bikes it covers, a mountain bike proper is something optimized
for rough, unpaved terrain at the expense of performance on pavement and at
the expense, if need be, of luggage capacity. For me, this means a

Hi Phil -
The paint on the Bob Jackson is the Big O... as in original.
I thought about having it repainted a couple years ago, but (as Bob Freeman
says), it's only original once.
BTW - it's cold, isn't it? Even here in Nor Cal. Just got back from a few
hours in the hills, still chilled to
