Had no luck selling it so far. I am willing to trade for 64cm Quickbeam. I had a 62cm Quickbeam that I sold two years ago because it was a tad too small. I want to go back to singlespeed/fixed. For a trade of frame only, it would be plus cash. If built up, may be plus cash depending

I let myself get really out of shape ( weak legs, weight gain ). I have been riding my Hampsten Ti bike to try to compensate, to no avail. Well today, I rode the Roadeo. It felt like I had returned home. I really slacked off in 2013, rode easily and gained weight. Riding with with my club

I can see cyclists having qualms about e-bikes operated with a throttle like a motorcycle, but the pedal-assist variety is very nice. I recently picked up a no-name (read, Chinese) electric-assist folder off Craigslist just to see what it's all about, and I love it. I live at the top of a

I rode with the SF Randonneurs today, the 117k brevet from Golden Gate Bridge to Point Reyes Station, and back. Same route as I did with them last June, but so much cooler this time, which - no surprise? - made the hills seem quite a bit easier. RBW was well represented, with two Sam

Anyone know the story behind the shift from cantilevers to side pulls on the Sam? I have a side-pull Sam now and look at the canti-posts on older Sams with envy. Thanks, as always. Apologies if this is an old topic- I gave a cursory search and couldn't find a previous post matching the topic.

Hi Cecily. I was recently diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis and needed help to continue commuting daily to work. So, I converted my Surly LHT to a Bionx pedalelec system. I also ride a Riv / Kellogg Rambouillet and specially chose the LHT for the conversion because the Bionx system adds 18

Looks like you had some capital riding there! Looks like a Bleri good time. I use yahoo and google maps to find my routes. I wouldn't trust GPS to direct me on a ride as GPS behaves wierd in a car, much less in a high-cost situation like being on a bike. Can you imagine going 25 miles off route

Pure guesswork, but I'd say 1) Sidepulls are less fiddly to set up and adjust for the average user B) Riv had a big hand in Tektro's bringing long reach dual pivots to the market, so they probably have something of a vested interest in specing them far and wide All pure conjecture, opinions
