Starting a new thread to discuss the Riv/country bike rally to be held in the
Twin Cities September 26-28, 2014.
I envision everybody coming in to town on Friday the 26th for a meet-and-greet
at Hiawatha Cyclery, then spending the next two days riding around the twin
cities. Hiawatha Cyclery,
Jim,
Great may I suggest http://doodle.com/?locale=en for the voting of date.

At this early point, then, Jim, a simple Thanks! for putting the idea out
there. Momentum will build, no doubt. Tom (Miami, for which you don't
want to know the forecast today)

Right,
I didn't choose it. It choose me. The furnace is or was on life support.
Fortunately our wood stove is capable of heating the whole house. Heat
pumps make sense as auxiliary, especially where you run both heat and air
conditioning, which I don't. However I'm looking at preheating
Michael,
That's a great idea to have the sequoia pass down to another generation. My
next home project will be to fully insulate our walls...back in the fifties
they figured California homes didn't need insulation lathe plaster. So
I'll do the spray in variety. The list is long but it's fun too.

Thanks for the very thorough review. I'm tempted by the Cambium, primarily
by the ability to get the seat further back than on a B-17.

The Cambium will be my next saddle for sure. Depending on how it feels, it
could possibly replace my Professional. Generally being a B-17 guy, the Pro
sits on the fence. I'm sort of waiting to see one in person before finding
one.

Cambium development to report.
Brooks sent me an e-mail suggesting I apply to test a prototype cut out
version of the Cambium. I am happy with the regular Cambium nor have I
ever used any sort of cut out saddle. As such, I don't think I would be a
very good test subject.
It is good to see

I signed up, again, for the cut-out Cambium. I doubt I'll be chosen as I
did get to test the original. However I'm thinking it may be just a bit
'springier' (a high technical saddle term) and thus mimic a more broken in
leather saddle a wee bit better. That would sell me on using it full time
on
Do you have a current snapshot of the length of the list? Grant asked for
30 people to PM Jim and commit to him that they'll buy a $1200 frameset.
Do you have 30, Jim? Do you have 10? Where does this stand right now?

Thanks Chris for the write up.
I'll add my two cents.
My buddy Jensen was around from NYC and wanted to get a ride going.
I knew he was either on his road bike or track bike but he was down for
anything.
Wrong idea if you tell me that. I took him on the most roadieish ride I
could have think

That's a really good package deal.Someone would be off to a great start
there.
I have that same stand; it's the 'standard'. There are a couple that
might nicer, but at a far greater cost... there are some that are less
expensive, but not as good.
Just called...they said no more 50cm Betty Foys. Shame, shame!

I made mine using X-PAC from rockywoods.com, 1/4 closed cell foam from eBay,
and cheap remnant ripstop from Joann's. 3 wide, no flare at front. The ripstop
formed a liner around the inner perimeter, and the foam was sandwiched in
between. The foam is important as it keeps things from rattling

little funny with hetres and no fenders I think. I used a PBP crown which
is about 62 mm wide where the tire max width is.

Captain Conway here in Chicago. I'm definitely interested in a late summer

would be interested in making the drive out there. It would definitely beat

It works perfectly. In friction, it handles 7 and 8 speeds just fine also.
