[RBW] Re: Roadeo - Just a photo

One time when re-assembling my 58 cm Atlantis after a tour, I weighed it without racks & it was 26 lbs. Standard Rivendell build, and probably 35 mm tires at the time. Nowadays with 40 mm tires, moderate rackage and the Acorn Boxy Rando bag it's gotta be over 30 lbs. When I bought it, it was

Darn good weight for a weight-no-issue bike in that size. And while I usually don't like black chainrings, those look very elegant on that frame. On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 5:58 PM, Kelly wrote: > Roadeo .. I haven't weighed the Ram empty.. with bottles full of water, > tube, tools and dyne syste

Thanks, all, for the nice comments. I've finished wrapping the bars. No twine for the moment. Now, I love twine. I have twined before and will twine again. I twined and shellacked the wrapped kickstand. But I'm not yet sold on the 46 cm Noodles, so I think of the present configuration as a tria

I'm looking forward to the new "roll on" service for the long-distance routes. The only negative is, as far as I know, they still are only allowing the bikes to get on and off at stations with baggage service. I wish they will open this option up for ALL stations. Hopefully this will happen at s

I don't need to start covering my knees until the temps descend to about 50 F but I have various weights of knickers, tights, and a pair of MUSA long cycling pants to mix and match as needed. Why not a good pair of thick tights with nylon wind-stop panels? Or a thick pair of cycling knickers? Bell
