When I sometimes wonder if I'm TOO attached to my bicycle object, I think
similar thoughts. And then I add that it helps the experience if the
object is pretty.

Has anyone straightened the tang on a mark's rack and mounted it under the
crown instead of over the brake. This would put it closer to the fender
and facilitate using one of the adjustment screw holes to attach to the
front fender. How did it go?

Quite a powerful way to assess things, though with a more generous approach
than want v. need. I can't see a single thing in our home that is not
experiential. IT all has use and we've given away everything that doesn't.
Life is much simpler that way.

Aye, Patrick, that sort of pipe.
I was delighted to find organic whole leaf Virginia tobacco (cured three
years) finally available after being relegated to cigars for about a year
as that was the only organic I could find. Wow is that wonderful stuff.

If you don't mind spending time spreading the fender (spreading the width),
which decreases the radius of the fender curve, it can work out very well.
I spread 700c fenders for 650B with a little bit of effort, so a 650B to
26 jump would be similar.
The fender line came out great. Here's my

Rides like this are less about the bike or ride and more about what they make
possible.
'Tis the crux of the post. These are the best rides. I travel with a Bike

I've smoked a pipe, but not in many years. Does the tobacco go stale if you
keep it around for months? I'm intrigued by the idea of whole leaf organic, as

Pipe tobacco will last a long time. Even years if in an air tight
container. They even make these little moisture tabs you can stick to the
lid. I agree, smoking a pipe is one of life's simple pleasures.
Contemplative. I'll smoke mine maybe once a month. There are bike rides and
then there are
Saddle height, or slightly above. Then I actually USE the drops more often.
