[RBW] Re: Roadini

Dear Mark, Grant innovated/popularized the NORBA MTB geometry. His MTB geometry features relatively short chainstays, and steeper-than-Excelsior angles, and they were distinct from the other mass-produced offerings of the 1980's, which copied the Repack bikes until they copied Grant. His roa

I ask too many questions. Grant and Co. help me anyway. My LBS doesn’t do that. Nowhere else I’ve been for bike stuff does that. So I buy from them whenever I can (or from the secondary market here, which indirectly supports them, I think, but that’s a different kettle of wax. Grin.). On my Qui

Michael, I use Snap-On torque wrenches exclusively for work, and as such I ended up with a set of four that I can also use on my bikes. When I'm flying down hills in excess of 30mph, I like to know that everything on my bikes has been torqued properly. Peace of mind is worth the money in my o

Yes I would hope to trade the bike if possible but a sale would work well too. I typically post from a Chromebook at work without access to my photos of the Jones. I am more than happy to email anyone with detailed photos. I definitely appreciate the fairness of the group regarding posting.

I just rode the Katy from Sedalia to St. Charlles a couple of weeks ago. The article is pretty accurate and the trail is the best trail experience I have had. I was rolling about 50-60 miles a day and traveling fully loaded with camping gear. My blog post is here.
