Here's how it goes between me and my wife:
She: What was that you got on the credit card statement for 75$?
Me: Some bike stuff from Rivendell.
She: Oh, ok.
Me: The necklace I got you for your birthday sure looks nice. You really like
it?
She: Yeah, but you should have waited and got that on sale
Eat Bacon Don't Jog has some really interesting chapters on this subject (41,

I'd suggest a visit to the LBS. They can tell if it's a cup'n'cone (old
traditional style) or pressed in bearings. Have you ever replaced the
grease in the bearings? If not, after 4 years of flogging about the
mountains they are due for some attention. Cup'n'cone are basic, low tec
Yes, that Reader is where I first started stopping worrying about becoming the

continuation of that approach.

Sorry if this has been asked, answered or is staring me in the face...
Can someone tell me the standover (mid top tube or so) for a 62cm Appaloosa?
And a follow-up... I see the 62 has a recommended pbh of 91-97. Has anyone
with, say, an 88-89 pbh gone with the 62 or is that strictly 58cm territ
Great set of memories! Have you ever seen the drawings of Pat Patterson,

It all depends on the hub. And on how much you want to do it yourself, or
pay someone to do it. Wobbles are not that dangerous, just not that
aesthetic in a nice bike, even if it is beausage instead of a warranty
issue. So fix it. Might be the freehub bearing, but there ought to be rough

Patrick, it's noteworthy you should bring Mark Sisson into the conversation. I
believe Grant is an advocate of Sisson's approach. There was an extensive piece
on Mark in a Riv Reader a few years ago.

I have started reading the book, Fast After 50, by Joe Friel. It mentions

Lookin to see if anyone has a Nitto Big Front Rack in the portland area.
Research has shown that some folks have had trouble installing this rack
with the Tektro cr720's that I have, so thought that if there was one for
sale locally I might be able to check if I have the clearance for it to fit
The VO Randonneur Front Rack and the Decaleur Kit have both sold. Other
stuff still available. If interested in making an offer just PM me.
Thanks, Steve.

Justin, eveything hinges on the definition of "cardio" or "chronic cardio"
which is what these studies are about. If I understand correctly, these
studies are NOT about long and slow effort, but long and hard effort, day
in, day out. Yes, that is bad for us. However, build up your aerobic base,

I believe that the cardio warning is due to the fact that most people who
exercise, meaning more than going for a walk, do so at heart rates above
their fully aerobic heart rates, exercising in the "black hole" region that
is too high for truly aerobic and too low for truly anaerobic. That creates

It's well documented that extended cardio on a regular basis over works your
heart and can be detrimental in the long run. It's also well documented that
shorter bouts of exercise can be extremely helpful for heart, muscle and bone
health if you push as hard as you can.
Mental health is less e
Thanks for the nomenclature. As for Google, I know how to use it, but it's

6.8 miles on the folder yesterday, to the hole-in-the-wall cobbler, who
will put moccasin soles on an old pair of Timberlands, and fix the corners
of the hassock cushion that the new dog chewed holes in.

Get the bull moose boscos now.
The 54cm is still fillet brazed but the wider one is now tigged. Same with the

The filleted version looks a lot nicer to me and I am likely not alone. Meaning

According to my cardiologist 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily (e.g. a
brisk half hour walk) is all that is needed for cardiovascular fitness, and
more that that can actually be detrimental if one's criterion is longevity.

Hi all,
I am very lucky to live near my place of employment. Depending on the
