Hey Justin, I just did some camping in Marin last weekend and this is what I brought: Cookware: Alcohol stove. Made from a 12oz Hiniekin keg can. Quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever made. 2 pots. Nesting snow peak ti. Used one for water and the other for food. I can use the larger one

[RBW] WTT/WTB 61cm Homer Hilsen

Curious if anyone has a 61cm Homer that they might want to trade for a 58cm double top tube Sam? They are the same effective top tube... It obviously wouldn't be an even trade but we could figure out details etc later Might make sense for someone that wants a stiffer all-rounder/camping

Looks great! I was thinking of picking one of those up for my lady's bike. Is it possible to trim the stays down? Looks like it's just a rubber or plastic cap on there that you could just take off, trim the stay and slip it back on? Is that the case? On Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 3:45:33

I like them. I've ridden the bullmoose version that came on my Clementine for over a year on my daily commute, minus days when I or the bicycle was out of service. I bought a regular Bosco for my tandem. For me, except for brief forays to the front of the bar, they are essentially one position,

Joe, the pedals that came on my Appaloosa are known as VP Push-N2 pedals. I like them a lot and so bought 2 more pairs for $29 each on Amazon. They are tough and smooth and seem serviceable. I say they seem serviceable because I haven't had to do anything to the originals other than tighten the

I had them on my 52 Clementine; I didn't hate them, bit they do come back a lot. A long stem is a necessity. I was using a 100mm Technomic and coulda gone a bit more. In the end I changed over to a vintage BMX cruiser bar that I really dig. If I would have stayed with the Bosco I probably

Anton, That looks like a very nice solution. I like it. The only issue I would have is that you're still putting your fingers into a tight space to make the connections, though not nearly as tight as when putting the 4.8mm female connectors on the male connectors embedded in the axle. So

Very tall, lots of reach-back. It's almost two bars in one 'cause the upright position is way back, then there's a much-further-forward position similar to riding hoods on a dropbar. The caveat everyone mentions is you need a seriously long toptube for this bar to work. I had one on a 45cm
