They have reflectors, too, which are so useful for commuting at night.
Just wish they had a silver colored spindle.

Hey Brad - no, no food co-op for me...haven't actually seen another Cheviot

if I had my way I'd get mine sand-blasted and let it get a little rusty to
potentially deter thieves (and it looks beautiful, I think)

I agree on your compression remarks
On UTS and Ys, I was only pointing out heat treatment affects both the UTS
and the Ys. So when vendors show increased UTS due to either heat
treatment or a slight change in alloying, or both, the UTS and Ys increase.
I think the real question is how str

I suggest it is the UTS, the stress where it breaks. TT Versus has a UTS
of 110,000 psi (1ksi = 1,000 psi).

Agreed except they only make them in black. I wanted the honey colored

Hi John,
Yield strength and UTS is typically fixed in material. If I am
understanding what you have written so far, RBW from a liability standpoint
would design bicycle frames to not exceed 107 ksi. Any stress past this
point would result in a deformed frame although capacity is still there.
Also
Interesting discussion on a topic I know nothing about. My 84 Trek with
Reynolds 501 ATB tubes has a sticker that says "120,000 PSI Strength"
How is that interpreted? Is that enough information to even know
anything about it's strength?
On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 5:29:08 PM

I agree, the yield stress reflects the max for design, you want to keep the
stress in the elastic region. Typically Yield increases proportionally as
UTS increases, e.g., a Columbus Niobium tube has a UTS = 152 to 167 ksi
with a Yield = 107 ksi. The Columbus has a 55% higher yield and 53

Absolutely true, but Ryan probably should've been harsher on those photos.
They're really really really bad (specifically that overall shot). And if

I saw a mechanic with a long beard at my local LBS, which is a Trek touring,
roadie carbon, belt driven, and electric bikes type place. But they are very

Coincidentally, the hardly too-serious (more hilarious) TeamDreamCyclinTeam
launches a new selection of apparel, both cycling performance specific and
casual today (9/19 at 12:00pm PST). Ordering is easy though the website but
