Well there were many admirers of the All Rounder at the swap meet this
weekend but no takers. If anyone here is interested in the bike and can
help me figure out how to ship, I am willing. It is a nicely setup bike in
great shape completely ready for commuting or multi-surface adventure
rides.
The wheel is sold with pending payment.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the link Joe. I’m going to try the twine thing soon. Deacon Patrick,
it’s hard to see how you did the wrap but the photos of your excursion are
awesome. Is that an Albastache bar?

First - I thought you’d passed on the ENO? If you’d still like to wait and see,

There's a bar-wrapping video from Mark somewhere on the Riv site. He wraps to
the lever, cuts, then starts a new wrap on the other side. This eliminates the

Terrain, leg strength, and gear options need not stop us! In light of all the

Lowest Common Gear is the one gear every bike comes with. Even without a bike,
