Thanks to Norman I had a great time reading the BQ mags. Time to pass them
along to another bunch member. PM me and I’ll let you know if you are first in
line. 13 content-packed issues. I’ll cover shipping to any US address. The
catch is you have to pass them along when you are done reading. OK?
Thanks for sharing the Holland bikes link, is seen these frame mount saddles
for kids old enough to hang on on a couple local bikes and wondered where I
could pick one up.

Lon,
You say you've been dreaming of a Redwood, but you're selling its first
cousin, the Rambouillet! The Redwood was a tall-sizes only, slightly
cheaper, slightly less fancy version of the bike you already own -- from
the 2003 Riv catalog: ""The Romulus and Redwood are complete road bikes

I ended up finding a used pair of Velo Orange Zeppelin 52mm fenders. I

The fanciness of the Rambouillet intimidates me, to be honest. My other

I have to agree with the others: the Ram is a wonderful bike and I'd not
trade one for a Redwood. You can always collect a bit of beausage if the
quality of the paint and lugs intimidates you.

The Compass ELs do sound like a good option, and I really don't want to
have to give up these brakes and buy new wheels. How much Orange Seal would
be recommended? I'm guessing around one ounce per tube?

Roadini specs from RBW:
Roadini:
“0.9 x 0.7 TT and the length is cut from the butt (0.9) end. So you get the
0.9 up at the front, where top tubes buckle. The 0.7 is on the thick side
for a belly (though it's the same as old Columbus SP, which was 1.0 x 0.7 x
1.0--as a historical reference).
Can anyone help facilitate?

A bit of strategically placed black tape here and there plus a sticker or

I've had two of each. I agree completely with Max Beach's assessment,
especially this: "Roadeo is a bit lighter, feels a bit more sprightly on
the steep climbs. But just a bit. They are both smooth as butter and very
comfortable."

Hey Ethan!
I'm really liking your Clem! I'm wondering, which handlebar bag are you
using? It looks to be just the right size ... not too big, not too small.
And the honey-colored Brooks saddle ... well ... I'm just sayin', it looks
super *handsome *(not pretty ... ugh). I have a honey Brook
Julian, could you share which tires and fenders you're using, and the
sizes? I don't think I've seen a Clem so dressed up ... it cleans up
nicely...must be the rare "Esquire" package :)

Mr. Tom,
What a fantastic letter - I can’t wait to read this to Ethan. Your points about
using the bike without worry of beausage are spot on and we will adopt that
mindset! The Clem truly is “A Tough Bike To Love.” Congrats on your 2nd Clem,
and may there be a Clem L in your wife’s near future!
To clarify the saddle situation, it's already been Obenaufed a few times and
ridden a while by me. I imagine it's still pretty stiff for Ethan's weight, but
it'll break in quickly at the rate he's riding.
