Probably not but it would make a great commercial.

There's always more to a story !It seems to me it will be more of

and who knows maybe they'll go back to that mostly with stores just in
certain high demand areas.

Hi Nick,
Sorry to hear of your back issues. I had back issues in my 30’s as well. No
disc issues, but I would throw out my back every year or two and end up on the
couch for a day or three. I also have had inflammation issues my whole life.
The last 2 years have been the best back and inflammati

Way to go Ryan! Send pictures when she is built! I bought a 58cm Atlantis
frame next month to send for some S&S treatment. Glad someone picked this
one up. It is for sure a lifetime bike!

I'm 37 with a history of back problems. Two years ago I had a flair up with

No regrets here, just the opposite. Thanks
Like many of the previous responses, I also use Strava. It works quite well for
my needs - tracking mileage and sharing ride experiences with friends (although
my primary use is to track mileage). I began using it in June of 2013 and I’m
coming up on 47,000 miles. I primarily use my iPhone to re
Since I care more about the route than the stats, I find ridewithgps to be
much more useful for navigating and research. I hate that strava forces
you to sign in just to see someone's route, and the map views are pretty
pathetic.

For those of you whole run centerpulls or cantilevers, do you have problems
with the rear brake cable and/or straddle cable wearing into saddle bags
that rest agains them?
It seems to me that a loaded Saddle Sack without a rear rack would
naturally press against the rear brake cable at or below
Depending on the height of your seat, the bag would have to hang pretty low to
be in contact with the exposed part of the cable. Even then, I would think it
might make a mark but wouldn’t damage the bag. There’s not enough movement in
the cable to do much harm.

If it wasn't for Riv and the Riv paradigm, I wouldn't be riding much. I've
given up my dreams of riding light and fast bikes for being comfortable all
day in almost all situations. And they do that for sure.

With large bags there is a good chance that it will rub the brake cable.
However, maybe if it is large enough to rest on a rear rack it may not. I
don't have experience with really large bags. I have a Sackville Small,

Speaking of Fabio's chest, has anyone used both the largest Saddlesack and

I strap “puffy bags of this and that” atop the saddlesack, usually in a

I've done that too, with all sorts of bags, but it's too inconvenient (for
me, personally) -- I want a carrier that I can shove things in, cover up,
and click or strap closed. And I'll bet that the family sized 2 gallon bag
of Cheez Doodles won't take kindly to being cinched down on top of the bag.
The Rambouillet and CycleTote have sold.
I appreciate all the interest!

Hi Andi, I saw your call for bike photos on the RBW list. I can't post

I’m happy to submit some photos, too. Just let me know how and wouldn’t mind

I think it depends on a variety of things including the rims you intend to
use and various other things related to where and how you ride. I purchased
a non-canti 650b Sam Hillborne in Spring 2017 and ride in Vancouver, BC. We
