Given my five mile bog slog home in mud of varying flavors and textures (ask me
how I know) that made the downhill feel like steeper uphill than the uphill
(still frozen) in the morning, I love seeing others take on muck, slop, ooze,
splat, peanut butter, et al. Someday I’ll brush it off and

Check the newest Gus sample, and a BONKERS Riv Custom. Did you know you could
order a mostly filleted sloping-toptube custom? Me, neither!

That crank is superior and I've also recently developed a new (renewed?) desire
for the suntour, but you gotta leave some special parts on the wife's bikes.
And anyway, you have it all wrong, this is clearly about you ALSO having some
slightly more beautiful vintage cranks.

I can convince you that the Shimano crankset is superior and then convince you
that swapping would be an upgrade to your wife’s bike. Then you’ll get the
cranks you want and have a convincing story that it’s for her benefit.

I wouldn’t. You think she doesn’t care or wouldn’t notice. But something will
be different, or something won’t work right. And then you’ll have to explain
why you fiddled with her bike for no good reason. Don’t ask me how I know.
Just don’t do it.

I'm searching for the maker of this bag, and not having any luck. I'd be

Just want to try the shorter crank arms (currently have 175mm on Sugino XD600
triple 26-36-46t) but would buy a whole crankset if that’s what you’ve got.
If it’s a crankset you’ve got, I’d be particularly interested in one with a 24t
low chainring and/or 48t high chainring.

Why not just admire that crankset from afar? no harm in that. That's how

anyway since it's too small.

Which is why you're out there on the mean streets, come rain or shine,

You wouldn’t dare touch one spike of MY Betty Foy! Retribution would be sure
and swift if my husband stole my cranks! Ok, I’m laughing, this is pretty funny
because I do obnoxious stuff to my husband’s Clem all the time. Noticeable
stuff. Annoying stuff. Embarrassing stuff. See what you can get
It comes down to function. Are the cranks the same length? Same Q factor?
Does the front derailer on both bikes work with both cranks? If function it
is all the same then you have to decide if you want your wonderful wife to
ride a bike that could now be less than as pretty as it was. I mean,
You still wouldn't need to remove them from the bar if they were non aero
levers. You would however need to disconnect the cable and housing.

Beautiful. But also very sad, in that we've let a network of hundreds of
smaller rail lines that once formed an efficient transportation system system
fall into ruin. We have a stretch of one here in Beacon that connects to the

It depends on the chainrings. If swapping means you are putting larger
rings on her bike... then it's probably a bad idea. My guess is the 80s
crank has bigger rings...

You’re married and thus one flesh. One flesh = no secrets, always act in union.
Love is simple. Simple is hard. Hard requires humility. Humility turns a

Thanks Sean. That’s what I was thinking. I have some Super C Rear bags coming.
Wish the front bags were in between the size they are, and the large. Very nice
looking bags. They would be great for overnight trips and the like.

Swap em. If you do the maintenance, why not. Same with my wife, I move
things around all the time. If she doesn't like it, I move it to her
liking unless I have a good justification mechanically.

They're both '80s cranks and it sounds like she couldn't care less which one
has her pedals attached. Get to work!

This is most definitely ethical. i swap parts on my wife's bike all the
time and never tell her and she's never noticed. I think its all fair game
if i'm solely responsible for all of her bike upgrades and maintenance.

Dave, indeed 'never used' was referring to the seat post only.
Back story: I attached a kid trailer to the seat post that came with the

The ethical question is not whether one may swap out the cranks between the
2 bikes, the ethical question is whether you are going to ask your wife's
permission to do so and accept her decision. Pretty simple, it seems to me.

Yes, definitely ethical. But best to do the swap at night, under cover of

Is it truly her bike (i.e. does she experience the pride-of-ownership,
turn her own wrench, change her flats etc.) - does she care?
Or - if YOU see yourself as the familial "Caretaker to the Bikes",
does it matter to **YOU** that your wife has a bike nicer than your
own?

Serious issue here and I need guidance.
My wife’s Betty Foy has a beautiful Suntour XC crank on it. My Saluki has a
beautiful but more industrial 80s Shimano crank on it.
Is it ethical to pillage her Foy for the crank?

Hi John,
The outside front pockets can easily fit a wallet. phone, keys. However, I
wouldn't recommend storing those things in such a vulnerable place (low to
the ground, near the wheel, kind of out of line of sight - might miss if
things pop out).
The front panniers are great but the base is

Dave,
The OP says the seatpost is new, never used, but the frame was built up
(presumably with a different post), ridden about 200 miles, and then
disassembled.
As the sale is for a frame with a few parts, this scenario is not too hard
to imagine.
