I was going to offer to mail you the moka pot painting for a six month loan, but you should just get a new one from Brad. It'll probably be even better. I couldn't check out fast enough when I saw that in his store. Philip Santa Rosa, CA On Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 3:52:16 AM UTC-7,

Love, love, love the color combo! This is classy with *personality.* The Randi Jo bag with its vibrant colors is an added bonus. I have a feeling that you'll be loving this bike even more tomorrow when you ride with these bags. Cheery-ness will be surrounding you. Monday, July 29, 2019 at

Good Shafter Bridge shot. Definitely not the whole corral of Rivendells that weekend! Note for attendees: final cleanup of camp produced two abandoned/forgotten Klean Kanteens. If they’re yours and you want them back, let me know. I also lost a basket net, but that’s probably blowing down Hwy

First, I'll say "ditto" to everything Drw said. I owned an 84 expedition before purchasing my current canti-sam with double top tube. I used the expedition as a commuter for a while before taking it on a tour from Edmonton to Missoula. It performed fine fully loaded, but I found it a little

The tire clearance issue is huge if there’s a chance you’ll tires that side (like above 40.) With its ability to take Big Ben 50’s, even under sidepull brakes, and knobby Cazadero 42’s, I have used my Hillborne as a mountain bike. I feel like that bike doubles as uncompromised road and

I briefly had an 84 expedition and older Sam hillborne at the same time. Not an AHH, but I believe Grant said there are no functional differences in the two, especially when they were both sidepull. Anyway. I thought the expedition and hillborne were really similar. Hillborne was a 2 top tube
