Hillborne's the only bike I've ever sold, and it pains me so terribly awful
to think of it. It's in a good place though... Enjoy them Hillybornes!

Heartfelt agreement on the Hillborne sentiment. It's the only bike I've
owned in my life that I am certain I will never want to sell, and I've
owned 40+ bikes (5 in current stable)!

It is still around, and is still an utterly perfect bicycle. It lives up
in Arnold for now, and so it gets infrequent but high-value miles. I

I recently acquired a San Marcos and have been debating selling the

better fit for me than the 61 Roadini (I needed a 59 Roadini!). That being
said, it is such a great bike and
Bill,
Haven't seen your Hillborne in a long time. It's looking good.

I like Obenauf's but Proofide will do, too. Beyond that there isn't a whole
lot of sprucing up you can do besides ride. Eventually some of the spots
will even out as you wear the saddle more; all Brooks saddles keep changing
color until they're pretty much a dark brown. If it fits and works that
nagano looks stunning all year 'round.
beautiful summers and winters are blessed with some of the best snow on the
planet. can't wait to get back out there

I’d love to see the setup too!
I’ve been meaning to buy a Tiny Ten Tenkara Rod to throw into my handlebar bag.
Not sure how I’d feel riding with a full rod on my bike.

Hi -
I have an older brooks b17 with water/sweat stains. Was hoping to spruce it
up. Anyone have any luck with this? And lastly, what's the preferred
product for keeping these moisturized? Proofide or something else?
Thanks,

IME, my most confidence inspiring bikes on fast downhills have all had
longish chainstays (43-45cm) same as the Roadinis. I've not ridden a
Roadini, but my Ram had that great confidence inspiring handling around
curves. My Quickbeam is similar.

The lateral bracing members or the corroded rebar and spalled concrete?
That's actually not great looking and might be worth letting the local
Department of Transportation know (a little prod from the public about this
kind of stuff can sometimes trigger a quick repair, but often times won't).

Yes, you must build your Platybee in solidarity with Platypus owners
country-wide. I think we need a new thread when the Platypuses land, and it
should be titled, Platypuses on Parade.
Yes, you are king of the Hillibikes. And your collection is comprised of the
most colorful and fun bicycles. T
Thanks, all; will take a closer look at the MKS and the T8000, but expect
they'll be too similar in feel to the M324 and A530. I may just switch to
clips and straps; this bike is multiply geared so I oughtn't to find myself
pulling out of the straps when straining up a hill as I seem to do often

Thanks Melanie! Will DM so we can chat off thread. Bars are a bit narrower
than I was hoping but everything else looks great.

Shimano PD - T8000. They have pins on the flat side, built in reflectors,
wide platform, and are weighted so they rotated to vertical when you take
your foot off. Loved mine but the bike I had them on had too low of a
bottom bracket and I got pedal strikes on aggressive rides. Replaced with

Sounds like an interesting hack. Photos of your setup would be cool. As
would some kind of name and locale attached to your post. At least on the
(new) web interface, you only show up as an email address.
