I LOVED them on my Joe Appaloosa. If I needed to buy these new, I’d get them from Riv to support them during these lean times. On Friday, February 18, 2022 at 2:45:45 PM UTC-5 mcgr...@gmail.com wrote: > Even though I'm going to give my Ron's Ortho bars another shot on my Hunq > with a longe

Lean times allover could free up my choco-mooses. They're great on my Clem, but it's currently wearing moosey-mooses. What say $180, pickupable in North Brooklyn or the UWS, or anywhere in between (midway of the GW?) -Kai On Friday, February 18, 2022 at 2:45:45 PM UTC-5 mcgr...@gmail.com wrote:

If I had not just finished building up my first Rivendell, an Appaloosa, I would be all over this. The Hunqapillar is a really cool bike, and may just have the coolest head badge ever. Good luck with the sale! On Friday, February 18, 2022 at 6:24:24 PM UTC-6 Applegate wrote: > [image: IMG_8197.

Hello Riv folks, Probably a long shot but I am on the look out for Sunxcd chainrings. I have 48s, 30s, and 34s, but the 46, 44, and 28 tooth ring supply appears to be drying up. If anyone has any they are not using and are willing to part with, let me know. Best, Robert Pennington, NJ -- You rece

Yeah, maybe too good a deal. It was sold before I could make the call. Someone here snag it? I had a 64 QB a while back, but it always felt just a little too tall for me. Fun bike though. Marty On Friday, February 18, 2022 at 9:38:45 PM UTC-5 Jay Lonner wrote: > That QB is a good deal! I’ve b

Hopping on the Cross Marin Bicycle trail at Samuel P Taylor State Park is fun. You can ride a few miles along the stream and read about some of the history of the area. Enjoy, Curtis On Sat, Feb 19, 2022, 11:40 AM wrote: > Short notice but I am looking to take the family riding in the Point R

Or maybe this one: Bolinas Ridge Trail. I am not an off roader but ride past the entrance on my road bike all the time. Not sure degree of difficulty...and it is really close to the northern end of the one that goes through SP Taylor: https://www.nps.gov/thingstodo/hike-the-bolinas-ridge-trail.

If you want to view the coast, a ride from Laguna Trailhead on the West side of the peninsula to Coast campground is nice and flat, with some gorgeous views and a great spot for a picnic while fully avoiding cars: A bit more of a drive though... Collin in Sactown On Saturday, February 19, 2022

[RBW] Re: "Riding-a-bicycle Zen"

Hello all, I agree Zen can be in anything we do. For me it is about connecting with myself in the activity, or inactivity. Fixed gear cycling on road and dirt, especially very early or late in the dark is excellent. I also really connect by single speed mountain biking on flowy singletrack. Remo

Yeah I'm a handlebar fiend. The first bar I became obsessed with was the Albatross with bar-end shifters. Truly a perfect cockpit. The second handlebar obsession was the Nitto B135 in the 45cm flavor... but then I discovered my preference for shorter reach, which led me to my third and maybe-la

[RBW] Re: "Riding-a-bicycle Zen"

If we can see our way to elevating bicycle riding to an art form (probably not a stretch for many here), then it is plausible that we can have some fun with a way of thinking traditionally applied in Japanese culture to many of the arts: that the goal seems to be to lose the distinction between
