I do seem to recall, Jason, having predicted (below) very precisely one of these pics back in late December when you let it slip that the Bombadil was out at the paint shop getting freshened up a bit. I won't let it go to my head, though, as the likelihood of you posting lovely pics of a

Re: [RBW] Re: Dealing with wind

Central Nebraska here. Winds and goatheads! If I can plan a ride out into the wind and with the wind on the return after I'm warmed up, I do. Sometimes that's not possible so I just bear it. I'm 66 and ride drops level with the saddle. Aero tuck the best you can. Cross winds can be just as

[RBW] Re: FT: Brooks B17 Saddles

Oops. I took another look at my short nosed Brooks saddle and it's a "Professional S", not a "B17s." That means a shorter nose, but the width of a Brooks Pro and NO bag loops. If you want those I can include a "bolt on" bag loop adapter in the trade if you would still be interested in that

[RBW] Re: FT: Brooks B17 Saddles

I want to make sure I understand your "black special". Is that the one with the large copper rivets and the chamfered edge on the leather along the bottom edge? If so, I have a black B17S with those same characteristics that I might be willing to trade. On Monday, March 14, 2022 at 5:39:58

[RBW] FT: Brooks B17 Saddles

I've got two Brooks b17 saddles (honey regular, and black special) to trade - neither of them are broken in yet. I'm looking to ideally trade them for the short nosed versions, B17S, B67s, or B68. I'm open to trying other saddle shapes as well, or would also possibly trade for a Sackville bag.

I am also a canadian - Edmonton Alberta. For winter commuting I used to use a salsa elmariachi 29er single speed. That was 10 years ago when it'd get cold and stay cold and conditions were stable. I find the last 3 years there's been a lot of freeze thaw which produces more ice patches, sludge,

Rich, that's a nice bike and color too! Reminds me of the "tusk" of the MB-0 I had long ago. Those Dia Compe brakes have that aesthetic of Mafac (and Paul Neo Retro) cantilevers. I agree with your riding/handling impressions and of Johnny as well. My bike's finish in that color was chosen by

[RBW] Re: Am I thinking practically? Riv for all seasons

I agree with Ian from Alberta. I've used a variety of old 80s-90s non-suspension MTBs for commuting the past few years. There aren't many better bikes for commuting as long as they have mudguard and rack mounts. Components will suffer in the winter, so stick with basic stuff. Steel chainrings

[RBW] Re: Am I thinking practically? Riv for all seasons

I'm in Alberta and in the past ten years I have lived here, I have winter commuted on an 80's Rocky Mountain MTB with 26"x2" Schwalbe Ice Spikers. The bike has held up well, but all components have to be considered sacrificial as the winter is hard on the bike. I ran it as a 2x6 for the first
