When I lived in the East Bay of SF Bay Area, a popular route for the racey
crowd was along Mt Diablo Blvd in Lafayette. I would take my tricked out
folding Peugeot coaster brake 20-inch bike with a plastic white basket with
appropriate plastic flower to Ace Hardware. I changed every part on the

Yes, I'm (mostly)* being facetious cuz I know there's no way she's going to
ride
I’m definitely in for at least one.
I’m also curious about the V-brakes. The feature of being able to open far
enough to clear a fat tire has me sold.

Matt,
I sent you a private message but there's a chance it's gone to spam as
nobody ever replied to my private messages!
Anyway, let me know if you do or don't receive it.

I would imagine and hope that the point of Leah riding with her group is
for Leah to enjoy herself riding her bike in the company of others ...
Just ride. :)

Isn't the point of Leah riding with her group to show people you don't need
a carbon bike like everyone else, don't need to wear the same clothing as
everyone else, or even ride like everyone else ? Keeping pace can be in an
infinite variety of ways :) Many cyclists have never seen such a bike
Oh, and I do want a dynamo setup so I don't have to remember to charge my
lights. I plan to put an order in with Rich on Monday. Does anyone have a
recommendation for front and rear lights?

I appreciated all of the feedback. I think I will start by commuting once a
week as has been suggested and go from there. I'll need a rack and I think
the Rivendell Shiny Rear Rack would be great, when it's back in stock. I
already have a Sackville Backabike Pannier to use which should hold all

I'd love to see a report on how you found the process once you've done it.

No, it was sold and taken apart to be used as part of a dam. Several other
houses may have been sold, taken apart and the materials reused in Mineral
Point. Part of Sinnipee may be underwater, as river levels are higher as a
result of dams downstream. Thanks for the interest.

On Saturday,
I had some bit of hope that these would use an consistent gear progression
of 15-17-20-24 on the 13-34, but no . S-Works does the overly big 15-18
jump along with the 18-21-24 which is unnecessarily close. I often wonder
of anyone who designs these actually rides it. IRD does some weird cog

In 2022, pretty cool to see 7-speed cassettes sell out in less than 12
hours. But, if you missed out, this is a PSA that Soma has them in stock
still, though they don’t include the spacers like Riv did.

Thanks Laing.
I'm glad to know about this tool.
I'm wondering about the pros and cons of changing a 26.8 or perhaps 26.6 which
most of my bike are to a 27.2.
Well, I can think of several pros...I just wouldn't want to mess the seat tube
up if there are cons.

+1. Sell your Platypus, Leah. It's not enough. You need a tricked-out
Roadeo with aero wheels and 6" drop between saddle and bar and a 56 X 11
top gear.
I recall the pleasant feeling of riding my mountain bike long ago, with
those horrible 1990s tires that were the equivalent on pavement of riding

Hi Roberta! Can you put your finger on how the Platy ride differs from the
Appaloosa? That is, if you can remember your old Appaloosa days.
