Anyone have one of those Rivendell Rosco Baby frames (or bikes) that their kid has outgrown, or that they're otherwise willing to part with? I snoozed on it at the time, but now that our kid is one year old I'm itchin' to take him out on bike rides. What better way to get a start with bikes than o

Joe, this is how I ended up with a SECOND Riv mixte. I had the same rack as you on my raspberry bike, but it limited how much I could carry. So…I got another whole Platypus! Now that one does hauling duty and the raspberry one races around the countryside on club rides! Glad you’re getting goo

Yes indeed. I was committed to the (supposedly lighter but not really) bag support rack, but I keep running into situations where I could use more room for stuff than I can fit between rack-top and saddle in that medium Saddlesack. I need a pannier or two!* *This qualifies as a WTB. If one of y

Great to see that bike out and putting in work! I am probably going to end up with a 32R on the Hillborne and 33R on the Bombadil; the usefulness of a pannier rack just can't be beat. On Saturday, 17 September 2022 at 10:58:50 UTC-7 Joe Bernard wrote: > Definitely needs streamers! 🥳🎉🎊 > > On
