Willet, Nice bike. Pretty sure we have chatted before regarding Deluxe Bikes in Lincoln, NE. That is where I got my MB-0(Zip). Got word of that frameset from a shop manager I worked under. Was deciding on either a Trek something or another, probably 930 complete or the Zip. The discount price

I am a big fan of what you are trying to do. It works great when it is mainly flat like you describe. Not finding the right gears when the winds start dragging you is just that a drag. I have Joe running 48/34 x 12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25-27 (10 Speed) on 700 x 38, and it works great, indexed

When I have a lot of gear choices, I like very close ratios on the middle or cruising range, with much less-considered tailwind and downhill gears and ditto climbing gears. On my sole derailleur bike* I use a 42/28 X 13-25 10 speed and I'll probably one day swap the 28 for a 26 o 24, and the low

Jay: I'm sorry to hear about your near misses. I've had my share and they leave a "sour taste in your mouth" -- a kind of lingering depressed or dark feeling that is -- in my case at least -- even stronger than the inevitable lingering residual fear. Were these occasions at night? I try to err on
