Hey Eric, He wants a set badly. But he does not do the Google forums, so I offered to put it out there for him. I found a set NOS for $180 and used for $160, which I thought was an OK price, but not sure he took advantage. I hope you are well and getting some riding in. Paul On Thursday,

Hello All, The pin and shackle fell off my Brooks B17 saddle recently. The saddle was purchased from Rivendell and is less than 3 years old. I asked Riv for guidance but have not heard back from them. Has anyone in the group experienced this problem? Any guidance appreciated. Thank you, Lyman

Beacons were on the shortlist of bars I was considering for my Ritchey Ascent due to their flare and shallow drops, but I ended up with Ritchey Corralitos bars instead. I absolutely love the Corralitos bars and can't imagine swapping them out for anything else aside from maybe the new Redshift

I don't have any for sale but I can confirm they are worth the $$. Beautiful component with a satisfying click in index mode and if your bike has a light-ish downtube you can even hear the 'ping' resonate the frame a little bit. At least that's what I think I'm hearing on my waterford homer I

Hi, I bought a NOS set from Alex Cycles in Japan a couple years ago. Paid $90. The set they replaced was installed in 2002 and were a bit loose. So, they last about 20-years. I wish I had the matching derailleur. > On Apr 11, 2024, at 7:50 AM, John Dewey wrote: > > Who among us has used

I used to live in Fort Lee, and it was the prospect of commuting across the GWB down to Chelsea and back each day that got me into cycling. We moved to Utah mid-pandemic and went back to NYC for the first time last week. I rented a road bike from Bicycle Habitat and did the classic Bear
