I was happy to read Grant's post, tho for selfish reasons! Maybe with a lack of Sams I'll be able to sell mine for a little bit more than I could now. And then I could justify buying a AHH! Why do I want an AHH when I have a SH? *sigh* Maybe for the same reason Cecily was tempted to go for a Sa

I need more setback on my Sam! I keep thinking that I'll swap out my Albas for drops to see if that solves my setback problem, but I like riding with the Albas too much to monkey around. Perhaps you bought the fanciest of seatposts thinking you needed a lot of setback and it turned out you didn

The first quarter mile is the worst part of that ride! Well, except for crossing the bridge from the Maryhill area to Biggs, OR. Looks like you found some nice places to ride, but when you go back, do consider riding Dalles Mountain Road, and Old Moody Road. They're fantastic dirt climbs. Rout

At the risk of inciting a religious war, I figured some folks might want to know that Campagnolo is coming out with some updated triples, (slightly) wider 10 speed cassette (12-30: 12-13-14-15-17-19-21-24-27-30), and a long cage derailleur. http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/05/15/campagnolo-intros-523

This might be an unpopular opinion but in my experience wheel weight, and where in the wheel the weight is, can make a difference. Of course the amount of difference it makes is likely to depend on the total payload of the bike and rider. (Clearly I'm verging on religious territory here, but I can
