I vote yes on this color as well.
But then again orange is my favorite color :-)
Hate blue and can't understand RBW's seeming obsession with it.

Yea, really! That's a very strong ride.
My best time for a 400K is 18 hours.

Practice, desire and persistence.
The biggest key is learning how to fuel yourself for consistent
performace over long periods of time. At least it was for me.

That's Jeff Newberry, he rides a Heron but has a custom Riv on order.

Oh and I live in Austin and ride a custom Riv.

The deal is that both loads and yields are way down for all airlines,
so they're just trying to get as many butts into the seats as they
can.
What is QF's bicycle policy like?

Personally, I've got no problems with this, I am so tired of "people

There are other carbon-fiber spoked wheels out there that have been
performing well for years. This particular Mavic rim is just a bad design
and prone to failures. But then again, so are the Ksyriums for that matter,

Even not counting for the nuts, tri geeks are the worst riders on the

Why didn't you just lend the other riders your Spot and then have them
mail it back at the end. I mean now that you got me all hooked on
your trip blog and all. ;-)

I rode them on a 600K and would not do so again. The rolling
resistance was noticeably higher than the Grand Bois I have previously
used. Granted I did not have any flats with the Ruffy Tuffies, but
I had multiple excursions over 50 mph on my Riv at the Bike Tour of
Colorado in 2006, going downhill. You probably won't be able to keep
up with your friends going uphill, but you can bomb past them going
downhill ;-)

As far as compared to the rest of Texas' large cities it's pretty

My stable includes many more than 2 but only one of them gets taken to
town and locked up for long periods of time, my early 80s Nishiki.
Now, I have taken my Rivendell to UTexas football games but I lock it

sure that the LCD T
Just to add my $0.02, I run the Grand Bois Cypress on my Riv and I
only get about 1K on each rear tire. Failure mode seems to be a large
bulge in the tire that eventually contacts the brake bridge. Despite
this, I love these tires!
I do not rotate tires, I just replace the bad one.
