Looking to sell or trade a nearly new Brooks C67. I've only ridden it maybe
50 miles. My lady thighs are just too large for the nose of this saddle. It
was fraying my leggings very quickly! For trade I'm looking for a C19,
carved or not. For purchase $100 shipped to the lower 48.

My favourite bags for commuting are from Po Campo. https://www.pocampo.com
They make very cute and functional bags for commuters. I use one of their
backpack/pannier models for normal commutes. It is super quick to use is as
a pannier on my rear rack, and then put it into backpack mode to walk i
I want my bicycles to be as silent as possible. I don't get annoyed with
other people's loud hubs, because it's only in passing, I don't have to
hear it all the time. The stock Formula hub on my Fuji makes the Deore on
my Clem sound loud!
Silence is golden,

Leah, I think that Clem needs some studded tyres. Then you would only have
to look longingly at your Platypuses in January/February! Riding on quiet
snow packed streets is an absolute joy, feels like I'm cheating, being out
there on two wheels in the winter, it is exhilarating!

Maybe this is heresy here, but I ride my ebike on windy days. Hauling
groceries uphill into the wind is doable for me, but I'm absolutely
miserable on my Clem when I do it. I can't haul as much on my ebike, but
putting it into turbo on those days puts me into the best of moods!

Mine would be a custom Clem. Painted a sparkly light pink with that
pearlescent look, built up with all Silver components. And it would have
custom decals with her proper Clementine name, no more Smith Jr! Oh and
definitely a different head badge, something colourful and pretty, the Clem
badge
Haha Eric, I love the effort you put into those pics! Your cape looks so
light, how many grams is it? Bet is doesn't breathe very well though 😹

Ooh Drew, your "one bike" sounds dreamy! Have you seen Nua Bikes? They make
bikes just as you describe. I've been lusting after one of those for so
long. They will even do a titanium fork if that's what you want. But like
you, waiting on the lottery before I can import one.

I just looked at the last Sackville bag I purchased. It's probably over a
year old by now, and it says Made in USA. But I like the hecho. Fits right
in with Rivendell's quirkiness!

I use a Surly 8-Pack rack with a basket attached with several velcro
straps. I love the rack, very sturdy, attaches to my fork crown and
mid-fork eyelets, so it has kinda a minimal look. And it's not very
expensive. It's on my Clem, and when it had the stock Bosco bars, the
steering would be sl
Yeah, mine is from after the recall, so it came with the beefier bolts or
whatever they changed. Thanks for looking out though!

I thought this video tour of Blue Lug would be of interest to the group. I
could spend hours in that shop! Unfortunately he isn't familiar with
Rivendell, so he didn't fawn over them.

In 2017, I was getting ready to do my first tour. And I was reading nearly
everything my library had related to bicycles in preparation. That's when I
found Grant's "Just Ride" book. I had never heard of Rivendell before then.
That book really clicked with me. So much so, that I put off my tour
