Hi folks,
I built this bike up last year, and just haven't been riding it. Too much

Nice. Russ Pickett in Chico (a.k.a. Joe Bell North) is an equal to Joe

I'll be in Seattle next Monday for about a week, and I'm hoping to
have my recently coupled Saluki built back up by then to bring along.
But, if I can't get it finished, are there any shops in Seattle that
demo or rent decent bicycles? I'd like to get some decent day rides in
while I'm in town.

I picked up my S&S-ified Saluki from Steve Rex last week. Steve is right up
there with Bilenky in terms of quality and craftsmanship. I had Russ PIckett
retouch the frame, and it looks brand new again. That Rex is just down the
road from Chico was a bonus.
Now I get to take it to the PNW soon, and
Yep.

If it is easier for everyone, I'm fine with changing the start point
to Mike's Bikes there in Sausalito. It's easier for me.

If you guys are talking about NorCal, why are you planning something
down in the central part of the coast? ;-)
I'd suggest doing something that starts at The Bridge™, heads into

Exactly. For me, racing cyclocross on a touring bike, or doing an epic
technical mountain ride in the Sierras on an "AR" bike isn't
acceptable. I could get through those
It keeps it from moving while racked. I've seen many bike shops do this as well.
