For sale is My Surly Pugsley, somewhat Rivendell or Jones-esq with the wheel pulled all the way back and the relatively long chainstays of 475mm, the upright riding position, the camping setup, and the non-fancy parts (135mm hubs!) Just thought I'd post here in case anyone is interested.

Here's a neat article about a rider and frame builder inspired by Riv's Susie Longbolts: https://bikepacking.com/bikes/maestro-rat-snake-prototype/ It makes me wonder what their impression would be of a stiffer Rivendell Hillibike, like the Atlantis or especially Gus Boots Wilson. -- You

It's neat to see others going through the bike mechanics learning too. I've found the book "Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance" to be super helpful, especially in combination with the Park Tool videos. I'm sure Zinn's road bike book is good too. On Monday, February 20, 2023 at
