Oh no... First the Butterscotch Hilsen, and now the Silver Bomba??? Too
much for one day... *Note to self... must find bank to rob... *

GOOD ANSWER!!!
Although my S1 and Bombadil (purchased from Riv) would easily be worth full
price, I did get a deal on both!!

Attention Adventure Riders:
I am planning a 2-day adventure ride from the Delaware Water Gap (on the
NJ/PA border) up to Milford, PA, then back to the Gap the following day.
The element of adventure is due to the varied terrain we will encounter,
along with any last-minute or on-the-fly route
Having ridden my 2TT Bomba (60cm), for the past 2-3 years, I've never been
able to place it in any one category. Granted mine is sized and configured
as more of a roadish bike, I'd say it stands alone as a unique breed unto
itself. I'd never consider taking my Bomba on the same rocky and
I think it's obvious... Keven IS MacGuyver...

Would like to plan 2 rides:
April 13-14: Delaware Water Gap Adventure Loop - 2-day credit
card/self-supported (on/off road), which features a scenic rural road ride
up the Delaware River on Day 1, with the Day 2 return leg including a mixed
hilly terrain route through High Point/Stokes
Not feelin the B68 love? I too prefer the B17, but I have always
especially liked the B67 and B68 for around-town, and yet wondered whether
they'd be too wide for longer, harder riding.
Beautiful bike... I'm wondering why the derailleur cables both route down
the right side? At first glance
NICE MOD!!!

Came up with a great solution for mounting a Cygolite on the strut of my

Note this this won't work on an M-12 or VO front rack with brazed/welded
