I am cleaning out some odds and sods before the holidays, all of these are either barely used or are still NIB. 1. *Carradice Barley saddlebag* –Green. (Retail $120) with *Bagman 2 support* (retail $45) . I mounted these to a bike and put maybe 20 miles on it before removing

As others have said a work stand for sure worth every penny. with two Y wrenches; hex (4 5 6mm) and socket (8 9 10) I can just about take apart an entire bike. My favorite tools. I am usually a less is more kind of guy, but when it comes to bearing grease more is better. I have found the facto

[RBW] About to start experimenting with centerpulls

Bill, my first reaction to the diacompe rack was also - it's so tiny it's cute. Ended up using it as a basket support on my sister-in-laws bike. I have been refurbishing old 10 speeds for the last few years and have found center pulls as good or better than side pulls. Ryan S -- You received

[RBW] '80s Peugeot built for off road riding, limited Riv content

Tom, I always like to see stories about getting classic steel bikes back on the road. It's always a bit surprising how much clearance a lot the 10/12 speeds have, I have run 37mm with fenders on a vintage Nishiki, Chapeau on your build. I especially like the use of the Nexus rear hub. Ryan -

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell riders wear for cycling shorts for long rides?

It goes against "Doctrine" but I like bib shorts in particular Castelli or DeMarchi, I find wool boxer briefs with MUSA shorts fine for rides under 20 miles but for the longer stuff I go to the bibs. I hear great things about Ibex wool blend bibs and intend to try them some day. As for Jerseys

[RBW] Re: San Juan Islands Tour Advice

As a West Seattleite I will say that there can be some good riding from Southworth to Port Orchard but I think the Interurban trail to Whibey Island was a good choice by Adam as it more directly gets them to good Island riding. Enjoy Adam On Tuesday, June 4, 2013 9:15:09 PM UTC-7, samh wrote:
