Definitely a tulip tree. One of the largest trees you'll find east of the Mississippi. Fairly easy to spot with the unique leaves, silvery bark, and how they tend to grow so perfectly straight. Sometimes the flowers go unnoticed, though. On Monday, May 9, 2016 at 10:57:28 AM UTC-4,

I saw the Potluck rack on the Box Dog Bikes webstore so it looks like they've got them in stock there. As far as the Pass & Stow i'm glad to see all the praise, I've been wanting to get one but I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. On Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 7:20:17 PM UTC-5, Pudge wrote:

I'm in Columbus also, although I'm not an actual Riv owner either. There's another Roll right next door to a Trek store in Upper Arlington, I will often go to these just because they're closer to me. Most Rivish place I've been to is probably Paradise Garage. Go Bucks On Sunday, December 20,

In the sci-fi & fantasy realm I would highly recommend anything by Jack Vance. Most of his novels are short. For adventure Jim Corbett wrote a few books detailing his hunting of man-eating tigers and leopards in India that are quite good. On Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 10:03:22 AM

Don't know if I can help much as I've got a schmidt hub on my bike that uses the spade connectors. It kind of looks like those shutter connectors might work better with solid copper wire, but of course that would probably be stiff and a pain to deal with. Who built up your wheel? Just

If you've got the tools bottom brackets and cranksets are pretty simple, nothing really to mess up there. Derailers are not that complicated either, it's basically about setting the limit screws to keep the chain from going where it's not supposed to. Headsets only get slightly complicated when

I actually like the color they've got on it now. Riv always posts the tiniest pictures, makes it hard to discern details. I would buy a frame without bottle mounts if it cut down the price, but I imagine it probably doesn't make too much of a difference. On Friday, October 10, 2014 9:22:27
