You should get a 58 and set it up with a very large tire. It will work well,
and you won't regret the standover when you're riding offroad.
I ride a 66cm atlantis, a 62cm hunqa. I probably would've been equally happy

Patrick is a long-time friend and a honest person to boot. If I had space
and money, I would love to have a QB back in my life. Hopefully one of y'all
might fit it and enjoy it!

This might be old news, but Paul is making adapters for putting silver
shifters on their thumbies.

It's $21, but I probably would've done it this way instead of shimano had
they been out last fall when I built my hunqapillar. Good stuff, figured

All things considered, light is nice, but it's way more important to have
something that can do the work you need. Unless, of course, you opt to use
your car when you decide to get groceries more than what fits in your
saddle/hbar bags. I would rather not pollute the lungs of the people I share

i've had reasonable success with boeshield when tenacious didn't work. Spray
in the boeshield, and let it do the magic. Less lubrication, sure, but I'm
not too worried about it. Through some tenacious in after a few days if it
worries you, but I'm maybe 2k out on such a treatment with the freewheel

Cleaning out my parts box. No photos right now, but I wanted to get this up
before I left for the weekend. Paypal reserves your stuff, and I'll ship it

you get 10 off so long as you come to me.

I have a big loafer that I'd love to trade for a little loafer or a

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone can suggest some good routes for this time of year near
placerville? I'm open to onroad, off, or both. Would need snow 5" or less
since I'm not looking for an epic out there. My ideal would be something
that would take me up into the sierras... It looks like I'll be out
I've worn out two sets, and they're my tire of choice on the atlantis. Best
tire out there, in my opinion, for the mixed riding I love. The difference
between those 40mm and the knobby 55mm's on my hunqapillar is pretty slight

Yep please ride to the trails, it's so close and it'll be easy in no time.
Go up tunnel as recommended, but turn right on skyline. Go a mile or so and
look for the redwood trailhead on your left--from there choose either left

y'all might consider working to realize sunday streets- / ciclovia-style
