Just b4 heading out on yesterday's ride I mounted that two-legged kickstand from Pure Cycles on my Miele 26'er old mtb. I kinda like it's functionality though not necessarily the look. Works well. Paul in Dallas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Paul, Thanks. I’m currently running Albastache on my new Homer and considering a change. I have 3 hand positions but find myself more and more liking the upright position. I can do that with Albastache but need to reach long for the brakes. I want the brakes closer to the bar end. Lyman in

6/13/20: ~24 mile acequia ditchbank trail and road ride, perhaps 18 miles dirt. Cooler -- mid 80s, breeze moderate, surfaces hardish from recent rains -- nice change from the usual dry weather sand. I picked up a roofing nail in the front tire; sealant almost sealed it, but I got a chance to use

Highly endorse looking through classic photo books and learning by osmosis. A few instructional books from the library (when they reopen?), or something like: “Why Photographs Work” might help you find your style. Also recommend a simple digital camera — iPhone with the grid enabled is one

I brought up the question of photographic skill a while ago on this or the Bob list, asking for books or instructions on improving my very poor skills; the consensus in reply was: practice, paying attention to your results so that you start to see what action produces what results. I must do that;

Jim, That archway is a sculpture piece made to pay a bit of homage to a former piece of playground equipment from 40 or so years ago that was shaped like a rocket. Kids growing up in the area loved climbing on that Rocket Ship. I think that when the decision to tear it down was made an agreement

Thanks! I enjoy being able to process film myself. It’s also a whole lot less expensive—I can process a roll of color film for about $1 in chemicals. I used to process film and make prints in a darkened bathroom/darkroom when I was in high school some 40+ years ago. Doing film photography now
