This place was famous for having been built on the third base position of a demolished ballpark? "Juicy Lucy" sounds about right, though. I took a picture of the burger, but it was too pornographic to post anywhere. I do think it was in Minneapolis, not St. Paul, and we did go there with a nati

There is a Juicy Lucy's in New Orleans. On Carrollton Avenue near Canal. Great burgers with stuffed meat. My preference is cheese and jalapaneo. The waitress' wear very tight T-shirts emblazoned with "I'm Juicy." GeorgS On May 25, 3:09 am, Philip Williamson wrote: > This place was famous for

I find that the original Flites are the most comfortable - they disappear. Even better than original issue Turbos, which are a bit too rounded. Of all the Brookses, the Pro was the best, but I could not comfortably adjust the tilt, so after 12-18 months I sold it. B17s are too wide. On Mon, Apr 29

Re: [RBW] Re: Just Ride!

I remember Turbos. I thought they were the best saddles ever. However when handlebar height equals or exceeds saddle height they become quite uncomfortable. For me at least. I can't convince my lower back to bend over that far for any length of time anymore. Never owned a Flite. My humble opinio

My copy has been circulating around the last couple of months. It'll be interesting to see what beausage it's picked up when it finally returns. On the issue of bike food, I'm partial to coffee & bear claws, and leery of things I can't pronounce. dougP On Sep 25, 9:54 pm, lungimsam wrote: > So
