Thanks for the link and the write-up - a great account of the day.
Sorry to hear of the sickness.

rust never sleeps!
i'm of the understanding that most any powdercoating will admit of some
degree of rust over time, all things equal. i wouldn't worry about it.

There is a difference between "clear coat" and the "clear powder
I have a clear powder coated Quickbeam and have no visible rust at
all. The corrosion seen on many clear powder coated frames is, I
believe, a function of the frame's preparation prior to the clear
coating. The previous owner of my bike had the original orange paint
removed, then took the frame hom
Nice write up! The sunset was amazing, although I could only catch it

We probably over-react to rust, especially here in So Cal. Rust means
deterioration but there are lots of ancient, rusty beach cruisers
still in use. Granted, they are probably made from heavier gauge
tubing but it's also likely to be a lower grade of steel than a

Very nicely said James. I completely concur with the sentiment, though...Kahn's
natural materials could weather gracefully without finish. With RCP you've got
the CP on top of the raw steel. Maybe a CorTen frame? ;)

There was a LOT of climbing, which probably isn't the best way to
rehabilitate a foot injury! Be sure to get better by the 9th; Dirt
Mulholland is the best ride out there (and ends at Bay Cities Deli!).
Here more of a write up from yesterday's ride:

wow... what a nice ride! I'm sorry I missed it, my heel was much
better Saturday so I probably coulda made it. Except I was down in
Carlsbad and didn't bring a bike. I spent the day doing plumbing
repairs and painting the kitchen at the new place.
I'm looking forward to the dirt Mullholland ride
That's the only downside I've heard of, and would probably be so slow in a
dry climate to not worry about it.

James, clear powdercoat is quickly becoming one of my favorites. They are
just great to look at. I love the raw finish where you can see the
manufacture's markings, and builders file marks and even thumb prints! The
verdict is still out on whether they are susceptible to rust though.
On Sun, No
The pace was PERFECT! I don't know if any of the riders were feeling held
back and others pushed beyond what was comfortable, but I thought it was
just great. I ascend pretty slowly, but tend to bomb the downhills. A
little break every hour or so (emphasis on the so!) does wonders. I'm

Thanks to everyone for joining this ride. Total time was around 5
hours, with "just enough" time off the bike to stay fed, hydrated and
stretched. The views from 5,000' are incredible, especially with all
the wind lately that's cleared the air. David's photos are great.

Glad everyone had fun. Looks like a nice group of people, great
weather and a great route.
Just a general shout-out to group members, if you're ever in Portland
drop me a line and we can go for a ride.
