Rich, that's a nice bike and color too! Reminds me of the "tusk" of the
MB-0 I had long ago.
Those Dia Compe brakes have that aesthetic of Mafac (and Paul Neo Retro)
cantilevers. I agree with your riding/handling impressions and of Johnny as
well. My bike's finish in that color was chosen by
Hi John,
Thank you very much. The Coast rando is a wonderful riding/handling bike.
Brakes are DiaCompe 980s with Kool Stop pads. I admit to being seduced by
the brake's classic design; enough that I have them another bike as well as
a previously owned Atlantis. They don't have the stopping
Gorgeous Rich! What are those brakes if I may ask?

That's a sweet bike! Love the Poly. I can't imagine having found my way to
this kind of "enlightened" bike so early in life - I use that term somewhat
tongue in cheek because there are many correct answers to the right bike
but this is pretty much where I ended up after 30 years of riding
You're giving this a lot of thought, maybe a tad too much, but that's for
you to consider. Congratulations on your tour. You've found how easy &
interesting it can be to meet people while on a bicycle. People are always
interested in your trip & willing to give advice on local conditions.
Racing is not a bad thing, and there are plenty of arguments for the
benefits of athletic competition. What I think is unfortunate is how
competition focused the bike industry has become, which really addresses
only a small part of the bicycling world. For those of us old enough to

Yer fine. Just ride. It does sound like you're learning the impact a bike
and it's rider can make on their community.

I'm sure you'll get some excellent philosophical replies from the group, so
I'll just give you three quick thoughts:
1. No time spent on or with bicycles is a waste of your time, regardless
of how you approach it.
2. Good on you for thinking about this at a reletively young age and
