Great shot Erl! The sky was lovely this morning. I like the Atlantis with Albatross bars, seems like a perfect match. On Thu, Mar 10, 2016, 09:19 islaysteve wrote: > Great photo, Erl! The checkerboard paving and of course the Atlantis add > to the composition. > Cheers, Steve > > -- > You rec

I'm sure you will remember the day riding with your wife for a long time. Good decision. On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 10:54:43 AM UTC-6, Ryan Thompson wrote: > > The weather was so nice in DC that my wife and I decided to take the day > off and ride into the city. > > Picture to prove it.

Tony, Great photos. It was a glorious day. Today is shaping up nicely, too. This morning was close to as perfect a morning as can be weather wise. I stopped at the MARC station in Kensington about 6:15am on my ride to work to capture this sunrise photo. I have fitted the Atlantis with Albatro

Great shots Tony. I see you rode the Bomba today instead of the Saluki, looking good. Ryan On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 10:12:03 PM UTC-5, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > > A truly excellent life decision! I couldn't make the magic happen for > myself with an early departure but I did get some ex

A truly excellent life decision! I couldn't make the magic happen for myself with an early departure but I did get some extra miles in before work today... caught sunrise from the Key Bridge and then a delicious Americano from Baked and Wired in Georgetown... it's hard to have a bad day after

Ryan - the brake levers are the Dia-Compe. And yes, did upgrade to the DOS freewheel (17/19 in this case). Was having problems with the Shimano last fall. Used hard cider for the broth with the mussels. Suggested by a friend. Ended up quite tasty. And yes, crusty bread. Today we've had 4" or

Your Sam and SimpleOne are very handsome bikes...I like the muted green and and that almost slate blue. For the SimpleOne...what brake levers are you using? I thought Shimano RX100 but now I'm thinking Dia-Compe or they almost look like TRP's with the QR button on the outside when I blow up the
