Nice Romulus! We don't see many of those, though I know they're out there. On Saturday, March 4, 2023 at 3:38:24 PM UTC-5 marcusg...@gmail.com wrote: > Cold morning commutes in Seoul with my canti Romulus. > [image: 20230130_065636.jpg] > > On Tuesday, February 28, 2023 at 10:59:06 AM UTC+9 Taka

Russell, You are correct. I had a brain fart on the location of Tom Oswald's businesses (bicycle shop and frame building). And that's despite the fact my wife and I visited from Virginia over a decade ago to ride the nearby Pine Creek Trail across the state line in NY. Tom is a very nice fellow.

Paul, I know very little about "old" bikes, and I've never known about Austro Daimler bikes. Yours looks like a very meticulous made beautiful frame. Is it made of stainless? Also, your friend's Homer looks very cool & clean. Dave, love that mirror-like pond; it's as if you see sky both over you

Re: [RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

Ted, The place I took the photo is about 5-minute ride from my room. Snow is mostly disappeared now. Snow bank indeed makes road narrower, but I ride mostly on non-busy back roads, so no problem. Slin, I'm pretty sure that your wife will love that beautiful Platypus! Eric Marth, Good ride with f

Hello Kim. Too soon to tell. I have yet to complete the build. I am waiting on cables. It is complete enough for me to pedal (slowly!) around the driveway & down the street to check fit & get a feel for it. I think I am very close - it feels very familiar. I am trying to duplicate my position / tou

Thank you Garth. Yes, it was indeed "Midnight Sun." When I looked up and stared at the moon it was almost blinding. Dorothy, riding in winter rain is much tougher than in snow IMHO. And your Clem looks like the embodiment of what Grant was thinking when he designed them. Jamin, they're beautifu

Get well! I've been riding, getting stuff in between the bouts of rain here in the Bay Area. We did a ride today, but I wasn't on my Roadini, since with all the mud off pavement I wasn't going to try riding off pavement today. With trees and power lines down here and there, there are lots of r

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

Oh those are lovely Moonlight photos Takashi ! I agree that about riding by Moonlight ... really just being outdoors in some/any place quiet is itself magical. Better to have driven there that to not be there at all :-) I like to call such illumination "The Midnight Sun" as truly ...

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

Leah, Thank you for the video, your Platypus with lots of lights is so fabulous! It sure looks like Michigan is a tough place to ride bikes when there is heavy snowfall. As someone commented cross country skiing might be fun. Here's a photo from last year: https://flic.kr/p/2mZYVer Paul, Thank yo

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

Takashi — the picture was taken in the evening, returning from a short ride. Nice snow pics, Dave! Paul is right, we generally don't get a lot of snow. We definitely don't have snow on the ground all winter. We can get a big storm with a couple of feet every few years. Back in 1996 a blizzar

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

Takashi, To answer your question about snow in Virginia, generally we get less than we used to. (No surprise there.) Eric is less than 100 miles north of me, but we are both in Eastern/Central Virginia, more or less. The farther west in the state, the higher the elevation and that portion gets s

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

Takashi, Yes, this Platypus looks like an exotic thing on the barren landscape this time of year. We really did lose 2 feet of snow to warm temps in a week. Wild. I don’t have more ride photos yet but I do have a video I shot when winter arrived. I hope you can see it. I’ll attach my Instagram

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

I love riding through those long winter shadows, and the way they blink past on a forest road ride. It's amazing how unique and recognizable the landscape of the eastern deciduous forest is! Even before I saw the mention of Midlothian, I wondered if the photo was from NC or VA. Nice shot! Greg
