Bill interesting how the reviewer Richard Jow talks about experiencing flexture on the 25 inch and then goes on to talk about loaded touring, I wasn't touring way back in 72' but I imagine tour bikes had longer than 43 cm chain stays for touring. And as the name implies it was designed as a spo

Having just survived winter, and inching (milling?) my way through the dregs of a particularly torrential spring, I'm looking forward to slightly bigger tires now that I'll soon not need fender clearance, as well as the arrival of a new-to-me Brooks Special with what I hope are ~10mm longer rai

Funds are tight, so I'm in ride-what-I-have-until-stuff-breaks mode. One project I may be able to pull off this winter is fixing up my dad's 1986ish Fisher Montare (bullmoose bars!) for my son. It needs some new cables, brake pads and tires. It's a neat old bike. Other than that, I'll just be r

NICE!!! Color-matched bullmoose bars? Biopace crank, roller-cam brakes, vintage Deore components... the Montare was a fine ride. On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 11:50:11 AM UTC-4, Bryan wrote: > > Funds are tight, so I'm in ride-what-I-have-until-stuff-breaks mode. One > project I may be able to

Bill, Sorry for your loss. I totally understand. My father is now riding his bike again after having a heart attack over the winter, just after his 70th birthday. It's a basic steel Rockhopper from about 1989 or so. As for winter projects, only thinking about one. Maybe a set of Albatross bar

Doug, No, the bike has a set of the Surly Torsion bars on right now. Made by Nitto. They sweep back some, but starting to think not enough. For me, it's a weight issue. I have too much. Even with Ergon grips can't seem to keep numbness away. If I could get a set of Soma Clarence to fit, thos
