Looks a lot bigger than a 54! P.S. Try as I might, I just can’t love a TIG-welded frame. Call me old-fashioned, but a steel frame should be either lugged (preferred) or fillet brazed (second choice). I do have one TIG-ed frame, and it’s just fine, but it’s a bike that’s built for utility

I just stumbled on this video, and think many of you might enjoy it. Especially if you tend to geek out on history & manufacturing techniques like I do. Takeaways: I clearly need to find better a terminology than "bottom bracket" for describing the spindle/bearing/cup assembly or cartridge

Hi all. My daughter'll be starting school in the fall & I'd like to pull her behind the tandem (my son's the stoker) w/ a Piccolo. I know some on this list are a little further ahead in regards to kids' ages, so I'm hoping someone has one they need to get rid of. If you have one & are willing

I ride a 2000 BMW GS 1150, and before that rode a 1987 BMW R80. Are they Riv-ish motos? Maybe, sort of, but don;t obsess on that. Bicycling and motorcycling are entirely different, share much of the same qualities, and utterly complement each other. Leaning into turns, looking through the

Forgive me if this is too far off topic, although it's related to Rivendell's concerns of proper bike comfort, fit, etc. After cycling 100-200 miles/week for 4 months on my Romulus I managed to get a herniated disk. I'm not positive it was caused by cycling, but it seems quite likely (my doctor

It's an amazing day. I just found my old Woolrich wool knickers. I think these are early to mid 80's, so well over 20 years old. I bought them when they were discontinued and only used them a couple of times before my middle aged spread rendered them unwearable. I tired them on today and
