I plan on riding my bike this winter! I am hoping to have my Rivendell 650b conversion complete by the Hill Country Randonneurs' 300k brevet on November 23rd. So that would be a fall project :) On Oct 28, 2013 12:55 PM, Bill Lindsay tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: My winter project list involves:

we Texans ride all winter by definition. Best time to ride here. My daughter was blasting on her bike last weekend - hadn't gone for a serious ride since August, and she forgot how fun and fast it was. Looking forward to see how the Winsdor ends up Bill. On Monday, October 28, 2013

Thanks Ron Mc, I'm looking forward to the Windsor project, and to riding through the winter. Speaking of the Windsor project, one thing I am going to try is some Cromo Albatross handlebars. Riv had been out of stock on them, but they are now in stock. So, if you want that last chance at free

Ha, cool on the Windsor! I built my Dad up a 64cm version of one of those as a one of the weirdest town bikes ever. The head angle on his is crazy steep--must be 75 deg , and the fork is the old 0.833 American standard. He loves it, and I have to admit it's not a bad ride when I've borrowed

Bill: A Windsor like that one was my first “nice” bike in about 1973. I actually bought the model just below the one you have—the tubular tires were a bit much for a young kid in junior high. I eventually sold the Windsor when I got a car in high school. I liked that bike a lot, and I hope

The wedding is at the Mitten Building and the ceremony is in the early evening. If we do a morning ride it would be delightful to meet for lunch somewhere in the neighborhood. That would leave plenty of time to get showered up and the suit on. I'll hit you up off list when the logistics
