Hey Bunch,
A friend's bike was stolen recently and I'm building up a new commuter for
her. I've acquired a lightweight vintage Italian step-through in a nicely
large size for a decent price. The budget isn't terrible, but we are trying
to be thrifty (in case it's stolen again, goddess forbid) -

force against the inside of the steerer where the wedge (or other bolt-driven
thing) pushes against the tube wall.
If you have a lot of quill inserted in your steerer at your bar height level
adjustment, you have a
Good afternoon everybody,
I recently bought a VO 31.8 quill stem in order to try Salsa Cowchipper

*Long version with some backgro
I posted this over on iBOB, but certainly would appreciate feedback from
those who have tried out low trail forks on their Riv.
I'm considering as a winter project, rebuilding my Riv Redwood as a
low-trail 700c bike. I'm not going to mess with the original fork, so my
options would be finding a
I think it's been down or a few days. Same for CR, so I think it's a
Bikelist problem, or at least something that hit all of Bikelist. I haven't
tried them directly, tho, I view them in Gmail.

I know a few of you here participate in both lists, has the server
gone down again or do I have to figure out if I somehow
