I agree with Patrick's suggestion, get a good one. I bought a decent stand with REI rebates one year (LOTS of camping equipment bought that year!). I've had the "Ultimate" repair stand for 20 years now and have never liked it but can't justify a new one. Things I suggest watching for (that I

Yes, the most important piece of wrenching kit after your allens, combo wrenches, cassette/bb/headset tools, and your hammer, screwdrivers, and pliers. ("After" because a stand is not much use if you haven't the tools to use it with.) I chose an inexpensive Park "consumer" model (this about

Treat yourselves to a stand... It revolutionized my wrenching enjoyment. Jeff and lum, thanks for sharing your rear lighting setups I'm always interested to see how folks make it work. On my Saluki I drilled holes in the lug windows of the down tube(where it meets the HT) and seat tube(at the

Sorry, I should have been more specific. This is the double-bar Rosco I rode with reachback handlebars. It's certainly too big for me with drops, but city bars can really shrink a bike. I loved it.

I was specifically fascinated by double top tube configuration. That said, I do think that reach back bar at the bottom makes so much sense, every bike (that is not made for lightweight) should have it  This would've been my pick if Appaloosa hadn't existed. My two cents on handlebar talk

Ashwath, I believe I saw that you're about my height, 5'-7", 80-ish PBH, and live around these parts. I rode that 50cm Rosco and it fit me great with the reachback bars..you might wanna go check it out. In my opinion the stated size range on the site is too conservative. -- You received this

Fantastic setup! That triangular bag arrangement is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Made me look up Rosco frames to see if the additional top tube is available for my size. Unfortunately I'm one size too short for that! On Wednesday, December 21, 2016, Jon BALER
