Hi Everyone New to the group, dreaming of a P/R this spring. Just to add to the twist shift debate I noticed Shimano has a new inter- 8 the "Alfine" with rapid...

In view of this message from Matthew awhile back, I assumed that we'd see the larger sizes only in the near term... "The 53.6 and 56.3cm frames were all...
Hi, folks. Michael Terraferma sent me this: Matthew, I have a frame that I am trying to find a home for. It is a 59 and it's made from the same tubing as the...

Matthew, any updates on the shipment of the replacement type "E" and "F" forks and the 700C P/R frames? In mid-July you reported that the original shipment...
... Yep, I sliced the fender hardware off w/a dremel. The Berthoud struts are lighter, look nicer and seem stronger. There's still a little bit of flat stock...
... Nope. The sides are rolled in; though I suppose you could gently pry them open enough to work wiring into them. The paint may not fair well though. I...
... The P/R 1.0 fenders were steel and had nice wire mngt clips built in. The 2.0 fenders are alloy and the only way to rig a clip was by using rivets. So I...
... They are going to leave Taiwan any day now. My agent took some time to go to Interbike but he's back now. I'll check w/ him tonight. I know this seems like...
I just redid the rear wiring on the Kogswell G with Berthoud fenders. The wire seats very nicely into the channel along the edge of the fender, then I just...
... Good choice, IMO. I assume most folks don't use a wired taillight anyways. The extra material in there would add to the disruption in water flow and it's...
... Personally, I'm pretty darned happy with the whole package. The fenders are just about perfect. The frames are so light. I'm just stoked. ... I was...
Post I-bike, S.B. reported, "In addition to exotic beer, Surly had particularly cool schwag this year: yard-long toe straps..." Wasn't this a Kogswell desire...
... Funny, I was JUST thinking about those. Ours were going to be a meter long. The problem was that we could not find leather thick enough. It may be time to...
Thin leather would be fine, as long as you did the laminated leather straps. I'd be in for several pair. ************************************** See what's new...
Hi. I talked to Mr. Big this morning. The 700C forks are at paint and will be done soon. So the rest of the 2.0 frames and the 700C forks will be leaving...
I've never had a pair of the old Avocet laminated toe clip straps delaminate. I bought several pairs at a bike shop going out of business, but I just used my...
Never had any toe straps delaminate. But I never use them "right" anyway. Just set them fairly loose and never adjust. That way I can switch between "real"...
