I've been reading your notes on Flickr, Bob. Good stuff. I like what you said about the Phil and Schmidt hubs matching. Now that I own a Schmidt hub, I don't...

Thanks, Matthew. I'd be happy to share details of the build, and my experiences (ie mistakes) along the way. I'll post something a bit later. The key detail I...
... aesthetically, they do a pretty good job of looking passably modern and classic at the same time; top-shelf but not flashy. its that clean, elegant,...
... I just noticed something Peter White and Phil Wood have the same initials anyway... has anyone ever sent a Schmidt hub to White for service? Matthew...

Thanks Matthew, I got a message from Ryan in Albuquerque who has a 59 and said that seemed like it would work well with the seat height I posted. We're going...

Relating to lights, I too haven't been all that impressed with the output of my B&M Lumotec. It's OK, but being used to running HID helmet lights for...
