Hey, there's a nice short roundup of modern porteur bikes over at the Hampsten Cycles blog: http://hampsten.blogspot.com/2005/12/useful-bikes.html Probably not...
I took great care of this bike. Added a few things. I could part it out but don't want to hassle with it. I think the price is fair with all the stuff I added....
My buddies in Taiwan report that production is SLOW. Apparently the big brands over-bought and have cut back. But here in Shakopee, we can't pack them fast...
Since the porteur is not available yet and I remember I still have an old Motobecane frame in my attic I thought I'd play around with different setups. I...
It's 17 degrees and snowing. Will the Porteur be a good snow bike? And I guess the broader question is, what makes a good snow bike? awaiting warming...
... Ok, here are a bunch. I use http://www.nifty.com/globalgate/ as a translator. Mr Haro -MTB Around Hamamatsu Japan http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~tougetok/ Mr...
I thought I would share the holiday spirit...I just received an email from Nashbar with a multiple-use 20% coupon. Code: holi20 From the email: Offer good on...
Matthew, What tires do you plan to bring in for 590s? I ride a couple of Raliegh 3-speeds and would love some quality tires for these. The links you posted the...
Don Walker has issued a press release for the next NAHBS. I've posted it below. What do you all think? Should be go and show? Matthew North American Handmade...
Let's see... Robert will need 4 for his two bikes and I'll need another 4 for the Superbe and the longed-for Porteur. Spares? Anybody else? I'm hoping to...
Yes, I am. But racing is not the right word. We take it easy and try not to miss any bakeries along the route. http://www.3speedtour.com I look forward to...
New KO member Ernesto Garcia has been doing some 590 investigation for me in Japan where he lives, teaches and rides his bike. On Saturday he sent me an email...
The thread on trail and the mention of "track geometry" prompts this question: is anyone racing a Kogswell on the track? My neighbor and riding partner has...
I've found satisfaction by following this guideline: As much as possible, spend money with people who know you by name. That's usually locally owned...
Hello, My name is Dan Goldenberg and I live in Seattle. I've lurked on this list a bit but have not contributed since I don't own a Kogswell. I like all types...
Time heals all wounds. I'm back! Thanks you all for your kind wishes for a speedy recovery. They seemed to have worked. Never underestimate the power of...
I'm flat on my back. An old injury came back to visit. And while being unable to move is bad enough, the Porteur samples arrived. Isn't life funny? So to pass...
That Dahon is gorgeous. But one thing to check out: will it fold up small enough to check as baggage without paying the oversize fee (which can run close to...
Sorry, I sit corrected! But at least I described what I meant so you knew....the 700 gives quick steering with a very steep head angle (protractor showed it...
As I was fishing the chain, cassette and rear der parts out of the parts washer, I began to wonder if it might be practical to equip the Porteur with an...
... This is true. Floppier at low speeds, more stable at high speeds. You pays your money and you takes your choice. I've never liked high-trail bicycles...
I have a friend who is interested in purchasing a used (sorry MG) P frameset in 60 or 62 cm. Contact me off-list if you know of one available and I'll put you...
Hi. It's time to reorder our Model G frames and, not surprisingly, I'm pondering lowering the trail. Doing so seems sensible. Being able to change line in a...
I thought you might find the following post, made by Doug Brooks on the Serotta forum, of iterest. He's discussing low trail with respect to a recent...
