I will be out of the shop from the 31st of August to the 15th (or so) of September.
We're taking some time to ride around Vancouver Island. I've never been there, and everyone I've talked to who has spent any time there says it's a beautiful place. We'll see about that. I'll be reporting on the trip when I've got the time and the internet access.
All shipping of flask holsters, handlebars and center stands will have to wait until I'm back. Thanks for your patience.
See you on the other side!
Michael A 650b Randonneur
Here's a classy lugged 650b randonneur. It's got all the basic requirements -- comfortable geometry with a low trail and stable handling with or without weight in the front handlebar bag; it's got a front generator hub and bright front light wired through the rack; the bike has plenty of tire clearance for fatter tires, and long Honjo fenders with mud flaps to keep the road spray off. There's a light duty rear rack that can accommodate small panniers for those short bike camping trips. The drive train is Campagnolo, and everything works like a dream. This is a bike that begs to go out for some seriously long rides, and is meant to be comfortable the whole way, no matter the road conditions. I'm envious of Michael, especially since this one is just about my size.
Enjoy!
