Oh dear....I.....he....was afraid of that.

Doctor, I think a friend of mine might have a ..... problem. I am.....ummmm, I mean he is..... ALREADY thinking about the next RRBO AND the next MBBO.....Is there any hope, Doc?

Tell the C.P.B.A. That The Captain said "Bikes is Bikes"

Thanks Frankie. Just low budget factory rimes, I am sure.

Bikes is bikes. Love it. Thanks Cap.

I just picked up a Roger Riviere step through 10 speed for my other, and I have a few questions about road bikes, first and foremost about tires. Do I need folding tires or wire bead tires? Or does it matter? I have never built or even owned a 10 speed, so I know nothing about them. Thank...

Sounds very cool. I like the name, too. It sounds like the title of a steampunk novel....

@SpokeMan Mags and discs has been the plan since I first started thinking about building a bike. @MattiThundrrr Thanks for that chart. Pretty cool. @OddJob My two favorite colors...Flat and Black.... Just kidding. But yeah, black....Raven....Ravenshurst... I was going to name her...

Quick update: no new pictures, nothing new to show yet. I have ordered a stem, handlebars, and a new fork, but nothing has arrived yet, so nothing to take pictures of. I am starting to come down with a cold, but tomorrow is my day off, so hopefully tomorrow is sanding and painting, and THEN I...
