As an INFORMAL companion event this Saturday to the Charlie Cunningham benefit at the Marin Museum of Bicycling, I’ll be hosting a ride departing the Museum at noon. We’ll do a very casual MTB ride called the “Lakes Loop”. This will be no-drop, vintage-friendly and social. It’s about 15 miles...

Re: Re: Chris Chance at the Museum / Hall of Fame booth with the latest (near-final) 29'er version of the new Fat. CK is manning the booth.

Shafer. :wink:

VC is awesome. Pics from a couple recent visits:

Wheel size on both bikes is 700c. So the bikes are large (as am I). The bell is from http://www.spurcycle.com

Today was "New Bike Day"! But while the new bike was getting the finishing touches, I rode my last new bike (2013) out to Limantour Beach on Point Reyes -- which I'd never been all the way out to before. Ran into this strange device: Got in a second ride later in the day on the new bike...

Belated congratulations to wtb_rider... The Mountain Goat is beautiful and a most deserving winner.

A classic Marin scene today. Fog over Loma Alta as seen from Terra Linda Ridge. And a bike handmade about 3 miles from this location.

Nice mid-week ride on a freshly cleaned-up bike. Lakes and then Terra Linda Ridge (with Mt. Tam in the background).

Lakes loop on the Newsboy today. More pics here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... 6#p2431326

Newsboy ride today. Eldridge Grade about a third of the way up Mt. Tam: Curves. And a nice bottle from Una Pizza.. about as good as it gets outside Napoli. See: http://www.vimeo.com/babybluefilm/unapizzabikeshow Fork, front brake: In the Madone grove at the top of Lakeview.. between...

Just (re)entered this in May BoTM. Rode this a couple of times last week and realized it was now a full 20 years old. I still love it. Here's a recent formal "dungeon" pic of the bike: And then several pics from last week's rides: As I mentioned in the BoTM nomination thread...

Halaburt's 1995 Merlin Newsboy Build Thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80533 As with the Pro's Closet Breezer this too is a second-time entry. It was entered in 12/2009 and lost badly to Bushpig's beautiful Mantis X-frame. I'm the first/only owner of this bike and...

Not sure exactly what they're getting at with the "we still haven't forgotten" part. Specialized MTB tires were, for the most part, designed by WTB from the mid-80's to the mid-90's. That deal ended -- relatively amicably I think -- when WTB began producing their own tires. Saddles had a...

There have been bigger numbers on some eBay BIN deals too. And then, as Scant says, a number of private sales north of this number (although most of those that I'm aware of were for bikes in nicer, more complete/original condition than this one).
