merziac what in the world do you transport in that huge saddle bag? Your cricket gear and kit!?! An inflatable raft and paddles for crossing the Columbia River? Parachute, etc., for base jumping off the top of Mount Hood? Curious East-Coast minds want to know?

Lugged Tange Prestige, Ritchey design bi-plane fork crown, pretty good newer paint, no decals, Control Tech brakes, Specialized bar and stem, Phil front hub, Mavic 517 rims, C King HS, Nitto 65 SP, Huret Eco Duopar RD, Suntour FD and Brooks Conquest ATB sprung seat which I had never seen before.

Great value when most others are 3 or 4 times the price.
And they work very well for me when increasing or decreasing the load.
