Yay, we're getting all kinds of cross-pollination in this thread.

I had a rueben panini for lunch. The best thing I can say is that I was less hungry after eating it.

I'm not sure if I missed it, but I didn't see anyone post about balancing the load if you load the front. It has an affect on handling, more so than an imbalance on the rear wheel.

Nice fleet of bikes, holiday76.

FWIW, I am not offended by the title. Before I got into the thread I was going to make a joke about the poop thing, but holiday76 headed me off at the pass. That's my only issue with this thread.

Does anyone know where to get front pannier mounts for my penny-farthing?
