That's very cool, Doc. Looks equally at home with 700 x 32 as with 650B x 38.

The last couple of years of long distance riding (not organized brevets, but 100K, 100 mile, 200k, and 300k rides), I've tended to choose bikes in my fleet that are among the lightest weight but can...

Nice! I did a double take as I'm working on a '72 Int'l in the same color and will likely be spec'd in a very similar way. I was even thinking about using those very same brake levers (though I'll...

Ah, that's my era, too, but somehow most bikes have ended up be 3-speeds for me from those days (as an adult) of working on and riding Raleigh 3-speeds. I find that on most of my rides, no matter how...

I think calling a bike a "randonneur" might inflate eBay prices as much as attaching the "fixie" label does. At least, that's what seems to be happening with this one:
