Something tells me the MTB section at Retrobike.co.uk would be the place to ask about that.

Spider looks close to IRD/Breezer cranks in this slideshow but those had crmo arms and the ones on the Trek look alu.

You'd think so, right? They're one of the world's major coffee producers but espresso stands hardly exist here. People just drink hot drip coffee they make at home and not much else.

Dangerous but cheap! They're basically independent drivers that go around in their personal cars and will take you somewhere for a prenegotiated price.

overdressed on my morning commute. wife and i made chocolate chip cookies and watched a couple teen films.

i was offered a tryout for Team USA in the Battle of Nations (medieval armoured combat w/ rebated steel weapons). fairly confident i could make it, but declined based on not having time/money to run around Europe right now. i've fought with three of the current members....good times, good times....

yes, SCA since '92.

for the Battle of Nations you are considered 'downed' when three limbs touch the ground.
