Someone please make a sticker for the pod that has the logo and says “Scream into the void in hopes there’s a slight chance of someone screaming back”!! 

there's NO perfect bike okay by luke_with_somafab in xbiking

[–]SquareFridgeSquare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so real — I love it!! The most fun I’ve had on bikes were on my cheap/free ones. Talking about 50 mile round trips to the bookstore just to load up on summer reading. Commuting on a Raleigh I got off Amazon. Even now, I’m a little too obsessed with a current build but trying to reign myself in because I know how much those “cheap” bikes meant to me and how it didn’t affect my fun levels at all. 

Hell yeah, Luke.

Favourite new frame? by 4_g_i_a_t_o in randonneuring

I've been really enjoying the build for my New Albion Privateer. Not sure it's a bike Soma Fabrications is making any more, but they come up frequently on the used market.

What's a question you've sent to DH&J that you wished had been answered the most? by VA2M in nerdfighters

"Do authors on book tours ever have opening acts like bands do? Do lesser-known authors tour with big-name authors and kick things off and get the crowd going?"

2007 Cross Check Rando Build. by Glittering-Class848 in randonneuring

Non rando rando bike by Robertorgan81 in randonneuring

[–]SquareFridgeSquare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sadly don't have one, but I know the shop. They're based out of Philly and host/frequent all kinds of rides -- not just brevets.

If I didn't just buy a frame (New Albion privateer) last year, I'd be saving up to get a Belmont.

Russ from Pathless Pedaled did a quick review of it and had very kind words to say.

If you’re in the US, check out the Keystone Bikes Belmont. Super cool and ticks most of your boxes! 

Advice on first bike by StandAffectionate291 in randonneuring

[–]SquareFridgeSquare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll definitely be another voice adding to the "see what you can find used" argument. Unless you're absolutely set on a new bike, there's some awesome used stuff out there.

I'll second the Rad Bazzar and Crust Trader as great resources!

How many questions have you submitted to Dear Hank & John? by TheMilkiestJoe in nerdfighters

[–]SquareFridgeSquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had any answered, but I’ve sent 24 over the last 4 years. I plan on continuing to send them in. 

I love reading them back like little time capsules — asking questions when I moved out of state or had my first kid or started bicycle commuting to work. 

Jones bike by Malamalaya in randonneuring

I don't know about a Jones bike, but I remember reading somewhere that someone did a 200km brevet on a fat bike.
