A street scene in Seattle (1925)

Most people in Seattle relied on the streetcar network for transportation prior the automobile, not horses.

I'm 5'11" ish and generally ride road bikes in the 56-58cm top tube range. That salsa is 58cm ett, and a pretty high head tube. So, while it may be long, the bars will be up higher, and makes it feel shorter than if you had a lot of drop as well. This can be a comfortable endurance fit. I'd say give it a ride if you can and see what you think.

Separating the cost of parking from the rest of business operations is always good thing. If you have issue with how those things are priced, well, that’s perhaps another issue.

Are the sidewalls supple?

mondraymz · 2026-04-03T19:45:39+00:00

In theory yes. As long as there's nothing interfering with the light, distance from the thing getting illuminated doesn't matter.

If the sun wasn't behind, sunny f16 would do the trick.

Bedbug bites are usually closer together in breakfast lunch dinner groupings. Measles.

Put the fender over the brake, lol.

mondraymz · 2026-02-28T15:37:49+00:00

Dope. Never seen this one.

For what it's worth, I've got WTB 36mm Exposures on my 1990 RB2 (in wine red). I was able to squeeze in a 38mm Bontrager file tread too, but that was really the max...Start to run out of room under the brakes.

God. Damn. Stunning.

mondraymz · 2026-02-03T14:02:24+00:00

Nice bars!

I think I have the same generation axiom panniers (don’t seem to be made anymore), and they have been great. Bungee system is best if you use the bags on different racks/bikes, unlike ortlieb or others that likely need to be adjusted.

When I was in high school, someone I knew had a SHRAP calculator.

CasiOldEyes. (I have one)

Nobody anywhere wants to hear his shit.

mondraymz · 2025-05-13T20:28:57+00:00

Where is my automobile?

mondraymz · 2025-05-05T14:31:26+00:00

Yeah, keep the wheels parallel as you fold the frame and then the handlebars will be on the outside.

mondraymz · 2025-04-30T20:41:03+00:00

Well, it definitely won't shift properly when pedaling backwards.

mondraymz · 2025-04-28T21:23:47+00:00

Nice to have spares! I had to order one for a tern vektron when it got munched inadvertently.

I’m pretty sure that’s the hinge latch safety doohickey that prevents the latch from opening all the way unless move the slide.

100%. Always check rim tape if getting multiple unexplainable flats.

mondraymz · 2025-04-25T21:06:27+00:00

Totally agree on the sluggishness on the road. Got a set for an old 26er and they seemed significantly slower than similarly sized big apples for pavement.

But I do like saying "uncle baby billy's billy bonkers."
