Gear Talk / Re: Cycling Shorts vs. Padded Liners?

« on: December 28, 2011, 04:36:42 pm »

I have used cycling shorts and liners in my shorts. I have worn out the liners on my bibs (I only wear bibs) and tried a pair of liners from REI with my worn out shorts and they work great. I also saved some money this way. I also ride a Brooks B-17 and will not ride on any other saddle!!!!I have spent $100's of dollars on saddles and the B-17 is the best for me. Some FYI if you buy liners buy the liner the same size as your normal sized skivvies. Liners come in small,med,large,x-large. For example if you wear 34-36 skivvies a large liner will work. Hope that helps. I ride road and mtb and so far all is well. Good Luck!! Ride Safe

I am new to bike touring not cycling in general. I have researched different bikes and I currently own 6 Treks I am a Trek nut so....I am looking for a Trek 720 made in America bike. I know they are far and few but I am holding out that I will find one. I am 5'-9" with an inseam of 30". From what I have figured out I would need a 19" - 20" frame or 54cm to 56cm. I would take a complete bike or a frame and fork combination.If you have one that you would like to sell or know of one for sale please e-mail me or call. Thanks for your help and I hope to see you on the roads of America.

South / Cycling The Natchez Trace

« on: October 06, 2011, 07:40:57 am »

Has any one here done the Trace from end to end? I am thinking of doing this ride in the near future and trying to decide if I want to do it fully self contained or have a sag follow. What time of year would be a good time also. Also advise on camping facilities and what to expect as far as elevation changes. I will most likely start at the Nashville end and go south. If I do fully supported I need to figure out how to get back to N'ville or return back to my home in North Carolina.
Thanks

I believe I e-mailed you before about this frame.Do you still have the frame? I have been doing some measuring and research I believe this frame when built up will fit me. Please let me know if you still have the frame and I will get back with you for a definite buy or pass answer. You can e-mail me at goncampn@hotmail.com and could you please send photos again.
Thanks
