| Doug - I'm working toward a fixed brevet series... | PdxMark
Jan 14, 2004 2:09 PM | | not a 508, for sure, but a goal I can manage (maybe). This year I'll ride the series multi-gear, then if all goes well plan to do it fixed or SS next year. |

A nice little shop that supposedly has (or had) a few road bikes for rent. THey are a quick trolly ride & short walk from downtown.
What size? If that doesn't work, I have a slick-tired Cannie hard tail you could use.
A ride would be great. (I might have to tighten the hubs on the Cannie to slow you down.) |
