I'd rather ride them than read about them.

I did not know his partner was diagnosed with cancer, terrible news but hopefully all will be well. I really like the videos that she is in usually.

I actually went to his store last week and put a few things in my cart (I like those bridgestone/party pace pins, I will pick up a few things.

edit - his watercolors are real nice. I would have bought an original, he is under pricing those so no wonder they are all sold out. I ended up buy a print, it will be nice in the bike room. Also a pin and a few stickers

Did you buy this one -----^ ? He painted it inspired by a picture I took. I messaged him about buying it but he never replied. I am still looking to buy it.

I think he did and my 2004 Rambouillet certainly fits the specs.

Cheers.

I think GP might have had a hand but I would not say he started it. I am not sure I would say it was 1 person that started.

not that one but that is very sweet. However I like your picture more than the watercolor, missed opportunity with the green and the fog that coulda been really cool.

If I did, it would have just been a postcard. He was sold out of prints for a long while. Try him again. He just moved shop I think.

This is an interesting question. Would eddy have climbed better with a NR triple ? I guess he would have had to retrain himself, and learned to put up with the stigma. I think the evidence seems to show that a higher cadence would have been more efficient. I guess the downsides would be weight and higher Q factor?

I thought it was this guy who began the All-Road revolution.

Nope. That would be the Schwinn Varsity. They sold a billion of the and have been ridden on all roads.

Bianchi had very nice All Roads, er, Hybrids with drop bars, in the late '80's.

"All Roads" are nothing new just more marketing spin.

My dad started going on Jobst's rides and when I was 14 or 15 years old, and he was introduced to his epic rides and rigid set of logic and principles as a German engineer. His rides went deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains on road bikes, and there were no cell phones of course. Self-reliance was key, in how you rode, and what you rode. If you broke down out there, nobody was going to wait; you really were on your own, so there was an unspoken pressure to not ride any questionable equipment. And Jobst would let you know if he thought your bike wasn't up to snuff. We were all on tubular tires those days and bikes were not as durable or as capable as they later became. The bike industry hadn't yet developed modern test standards to refine equipment, so from Jobst I learned the concept of "personal fatigue testing". The world may never know how many cranks and BB axles that Jobst broke. He'd try to help, too. While riding in Europe he'd visit Cinelli, DT and Campagnolo and try to share his opinions on how to improve parts, but they weren't ready to listen...

Most notably, Jobst knew rides that nobody else knew. If I found narrow tire tracks way off the paved roads in the Santa Cruz Mountains, I knew they were his...

Yes, and he is tall too.
