The bike slows down after the dirt portion of the Putnam trail, but if I can't get the mud out with a spray from my bidon, I pop the wheel and scrape it out with a multitool. <br /><br />As soon as I said it, I realized how stupid it sounded.<br /><br />Now I'm worried that I'll do an endo when a twig gets stuck in the mud under the forkcrown. All because I can't bring myself to quit the 28 gatorskins that fit my old bike.dopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-55522174955465846732018-06-27T21:36:54.669-04:002018-06-27T21:36:54.669-04:00Wenge is the german model but pronounced Venge.Wenge is the german model but pronounced Venge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-38668334303737676022018-06-27T20:24:16.204-04:002018-06-27T20:24:16.204-04:00@pbateman, you missed it this year, but info on th...@pbateman, you missed it this year, but info on the most epic of Vermont rides is available at 100-200.org.

I wouldn't have known about them if it weren't for the fact that you're test riding one and blogging about it.<br /><br />My skepticism was fairly high as the Renovo home page loaded. Approximately 20 minutes later, I basically had to mop up the drool from my keyboard for fear of a short-circuit. I don't consider myself to be a materialistic consumer, but there is no denying the craftsmanship and beauty of these bikes. Wanting one is a perfectly reasonable response to spending 20 minutes on their web site.<br /><br /><br /><br />Chazunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-40959489390633821912018-06-27T15:24:16.019-04:002018-06-27T15:24:16.019-04:00@HBEB - i'm jealous of a trip to VT with a bik...@HBEB - i'm jealous of a trip to VT with a bike.
