No personal experience but Bicycle Guide swooned over it several years ago

All the labeling on the box is the same. My experience with the one I
already had has been very good. I haven't had to replace the batteries
yet. 

(The rep I spoke with on the phone said they they do still flash, but it's 
so fast that it is undetectable. It sure looks steady to me!)

These hubs do come in a hyperglide cassette; and they are presently availible.

	I recently got a "great deal" at a surplus store on Specialized's

cost $4.95!!

The catch: no bracket. Nothing, not even the part that ataches to the light
itself. So, now I have this light that makes me look like a member of the
crew of the USS Enterprise (ST:TNG of course...the thing looks like a
phaser weapon...).

	Does anyone have one of the bracket assemblies to give or sell me,
or know how to get one? I'd like to spend less than $15 so I don't end up
spending more than I could have by just paying the damn bike store price,
and feeling like a general wanker when it's all over...

	Note that I need BOTH parts: the shoe for the light and the thingy
that goes on the handlebar.

Bicycle Guide has deteriorarted spectacularly.  Their last two issues 
are grotesque - riddled with typos and generally unreadable, they've
assumed an obnoxious "gee whiz" style.

In one article comparing bikes, they gave the trail in centimeters for
one bike, and inches for another.  They commented on one of the bikes'
"cool pain job."

In the last issue there's a picture labeled (I think) "Duclas LaSalle
winning the Road Worlds with a RockShocks suspension," where it shows
Duclas LaSalle on a road bike with RockShocks.  How he managed to find
cobblestones at the Worlds I don't know, and someone should tell Bugno
to stop wearing that rainbow jersey.

There's a sidebar which contains a picture of someone putting on a 
heart rate monitor.  I don't recall what the sidebar was about, but
it had nothing to do with heart rate monitors.

In an introductory article to the first "new" issue, the editor admitted
that their entire editorial staff put together didn't have the experience
of Samuel Abt, but that they expected to make up for it with enthusiasm.

What's really annoying is I had just finally broken down and subscribed 
to it, as the only glossy actually worth reading.  Just like when I
finally found shoes that fit, the company promptly went out of business.

It appears that they are eliminating the DX and LX series for the new
series LX ( or I have heard it called LXi ).   Noone has started selling
LXi components yet, but why sell it when you have to dump (err.. sell) 
existing LX and DX stock.  

Since all of the '93 bikes have the new LXi stuff on them in 3-6 months
the catalogs will probably start carrying the new components.  Until
then, there are some great deals on DX components.

Hi, I have a Univega Range-Rover 10 with a lot of replaced parts on it.  I

Anyway.  I have friction shifting, and was wondering what the advantage of

has problems with them every now and then.  Would it be worth it to make the

Either way, it sounds like good cause to go with another manufacturer that

I've seen a few decent articles, particularly the one in the last issue
regarding Schwinn; however, I have to agree that I miss the old writers.
Ever since Costantino quit over a year ago, the original writers began
to disappear.  It's kind of odd that only the two writers hired this last
year continued on after the "coup."  I know most people probably don't
care one way or the other, but does anyone know what went on with the
magazine?  Did it have something to do with being absorbed by _Winning_?

	Sundays March 7 to October 3

Time	Race	Distance   BRC Members  Non-members
8:30	E	4 miles		$2	$2
9:15	D	12 miles	$4	$7
10:00	C	20 miles	$4	$7

11:00	A	32 miles	$4	$7
12:30	B	24 miles	$4	$7

All races are held on a 0.8 mile loop in an industrial park.  There 
is only one turn of significance and maybe 20 feet of elevation change
on the loop. 

This is a great place to learn how to race!

All the standard USCF rules on equipment and attire apply, though if
you show up wearing a Banesto jersy we won't give you a hard time.  
A rainbow one is another story however.

E Race consists of five slow laps of instruction followed by a 5 lap race
  (the $2 entry can be applied to the D race if you do it the same day.)

D Race is for first year racers.  This race gives valuable pack riding 
  experience.

C Race is for experienced citizen racers and USCF Cat 5 men. It is faster 
  and longer than the D race.  Primes are offered as well. 

W Race is for citizen and Cat 4 WOMEN.  This will be run at the same time
  as the C race.  If attendance is not enough to justify a separate race, 
  they will race with the C's.  There will be women's primes in that case.

B Race is for USCF cat 3 and 4 racers only.  LICENCES WILL BE CHECKED!
  This may be run as a points race on occasion.

A Race is for USCF Cat Pro,1,2,3 riders only.  This may be run as a 
  points race also.  

Race Series memberships are $20 and give the $3 discount along with other
goodies.  More info is available at registration.  

To get to the races, take Exit 19B from Rt 128.  Take Highland Ave heading 
West.  Make a Left onto Huntington Road followed by another Left onto
Kendrick St.  This turns into Nahanton Street as you enter Newton.  Make
a right on Wells Ave. You should see a sign for the races here.

I don't notice the smell.  But if I shave the salt concentration gives me
one heck of a rash.  Dito for the brow pad.  Unless you rinse these parts
every now and then they will accumulate enough salt to give you a nice
rash.

Ah, but _which_ spuds? Shi*mano does it again with their new DA SPDs.
The pedal and cleats are _incompatible_ with the rest of the SPD pedals.

The few times that they ever mention commuting equipment, they always
set up a $2,000+ commuting bike. Very unrealistic. There are many
companies making equipment that commuters would be interested in.
Much of this equipment isn't in that kind of price bracket.

I have a set of Krietler's which I love. The headwind attachment is a

you only buy them once, then use them for a lifetime.
