Miss F, I have had no problems with any VO stuff. And, I am certain they would want to replace the bag, or offer you a credit toward any of the others they carry, though the ostrich is the most handsome. BTW, followed the progress on your bike and…

VO is well known for there outstanding customer service. I'd call or email them first. I'm sure they'll set you straight.

I just bought the pannier from VO, and on the third day of use, the seams on the leather strip (on the back of the pannier, toward the bottom), came undone, exposing the metal bar. The bar got caught in the stays of my rear rack + fenders, bending t…

Hey Elaine, did I meet you in the bike lane on Canal a few weeks ago? I was on an Oma and wearing a cap. I think you had an Electra? Happy riding!

I have a confession...I went and saw the show when a friend was in town. John is jealous that I did so. And now my parents might want to go, so I may have to go again. Regardless...it was fun!

Incidentally tomorrow night is the LATE ride. I don't know if I will still be downtown that late, but it's always fun to join in the ride.

I went with woody's. They're made in a garage in Oregon from what I understand. I didn't do much research. Actually I've never heard of any of the other names you mentioned. Just got them today. Can't wait to set 'em up. Lace wood, Wenge, and Purpleheart. Cost just as much as the honjo's too. Couldn't pass it up.

Hope you don't mind, but I had earmarked some cash for fenders and well.. they are wooden... not to step on your style, but had to.
At 3:23pm on July 3, 2009, Frank said…
Yeah. This makes two years in a row that I've missed the tour de fat.
