"I have no comment on those. I am a huge fan of the Banjo market pannier...http://banjobrothers.com/products/current/panniers/market-pannier/. I commute to the loop everyday using this with a 14" inch laptop.  they carry gym clothes and a…"

"Based on this thread I've dropped teh Sheldon method as I have a recently expensive bike! "

"hmm..I'll have to think about that but I'm sure you are right.  I probably park my bike 4-6x a day 350 days a year and have never ever seen a locked tire like this."

"seems strange.  There is no wheel in there.  Lock isn't cut.  How could you remove wheel and not the tire? Does not compute."

"I believe this is an aberration...that kind of stuff is rarely stolen and there is obviously no resale value for it. Sounds like some strange thief."

"Okay I just realized i replied to a post from 2011. I forgot the curious way these message boards are set up - old threads get updated and then are moved to the home page. Carry on."

"wow..I've never heard of a rack stolen.  I'm assuming they stole it for personal use because I can't imagine there is any market for a used rack.  That locations seems to be hit a lot for what it's worth.  "

"definitely..I really wanted to go.  Also now that it's warm I do long rides on the weekends up to the north shore..great if you can join me on one of those. have a good trip!"

"Thanks...never understood this branded steel names business.  For the OP I will say that steel is a good choice if you want a smoother ride and the comfort of a stiffer bike offsets the added weight. btw I didn't mean to suggest you had…"

"Here's yet one more set of opinions. I have Reynolds 520 on one of my bikes and really like it.  when I was up at your weight I used it too and it was fine. Fit is the most important think when buying a bike. Learn to read the geometry…"

"I own two bikes, one steel, both bought from bikesdirect.com.  I've had great experiences with them as have my friends.  However, you need to know the fit with some degree of confidence before you buy a bike from them.  Most of…"

"yes that was it..the problem is then it seems that doesn't leave much time to enjoy beer. I didn't buy a vip ticket and the slovenly masses are only able to get in @2. What a shitty policy. When I run the world that will change.  so…"

"do you have directions and everything or do I have to print those? We both have events saturday night so will probably catch the 4:40 train back to chicago."

"Serge I have a friend who is planning on coming to though he wont' run. Are you still planning on leaving from the fountain at 6:30? Assume  u r taking the LFP down?"
