"Mark, missed your message about Kirksville. If you are still looking into opening a shop there, I could put you in touch with some locals."

"You could also take Amtrak to Mendota.  It's about 110 miles from there to Galena, and over half that distance would be in some of the nicest terrain IL has for cycling."

"I'm feeling guilty because I intended to write when you first posted and haven't done it.  Somewhere I have some postcards that came in original copies of Exile on Main Street.  I hope Ezra likes the Stones."

"I used these to map a 100 mile gravel ride in west central IL.  Now if I could find the time to ride the route...   Thanks"

"check with kiltedcelt and see if he sold his"

"Lots to consider on the gearing including terrain and length of your rides.  There are hills where I ride, so I knew from the start that 48/16 wasn't going to work for me.  I ended up with 44/18, which allows me to get over the hills…"

"For odd folks maybe?  I think I might qualify.   Richard Thompson is at or near the top of my want to see list, I'd go see BD, and I've seen the other two.  I'm hoping to see RT in Iowa City, anyone…"

"Sounds like you need 6mm or so closer to the attachment boss.  I'm not sure there's a canti that's going to work. Measure from the center of the canti mount bolt to the center of the pad holder bolt on the FSA, with the pad…"

"Reasonably sure that it's sold."

"Front chainline is pretty easy to measure.  Measure from the edge of the seat tube to the center of the ring, then add 1/2 the diameter of the seat tube.  For the rear, measure from the inside surface of the RH dropout to the center…"

"I've used both high quality turntables and a cheap USB Audio Technica turntable to transfer lps to digital.  I use Cakewalk Pyro software with both.  I really don't notice any difference in sound quality between the 2…"

"I'm with John.  I have a similar build coming up that I plan to do with a double crank.  It will have 2 cogs in the rear on a cassette hub, with the same tooth differential as the chainrings.  That way I can ride on the road with…"

"These were the easiest crankarms I've done because they have no deep grooves or valleys, and the spider is seperate from the drive side arm.  It's tedious work, but I did both of these in one night.  The worst thing to deal with…"

"I can put you in contact with a guy who live in  DC who has done it.  PM me."

"I'm not apologizing for any role I may have had in sending this bike to North Dakota where it will be well used."
