Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too.

Moots layback Post

I've been on a mission to de-carbonify and titaninate my Moots Vamoots. First was a Moots stem. And now a layback post to replace the carbon Campagnolo Record post. Next I am looking into a titanium fork from Black Sheep. Schweet.

Garmin 500

My Garmin 305 has been a great tool, but after a few years of abuse, it has given up the ghost, with buttons broken and the heart rate monitor dead. I had been thinking about going for the whiz-bang color version, but really, I'm not looking at maps. So I was very happy when a Garmin rep told me about the 500. It looks perfect. I look forward to trying it out.
