Ti vs steel....I've had off the shelf and customs of each. I don't really prefer one material over the other.

I'm liking the G-One Allround in 40c for road and light gravel if I could only pick one tire. I was running the Terra Speeds, but seem to prefer the Allrounds - not sure why, though. The Allrounds...

Ive heard rumor of an event next spring on the old Almanzo 100 course. Different name for the event, of course. Look for it in the spring.

Well, I'm thinking volume wise, tube and smaller tools under the seat. Pump? does everyone use CO2 inflaters only, or does everyone also carry a backup mini-pump? In any case, a mini pump and CO2...
