I'd recommend whichever one can fit 28's most effectively, which rules out the Vitus. After that, if all the other three steel frames are equal, the Romic will draw the most attention by those in...

You're welcome to ride what you like. It's been decades since I was riding up mountains with only a 39x25 as a low gear, and steep dirt roads like Kiler and Cypress Mountain don't take kindly to...

You might also try American Cyclery in San Francisco. They tend to stock most of the Soma stuff. They have a website, but it doesn't mention the long cage, so I'd call them at 415-664-4545...

Yes! The riding in that area is brilliant. If you're not starting in Cambria, but rather in Paso Robles / Templeton or Santa Margarita, there are tons of good options for additional routes.

There's also the option of riding down to Cayucos, following the route up Old Creek Road, but then continuing on Old Creek Road rather than taking the turn up Santa Rita Road. You'll hit some steep...

I rode next to Tom for a while in '19 (at the beginning of the ride; once warmed up, he dropped me like the hack that I am). I'm pretty darn sure he was riding SPD's under those glued-on clips and...

If you don't already have wool kit, there's now plenty of "replica" options on eBay. It's synthetic, but looks the part. Search "vintage cycling jersey" or "retro cycling jersey" and you'll see a...

I'm out. And disappointed about it. I'm not a big presence on this board, but I would have liked to have said "hi" to the few people I know / have met. I need to head down that way to take care of...
