    Alas, no, just a couple plug-in versions.

    Ah, well, continued pandemic-caused-underemployment has at least some small advantage..

    Ha- if this winter is anything like last, there'll be a loooong stretch with snow on the ground!

    My T900 evolution continues... finally found some available (& reasonably priced) Nitto B135 handlebars. The Soma Highway One compact bars were a good transition as I got back into cycling, but soon felt too compact. The randos are a big improvement- some more reach, the flared drops are more...

    Howdy from ST600 owner

    Loved the '90 ST600 I had.... Starting to love the T900 I have now (still needs some tweaking....). Have you ever repainted the frame? It looks spotless in the photos!

    Headset replacement...

    Once again, thx black lightning!

    Headset replacement...

    Thanks, black lightning! The headset that's currently on there has a brake cable hanger and 4 washers/spacers under that... if I'm trying to get the stack height of what's on there, do I include all the spacers and the cable hanger? Just one spacer?

    Headset replacement...

    My '97 T900 has a Tange-Seiki SE-II headset that is pretty seriously 'indexed'/notched (with the wheel/stem/bars on it's really just the significant straight-ahead index I feel, but with them off it all feels pretty notchy & grindy)... I know one can get a bit more life out of an indexed headset...

    'Best' years for vintage Cannondale touring bikes?

    The brake noodle solution to handlebar bag/STI cable clearance seems to have worked a treat, at least pedaling around the yard to test things out. Just enough clearance for the bag and keeps the cables out of the way of opening it. The 7sp system lives on...

    Well, the new M591 RD was pretty quick and easy to put on and set up and is a definite improvement. I think the old one was just worn out (& a little bent, too...). Wondering what you've got in your stash of stuff in terms of handlebars, Black Lightning....?

    Sorry, M567..... OK, I did just order the next step up in reading glasses today as a matter of fact....
