Bikes like this tend to want to go straight, and are less sensitive to rough pavement, body-weight shifting, and cross winds. This is a VERY good characteristic to have on a randonneuring bike you'll be riding for many hours, when you're so tired you can't see/steer straight!jim ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02161517903295268167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-87296926179857167382009-10-07T17:33:53.485-07:002009-10-07T17:33:53.485-07:00oh yeah, my riding partner for the day also made a...oh yeah, my riding partner for the day also made a flickr set:<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/yb2ltyf<br /><br />best,<br />leeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100227166103506687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-29001559892620932672009-10-07T16:56:02.857-07:002009-10-07T16:56:02.857-07:00great ride report! you guys seemed to have such gr...great ride report! you guys seemed to have such great spirit on your ride. the rando folks said about 75% of the people who rode were new, and that for many of us (me included) it was the longest they had ever ridden at one time. i was on my 8-speed utility bike and it treated me very well, too. the frenchie's gonna go down in local lore fo sho...<br /><br />some pic links!:<br />http://tinyurl.com/yez93ap<br />http://tinyurl.com/yb2ltyf<br />http://tinyurl.com/y9frfwd<br /><br />best,<br />leeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100227166103506687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-71487553828228242522009-10-07T15:27:11.336-07:002009-10-07T15:27:11.336-07:00Meligrosa, What a fun blog.

Where as my 20yr old<br />city bike is rock steady. I think it has to do with the<br />wheel base, which is longer on older bikes. Rule of thumb for myself, don't go out for drinks on the road bike.<br />Jon CUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169247929918392250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-84051671314719637512009-10-07T14:12:50.454-07:002009-10-07T14:12:50.454-07:00You go, Ladies!

Something about old bikes, I could do some crazy maneuvers, juggle, and still ride"<br /><br />That's French townie geometry. The road bike is a weight shift steerer. Shift your weight suddenly, over you go. The French townie is a handlebar steerer. Don't bump the bars suddenly, or over you go, but you can dance the fandango on the thing and it just keeps its line.<br /><br />Another nice ride report and yay for coffee!kfgnoreply@blogger.com
