Paul Component Engineering
I am a very big fan of Paul Component Engineering. For this reason I am posting about their new seatpost. I will let the Paul text speak for the post.
Tall and Handsome Seatpost
| Our new Tall and Handsome isn’t the lightest seat post ever made, though it may be among the easiest to use and nicest looking. Like all PAUL products it’s built to the highest standards for function and ease of use.
The Tall and Handsome has a generous setback of 26mm. If you do not like setback in your seat post do not buy this one, but if you ride a Brooks saddle that you can’t get quite far enough back you’ll love this seat post. The head and shaft are made from a special high strength 2024 aluminum alloy. The shaft is precision ground to 27.2mm and the head is machined separately before being screwed and glued into the shaft. The two bolts sit on spherical washers that allow them to pivot and self align to the cradle. The clamp can be adjusted to tilt the saddle’s nose up or down with a range of roughly 15 degrees, and precise angle adjustments are made by loosening one screw and tightening the other. Fore and aft position is adjusted by loosening both screws and equal amount and moving the saddle. Because we use two screws slippage is eliminated. |

Duo Hardwood Bikes by Renovo and Audi
New bikes from Renovo in collaboration with Audi. Interesting to look at, but what about the ride?

Grasshopper Fenders
Planet Bike has come out with these incredibly beautiful Bamboo fenders. They are made from fast growing Moso Bamboo with a durable marine grade top coat finish. These would look amazing on my wife’s Bianchi Valle.

Ghost Bike?????
The first time I saw one of these I thought it was pretty nice. Now it looks too much like a ghost bike. Strommen makes these to order for 700.00 euros. Straight from Sweden.

While on The Subject of Wit
This is a a unique approach to recycling bicycles.
This week: Peugeot PRN10 ’78
€ 450,00 (and only 10 kg)
An UPCYCLED bike is a bicycle from the golden age of road cycling (’70s and early ’80s), reborn as a new favourite ride for daily use and leisure. It is single speed. Not fixed – it has two brakes! And by replacing all vital elements by new, high quality parts, a highly functional, lightweight and stylish bicycle is created.
UPCYCLED bikes are exhibited at De Stadskantine. Every other week, a new one is shown there.
UPCYCLED bikes sell for € 450,00 to € 800,00. They can be purchased at the place they are exhibited, or send me an e-mail at info@witindustries.nl.

Simplicity in design. This fender looks cool, is apparently quite stiff, folds down for storage, and looks good. Here is the link to Wit Industries.

Anjou Velo Vintage
This looks like so much fun. A vintage ride through the Loire Valley. Here is some text explaining what it’s all about.
Hi !
I am pleased to inform you that the County Council of Maine-et-Loire will organize the “Anjou Vélo Vintage” which is a Vélo-retro vintage Bicycle event. It will take place along the Loire valley, France on the 19th of June 2011.
This French original and friendly event will gather all the people interested in the retro bicycles, fixies, single speeds… It also concerns the nostalgics of the legends of cycling racing and vintage lovers.
You will have the choice between 3 different marked paths: 29 km, 73 km, 104 km which let you discover the Anjou along the Loire Valley and its vineyards. This ride is the perfect opportunity to taste and to enjoy the local products at some strategic places on the marked path.
I would be very grateful if you consider our event and please let speak about it on your Facebook page and on your blog.
