I'm sure if I bugged them about it, they would order one... I've looked at US 'Dutch' bike shop websites (we don't have any around here for sure!) but they only seem to have big-ticket items for sale online.<br /><br />Love your bicycle collection! One for every purpose, huh?Step-Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568478913918338651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440844456463948816.post-75247116827072966712010-01-19T14:30:23.771-05:002010-01-19T14:30:23.771-05:00great blog!

I know Filligree/Lovely Bicycle! likes the Minoura mounts (and my darling Beau hates them).<br /><br />Christa - It snows here once a year or so... That is the Takara (aka Blue Belle).

I have only encountered one place domestically offering rain capes, two (if you count Amazon) with Ree Lights, but I have never seen these trio bands.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.velo-orange.com/batterylights.html" rel="nofollow">Velo Orange</a> has a few different down-low lighting options. I've used the one that bands to the fork and have liked it.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543885050321293352noreply@blogger.com
