Summer 2003 Movies: The Matrix and The Terminator
I am in fat city. With all the depressing economic and political news. It is nice to be able to escape. This has just been an incredible year for my kind of movies. First of course has been Lord of the Rings. I could watch it 100 times in Paul Allen’s Cinerama. But, look what’s…

Shifting — When 27 is really 19
Uncle Al. A great newsletter that I get and some good advice too. This one I haven’t seen covered, but what do you do with the zillions of gears. I haven’t doing it right for a while. DEAR UNCLE AL: I just had a 9-speed drivetrain put on my bike. I’m wondering how many cogs…

Bicycle Stem and Bars
Every 2-3 years, “Lennard Zinn”:http://www.zinncycles.com/ recommends replacing the handlebars. So, I’m off on a search for lightweight set of bars and stem. Right now I have a 3TTT Prima 199 and Icon Sterling Stem. These are pretty light. 200g and 120g respectively, but the Prima is certainly quite flexy. Also, these are 26.0 mm diameter…
