Thanks that was a great article.

Interesting points in the paragraph about Chinese manufacture (just
below the photo of the tandem).

"Trade is the one thing in this crazy world that incentivizes
countries to play nice..." and "Those new middle-class [Chinese]
consumers are now customers for American entrepreneurs..."

Obviously, people disagree on these things; but Mark's views don't
seem to be at the forefront just now.

Yes, we understand, you just can't stand reality where the majority
are more important than the minority.

Sheesh, Tom, I didn't state a position one way or the other. Get a
grip!

Yes, he should. Especially given that he is already in at least two
minorities (white people- worldwide but coming soon to America- and
conservatives...). The reason that we have a republic is to not have to
live under mob rule and strongmen. Ironic that the "conservatives"
voted for a classic dictator-style "leader."

The economy n social structure for 'conservative areas' is feudal.

Power is conserved at the top.

Is Habanero still a good choice for a Ti roadbike?

Looks like the price has gone up, 995 now

Y'all won't believe this but now that I've freshened up a beautiful old Fuji for rain, ... ... well, ... the brakes simply do not work in the rain..

Sheldon said that aero levers have much greater mechanical advantage, and it would be interesting to see if those would help. I also have a pair of modolo morpheus brifters I was thinking about putting on. Would have to check the throw to see if - on 7speed setting - it will line up with the six speed freewheel that's on there now. IIRC they were both shimano and campy compatible, I guess either their 7 speed cog spacing are the same, or the modolos have a fine adjustment.
The bike already has barcons which I like. OTOH the reviews say the modolos are good brake levers but not good shifters, so maybe just use them as brake levers.

This thing doesn't have discs and is not a 56 and is not in my town anyway:

Is it a sloping top tube or just the way the pic makes it look?

A Habanero disc brake cross bike. Just need to find one in pristine condition on CL for $750.

They probably don't make them in your size: 46 cm.
