please contact me if interested.

I have a set of Vittoria Canoli 29 x 3" tires for sale.  I rode on them twice. The 2nd time out in the desert in sand.  They were great in the sand and are good snow tires too.
I replaced them with something smaller for local rides. So I need to sell these.  I'm asking $70 shipped in the US.

The Specialized Rime Elite has a fairly wide toe box.  Nothing like an Altra shoe but works OK for me

Used on 4-5 overnights in the desert and a dozen or so local rides so very little use. Great for the beach or desert and everywhere in between.
I had Matthews Custom Cycle add some water bottle braze-ons to each fork for extra water storage. I used spray paint to cover the brazed area on the fork.

Asking $1100  and $120 for shipping  will ship in two boxes. One for frame and one for wheels. Local pickup/ delivery in So Cal

super cool.  congrats to Tom!

actually this Lezyne is better for fat bikes http://www.lezyne.com/product-hpumps-hv-microfldrivexl.php#.WTNrFuvyuM8

the drop is 102 mm according to this article. http://www.bikeradar.com/us/road/gear/category/components/handlebars/handlebars-road/product/ritchey-wcs-venturemax-review-51076/

It seems shallower then the cowchipper which I was using prior to the Ritchey.  The reach seems a bit longer though.  I had to go to a 1cm shorter stem to get the same lever position as the cowchipper.

they have been out for about 6 months. Got mine from Bike24 in Germany

I have been using the new Ritchey Venturemax bar which is similar to the Cowchipper. Both have the hood position for less technical terrain and 24 degrees of flare for the steeps.
The Ritchey has less drop which allows you to use both hand positions without one being too high or too low. It also has a nice ergo bump in the drops which nests your hand nicely.

looks like Kurt will finish tonight.  30 miles to go at 10pm from the top of Coyote Canyon to Idy.

Nice battle up front between Kurt & Hunter. I wonder if they did a Hill St. climb challenge!!

yea I wonder how long they can keep this up... some big climbs ahead

SoCal Crescent hits some optional 6-8k' summit singletracks en route from Hemet to Palm Springs, but also includes the Palm Canyon Epic (or easier variations of it). I rode it for four days a year or two ago and had a blast. No bikepacking route in SoCal will include as much choice ST as this route, but you might be a tad early for some of the goods.

what is this SoCal Crescent route you speak of?  I've never heard of that name before.

mike

Some interesting routes for sure.  The weather can be a factor in May down in the Kernville area.  It can be 90-100 degrees by then.  It's nice to stay in the higher country as much as possible. 
There is some nice singletrack from Camp Nelson up to Quaking Aspen and then down thru the Freeman Creek Grove.  The semi paved road to Lloyd Meadow could be used to come back to Johnsondale
