The web site does describe the mudflap girls as "tacky"...or perhaps
that's because they are stick on...hmm.

And a four pack. Two sets of mudflap girls at the same time ...

The rim reflectors are from a company called Fun Reflectors ([link]

I don't have a wife or a girlfriend but I do have some recommendations.
Lately I've been loving Ibex woolie tops for riding and just wearing
around. They're better looking and also more comfortable than the Riv
stuff. My favorite style is the zip T-neck.

That is indeed a Sturmey Archer hub. And yes, the cabling and
mounting is much cleaner than the Rohloff, although that's a very fine
unit as well. I particularly like the J-Tek bar-end shifter (many
thanks to the member on this list who let me know about them, and to
Jim at Hiawatha Cycles for getting it to me).

I recently took my MKS touring pedals off my commuter because there
was a horrible creak coming from them. I am now using my Grip Kings. I
did order one of those MKS dust cap wrenchs from Rivendell last week,
along with some other things, and so will soon be back to using the
touring pedals on my commuter after I regrease the pedals. I find that

You're right. MUSA is made to fit a male body. The upside is that
Grant likes clothing that fits loose and comfortable, so MUSA stuff
tends to be designed on a full cut.
For things that are more female-form-fitting and even "girly", I
really like SWRVE ([link]). It's US-made apparel

The reflective tape on Eric's wheel is more eligant that what I did.
I purchased some relfective tape from RBW and cut it into short
lengths and stuck it between the spokes.

I also put reflective tape ON the spokes.

Very cool.
Speaking of Sturmey, it looks like the 3-speed fixed hub is finally
available....in europe:

One of those would be fun on a quickbeam!

Making MKS Touring Pedals greasable.

angusle...@sbcglobal.net (Angus) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 03:15:24 UT

A few years ago I made the MKS touring pedals on my All-Rounder/
Atlantis "greaseable." I like to "re-grease" these pedals if I spend
a lot of time riding in the rain (they are not sealed very well), and
I really don't want to disassemble them to do this. These pedals have
been spinning smoothly for quite a few years now.
