I think that half my gear and clothes came from REI Garage Sales. I've gotten some awesome things for cheap cheap there over the years. Too many to list them all. Right now I'm wearing an Isis fleece...

I used to ride a 42cm Pacer. I'm 5'2". The fit was good for me. It did have toe overlap but I don't do track stands so it wasn't a concern. I really liked the bike. Not as light and fast as many...
I've been lurking on his blog forums for quite some time now. I'm always interested in frugal living discussions.
A second arrest has been made. Drugs.
I've been following this story as I'm from the Massachusetts North Shore area. I didn't know any of the riders, but they all lived close to Ipswich (where I am from).
What's with the police totally...

I don't know anything about this bike but it might be in your size range.
Glad you found out it was only needing a cable.
I still have 9 speed STIs on some of my bikes and I like them and hope they will last a long time.
If I do need a new set of 9sp STIs in the future...
Happy Bike Day!

Heh. I have 7 bikes. On one hand I'd like to have less bikes to be more minimalist but I really like all the bikes I have. I'll just let attrition take care of it.
On the other hand I'm not...

It looks like it would make a nice little touring frame. Looks like about a 13" size....

Here is a discussion from a couple years back on touring bikes for petite riders. Yes I participated in it....
I have a 42cm LHT frame/fork for sale but it may be too big for you. It has kind of a high standover (70cm).
Are you looking for a bike to do true fully loaded touring? 4 panniers, 20-30 lbs of...
I looked at this ride with interest as it starts at my front door. But it's not a ride for frugal folks. I have ridden many of the roads on this tour and they are great!
If you do this ride and...
