Did you buy this from the Bay Area? I tried to buy a Voyageur S/P, 27" frame, from Fremont back about a year ago, but it had already sold. Anyway, I had a question for you: do you find that this bike shimmies or is too flexy? I ask because I *like* flexy bikes (and I ride 68cm bikes, like you), but am wondering if double-butted standard gauge tubing (as opposed to the oversized tubing one finds on modern steel bikes) flexes too much under a tall rider? I'm 6'6", about 190 lbs., so not very heavy. I'm thinking of getting a custom, but can't decide between standard and oversized tubing, so any data you could give me would be helpful. (what is the exact tubing, if I may ask?) (and if you decide to sell the bike, contact me first!) regards, Art That’s a great looking bike. Did you buy this from the Bay Area?

There is apache, PHP, etc, for cygwin, but I wouldn't say that it "is like" LAMPP/XAMPP. Not really an emulator, a compatibility layer.

I had to play with the angle a little bit to avoid pressure on my median nerve. The handlebars are these:
