As far as I can tell, the Paul cantis are 110$ and IRD are 80$. The thing I like about both of them that puts better than Tektro is that BMX style sealed pivot mechanism with simpler tension control. I wouldn't doubt they are a little less flexy as well.

I prefer headset mounted cable hangers. Less cable housing. Straight line of cable down the headtube looks pretty. Especially if you can get one of the Quick Release diacomps. Set it up in reverse as a parking lock.

for front racks, that little sunlite is fine for the price. it's aluminium, so don't load it up with too much beer. If you go chromoly lookat blackburn or jandd too. Maybe get something with pannier rails for the price.

for fenders, get the ~40mm SKS fenders. Beige would look great on a dark blue bike.

> I mean a single Paul brake costs about 3 times as much as a pair of tektro brakes.
Not really, I just paid like $120something per brake for a pair of TRDs, I forget the exact amount but those Pauls look like they cost about $100, hence not 3 times as much as tektro.

Christ almighty, did you read the thread.
You can get a pair of tektro CR720s for 40 bucks.
One Paul cantilever costs 110.
It's right here. In this very thread.

And yes, there's a difference between Tektros and TRPs.

To my defence I have to say I ride around the city, mostly flat, so lower front gear is too low and, since it's the city, the higher gear is too high for all the fucking stops. I shift the rear one a plenty.

It's not so much about what people choose, but what facilities they're given to do so. People take public transit in certain cities because it's simply more practical, and there's no reason governments should go out of their way to make cars more attractive, and not public transit, when the latter means a guarantee that everyone, not just people who can and want to drive a car, is able to move efficiently, and without getting stuck in traffic jams. Transportation is a public service as basic as water and power, and I see no reason why governments should not provide them, while instead providing facilities for the use of private motor vehicles.

Quoted By:

The fight over streetcars in the 1940s and 1950s was basically a proxy war between two massive corporations, GE and GM. The former favored continued expansion and maintenance of the nation's existing streetcar systems due to the profits it received from supplying these systems with electrical machinery and equipment, while the latter favored scrapping electric streetcars entirely and replacing them with buses and highways, due to the profits such developments would provide them as an auto manufacturer.

This outcome of this conflict was not predetermined but contingent on a variety of factors. One of the most important being that GM had better propaganda. GM's rhetoric was that cars = freedom, and since this was taking place during the Cold War it was hard to argue against car culture without looking like a commie. Had this battle and conspiracy taken place in the 1920s or 1930s it likely would have been a much different outcome.

Take a look at the films below. Which ones seem more appealing from the perspective of a middle-class American in the 1950s?
