Transparent caching catching on
August 29, 2013 4:18 pm | by Brian Santo | CommentsTransparent caching is essentially edge caching, ultimately on behalf of OTT providers. Several companies have solutions in which they cut deals with either the MVPDs or with the CDNs to do transparent caching. The amount of equipment that needs to be added can be minimized, and the improvement in quality of service (QoS) ultimately benefits everyone all up and down the value chain.

Retiring Boomers May Not Become Drag on Economy
Published: Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 4:01 a.m.
WASHINGTON | With millions of baby boomers reaching retirement age, fears are mounting of the economic impact if they follow the pattern of previous generations by curbing spending and draining Social Security and Medicare benefits.
But the 78 million boomers — born from 1946 to 1964 — have always broken the mold in terms of setting trends, and some investors and business and community leaders see their retirement as no different. They see an unprecedented, multibillion-dollar opportunity to offer new products and services to an active demographic group that's expected to live longer than previous generations.
When Elizabeth Reighard started her fitness training business in Myrtle Beach, S.C., four years ago, most of her students were in their mid-30s. But now her client list is made up mainly of boomers, such as Mary Smith, 58, who hired Reighard to help her "keep up with the grandkids."
The demand for fitness trainers such as Reighard is expected to jump 24 percent in the next decade, largely because of baby boomers who want to stay healthy longer, according to the Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook released in March.
"I'm seeing it more and more. Seniors know they have to be in better shape to have less aches and pains," said Reighard, who's also a boomer. "Yeah, we're getting older, but our bodies feel good. . I look in the mirror and I might look 51, but I feel 25."
The Census Bureau projects that Americans 65 and older will make up 19 percent of the population by 2030.
Community and business leaders in places such as the coastal towns of Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head and Bluffton, S.C., are looking to the growing retirement community to help rekindle local economies. They're rethinking sporting and shopping developments, as well as art centers, to attract on-the-go retirees looking for an array of easily accessible activities.
On the labor front, the health care industry is the most obvious benefactor of a longer-living active community. Demand for home health aides is expected to grow 70 percent in the next decade, according to the Department of Labor.
Demand also will be high in less obvious fields, such as for architects, who will be called on to build senior-friendly communities; financial advisers to help boomers plan their retirements; recreation workers, who will lead boomer-tailored excursions; and job trainers, who will teach the new workers called on to replace retirees.
"It's only in Washington that 100 million people are viewed as an unaffordable cost and financial burden," said Jody Holtzman, a senior vice president at AARP. "In the private sector, 100 million people are called a market and an opportunity."
The Congressional Budget Office warned in June of a shortfall for entitlement programs, as aging boomers would consume a "significant and sustained" share of benefits from Social Security, Medicare and long-term-care services financed by Medicaid, the health care program for the poor.
Those projections fail to take into account that boomers are expected to work longer and they've never followed in the footsteps of previous generations, said Matt Thornhill, an author of "Boomer Consumer," a book that examines marketing to the baby boomer generation.
"We became the generation of consumption and personal gratification," Thornhill said. "Boomers are not going to spend at all like the prior generations did at 65. They're going to spend at boomer levels. And there's millions more of them."
Jeet Singh, who helped develop e-commerce software used by online retailers such as Best Buy and J. Crew, said retirees hadn't been treated with respect in terms of offering them well-designed high-quality products that meet their needs without announcing their ages.
"You just can't fight the numbers," said Singh, a co-founder of Redstar Ventures and previously Art Technology Group. "All these people are out there. They have needs. Whether it's what they eat, what they buy, where they shop, how they vacation. And I'm not even talking about health care, which is in itself a massive market."
In Myrtle Beach, community leaders see opportunity in boomers' wealth and desire for independent lifestyles. The 65 and older population in Horry County grew 56 percent from 2000 to 2010 and it now makes up 17 percent of the county, according to census data. Brad Dean, the head of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, expects a "tidal wave" of boomers coming to t for the weather, the beach and an array of sporting and entertainment activities.
He said boomers were the leading purchasers of homes after the real estate crash.
Sam Farber created Oxo Good Grips in 1990 when he noticed that his wife had trouble holding kitchen tools because of arthritis, according to the company's history. Farber saw a business opportunity in creating more comfortable cooking tools. Oxo now makes more than 850 products that appeal across generations.
Holtzman of AARP likes to share that story when he's trying to inspire new entrepreneurs. He's met with hundreds of venture capitalists, encouraging them to ask one additional question when entrepreneurs approach them seeking startup money: "What's your 50-plus plan?"
"The one question a startup doesn't want to get from its board of directors is this one: 'Why did you leave money on the table by ignoring a market of 100 million people with $3.5 trillion to spend?'" he said.

This was a gift for our daughter and her first child. She loved it and so did we. Thanks for getting it to us so fast. It was exactly like the picture.
I am a mom of six and have owned just about every brand of stroller and type. From very expensive to cheap. This stroller so far (almost 4 months) is awesome. It is better than a $400 set I bought with baby #2. The colors are pretty but a nice deviation from the sickly over the top pinks and purples. It is light, fits very nicely in the back of our big expedition or our tiny fiesta so both big and little vehicles. The car seat is very easy to take in and out and the stroller folds and opens easily. An added plus if you have other little people getting out in a busy parking lot. The only down side and reason I gave it 4 stars are because we noticed the car seat doesn't fit in some standard restaurant car seat holders. But one of us is usually holding her instead of keeping our baby stuffed in the seat when we aren't in the car or walking around. However, the few times we tried to put her in and it didn't fit it was a little annoying. I would definitely purchase this set again!
This is the cutest girl stroller around!! and amazing for the price.. it is SUPER easy to fold up and throw in the back of the car and it is a very safe stroller and an extremely safe carseat!!!! im sure my baby will LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Great stroller, I haven't run into anyone else that has it. The car seat adjust easily and goes from the car to the stroller quickly. It has plenty of storage, a fresh look, folds easily and is light enough to get in the trunk without a problem !
My sister loved this for her baby shower gift. She got another stroller but feel in love with this one
Happy with item overall. Only issue I have is that some of the parts are plastic and breakable.
She absolutely loves this stroller. For the baby she wanted something that was not overly pink and this fits the bill perfectly. The fact that it comes with a matching car seat is a bonus and for this price you can't go wrong.
I wanted matching items and researched quite a few before settling on this one. Price was very reasonable, plus I used one of the online email coupons to get an even better deal. Car seat comes with a base also which I was not expecting (should read more closely I guess!). The base and car seat were easy to install. The stroller has minor assembly with wheels and handlebar (not done yet) but that should not be any problem. Colors are vibrant, products seem sturdy and should last. For what I spent on a car seat, base and stroller...very satisfied with this purchase!
Carseat light. Stroller easy to open. Didnt like the way the sun visor part just dangles. Overall good product
I purchased this as a gift and had it sent to her. She likes it a lot.

Marcum seeks first win facing Medlen, Braves
Atlanta looks to bounce back after being swept in twin bill Tuesday
One day after sweeping the Braves in a doubleheader, the Mets are getting back to business as usual.
Mets starter Shaun Marcum isn't just hoping for a good day at the ballpark, he needs one. The veteran struggled in his last outing, allowing six runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Cubs, and he's still winless on the season.
Marcum's ERA keeps rising and his spot in the rotation is becoming more precarious. The Mets are operating with a six-man rotation and somebody is eventually going to get moved to the bullpen.
The Mets have not announced when a decision will be made.
"He's a professional," Mets manager Terry Collins said after Marcum's last start. "He knows you've got to go out and get the job done. Down the road, that's a long way off right now. I don't know what we're going to do."
Braves starter Kris Medlen could use better results. He felt good in his last outing against the Giants but was victimized by a flurry of two-strike hits in a losing effort. In the end, he was charged with four runs on nine hits in six innings.
"I felt like I was ahead of guys, and it's just one of those frustrating games, really," Medlen said. "They're a team that doesn't strike out a lot. They lead the Major Leagues in not striking out, so they put the balls in play."
Strikeouts might not be a problem for Medlen on Wednesday. He racked up a season-high nine strikeouts in his only other appearance against the Mets this year.
Mets: Turner lands on disabled list
• The Mets placed Justin Turner on the disabled list Tuesday with a strained left intercostal muscle.
"Those intercostals, I think it will only be 15 days," Collins said. "He did get an injection, but you just never know. It's the injury of the 2000s. Nobody knows how long they're going to take."
• Marlon Byrd has five home runs and nine RBIs this month. He also hit five home runs in May and has seven home runs in his last 18 games.
• Prospect Travis D'Arnaud, who has been rehabbing a broken bone in his left foot, was examined at the Hospital for Special Surgery and has been cleared to begin a running progression program.
• Evan Gattis was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday with a right oblique strain he suffered in Monday night's 2-1 win over the Mets. The Braves recalled infielder Tyler Pastornicky from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Gattis' spot on the roster.
"I guess it was just an awkward swing on a slider," Gattis said. "I was trying to check the swing, and it just grabbed me on my right oblique."
Gerald Laird will be Brian McCann's primary backup while Gattis is sidelined.
• The Braves are 4-22 in games in which they do not hit a home run this season and 38-9 in games with a home run.
Worth noting
• The Braves are 28-6 this season when scoring first.
• Mets third baseman David Wright trails San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval by 126,403 votes at the position in the latest All-Star ballot update. Wright gained more than 75,000 votes in the last week.
• The Braves are the last team in the big leagues this season to have used only five starting pitchers, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

SKHA gains national attention for cost-effectiveness, efficiency The Salish Kootenai Housing Authority was given some national recognition Aug. 17 for its participation in a project called "Joint Venture for Affordable Housing" (JVAH). The JVAH project is an effort by federal administrators and local housing authorities to stretch existing Housing and Urban Development (HUD) dollars by building cost-effective housing while maintaining good quality. HUD picked a project being done by SKHA and evaluated it according to various criteria. SKHA's project 13-29 met all the requirements, qualifying it for special recognition from the federal administration. SKHA was one of three Indian reservation housing authorities to submit an entry. Among other criteria, SKHA was recognized for reducing the cost per unit which went from $80,000 in 1983 to $50,000 in 1988. According to a status report from the Regional Housing Commissioner, Grady Franklin Maples, SKHA was mentioned as showing "continued administrative improvement". SKHA was granted a regulatory waiver, allowing them to administer the contract almost entirely without HUD involvement or concurrence. "Since SKHA's Administrative Capabilities Assessment scores are some of the highest in the country and SKHA continues to exhibit a high (Concludes on page two) Public's invited to Blue Bay grand opening The Tribal Health Department and its Alcohol Program cordially invite everyone to attend the grand opening of the Blue Bay Healing Center (east on Highway 35) on Saturday, Aug. 27, from 1 to 8 p.m. On the agenda are: 2-to-4 p.m., a feast; 4 p.m., a drawing for $250.; at 4:30, a grand opening ceremony; and tours of the facility and discussions on the healing process throughout the afternoon. 'The Blue Bay Healing Center is a truly unique substance-abuse prevention project developed by the Tribes," notes the press release announcing the Aug. 27 event "Funded by the Office of Substance Abuse, its goal is to intervene in the generational cycle of substance abuse by engaging the entire Reservation in a healing process. This is done by bringing about awareness of the effects of the disease on the individual, the family, the community and the Tribes. This is the goal that has been developed in the project at Blue Bay and has become the dream of many Tribal members."

Mrs Beautiful 10-piece set. My daughter loved it. The colors are true as the picture hot pink on black for the pillows, the comforter is hot pink on the reverse side. The sheets have pretty hot pink bows on them. I found a similar set at other stores, but they were either 5-pieces or 8-pieces for either the same price or more. Glad I went to Overstock to make my purchase. But, be patient when waiting for the shipment.

Poor Product/ Great Service First of all, this review is for the PRODUCT, not for Overstock. They provided wonderful service when I contacted them about my issues. However, I wish that there had been more similar reviews prior to my purchase so that I could have saved my daughter the disappointment. Before buying this product, you should know: the pillows, bedspread and shams are each made with different material, so they colors do not match exactly. Since it was such a great price, I was willing to accept that (however, had I seen it in person, I would not have purchased it from the start.) The concern prompting return was due to washability/ durability. I noticed one faded crinkle-spot from the start, but, since this was what my daughter wanted, I decided I could live with it, I then washed the bedspread prior to using it. As it was black, I expected, perhaps, some minor fading. However, the fabric faded to white everywhere the fabric creased in the washing (washed in a super high capacity washer on gentle with cold water.) This created a permanent crinkle look all over the bedspread. Unless you plan to never wash the bedspread, I would recommend choosing a different set.

Not perfect but pretty good Before purchasing this bedding set I read the reviews and knew what I was getting into. The reviews were correct. If you are looking for bedding that is comfy... this won't do. If you are looking for bedding that looks great and has a great price tag, this is the set for you.

Cute but such a pain This is really cute, my daughter loves it. Great price for all that is included. However, each morning when my 6 year old wakes up, her sheets and the comforter are a mangled mess in th floor. The materials the bedding is made of is very slick and makes it difficult to actually keep on the bed durin the night! Overall I am pleased and my daughter is happy.

I have been making pizza for a few years now as a hobby at least twice a week. My recipe is unorthodox from everything else I have read here , and all the books I have read. I have taken the best recipes and pointers and came up with this fairly quick and easy recipe which I now use exclusively. This dough gives a a thin crisp outer crust with nice moist inner crust with a good chew and alot of flavor. Here we go:
3 cups Stone-Buhr unbleached white bread flour
1.5 tsp Kosher salt
1 Tbls honey
1/2 tsp saf yeast
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup ROOM TEMERATURE water
1)Place the yeast in the kitchen-aid mixer bowl. Add the honey with the water. hand whisk and let sit for ten minutes.
2)In a seperate bowl, mix the flour and the salt.
3) Pour the flour mixture into the mixer, put on the dough hook , and mix slowly scraping the sides with a spatula if neccessary until the flour forms a ball. Turn off the machine and let the dough rest 5 minutes.
4)Now for the unorthodox part that gives this dough a great crust in a short time. Place a measuring cup full of water in the microwave until it boils and steams up the microwave.
5)add the tsp of oil to the dough and mix for ten minutes until the dough is nice and smooth and elastic.
6)place the dough ball in an oiled metal bowl, DO NOT COVER and place in the warm moist microwave until the dough doubles in bulk, about 2 hours.
7)Heat the oven to 425 and place your stone wherever it works best.
after the dough has risen, flour your hands and cut the dough in two equal pieces. Take each piece of doughplace in your hands and form two mushroom-like balls with them. Place them on a lightly floured plate and let rest for 20 min.
9) Flour your peel, shape your crusts, apply your sauce and toppings and bake until done.( about 8 mins ).
A few things here the die-hards will notice.
1) I dont us a lot of oil and I don't mix it until the ball forms. In my experience oil makes the dough heavy and lifeless so I use very little.
2) I do not let the dough rise in the refrigerator. I did this for years, and It does make the dough easier to handle , but I also think part of a great dough is letting the yeast work in a warm, humid enviroment not a cold dry one.
3) I also do not use high gluten flour. It is just too much of a hassle to get. The Stone-Buhr bread flour works great and is also consistent.
Let me hear some opinions.

Thanks for sharing your recipe.
When I used to make pizza dough for same day consumption, I often used the microwave approach you describe. I would use the microwave to bring a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup filled with water to a boil, and then put the dough (in its own bowl) into the microwave along with the water in the Pyrex measuring cup. If it was cold in my kitchen, I sometimes had to repeat the cycle a second time. This approach created a "proofing box" effect, although I didn't think of it as such at the time. Alternative approaches I used were to put a bowl of dough into a larger container (metal) filled with hot (but not boiling) water, or to preheat and turn off the oven and put the bowl of dough into the oven to rise. These were all tips that I had read about along the way.
When I have a chance, I plan to try out your recipe as you have recited it. The Stone Buhr bread flour is a West Coast product, but I assume a King Arthur bread flour or a Giusto bread flour, both of which I happen to have on hand, should be reasonable substitutes. You indicate that you use SAF yeast. Since you proof your yeast in water, I assume it is the active dry yeast form. Is that correct? Since Kosher salt varies in coarseness from brand to brand, can you tell us which brand you use?
Just looking at the ingredients for your recipe, they strike me as being quite similar to a NY style dough but for the use of the bread flour instead of high-gluten flour, a fair amount of honey and not using a period of refrigeration. When I try the recipe, I plan to weigh the ingredients and try to calculate the baker's percents as best I can. You indicate that the dough is sufficient for two pizzas. For the amount of flour and water in your recipe, I would guess a dough ball weight of a bit over 22 oz. If you are making two pizzas, how big (diameter) and how thin are they?

Thanks for the response.
High gluten flour will work fine.
Yes I use SAF active dry yeast.
This makes two 16" pies with the border a 1/2" thick and the middle about an 1/8" thick.
I use the honey to proof the yeast as well as give the crust a good coloring with a nice flavor.
The Kosher salt is Morton's.
I form this crust by pressing the middle first, forming the border with my thumbs, and lightly stretching over the knuckles. If the dough does not want to stretch ,let it rest for a minute then resume.

A follow-up question.
In searching the Stone-Buhr flour, I see that the Stone-Buhr "all-purpose" flour has a protein content of 12.3%. The KA "bread" flour has 12.7%. I did not find a Stone-Buhr so-called "bread" flour anywhere in the search I conducted, so I take this to mean that the Stone-Buhr all-purpose flour has a protein content that is actually closer to bread flour than what is usually considered all-purpose flour. Is that your understanding also?

high gluten flour and an overnight rise in the cooler will give you a whole new taste. Give it a try.

OK, did you, Pete, or anyone else ever try this formula. I needed a dough to make lunch for a friend today and thought this sounded easy enough. Turned out to be the worst pizza I've made to date. Dough was much too dry and very hard to work with. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to stretch it a little and let it rest a while. Ended up using a rolling pin to get it stretched out as much as I could and just hoped for the best. Is it me or is this formula way under hydrated?

No, I never did get around to trying the recipe. That recipe is an "emergency" type of recipe, which is a type that I don't often make because I am more of a fan of longer-fermented doughs. I suspect also that I held back from making the dough because I do not have a source of the Stone-Buhr flour, which is a regional flour that is not available where I live outside of Dallas. The Stone-Buhr flour is also a somewhat unique flour because it is called an all-purpose flour but has a protein content closer to that of a bread flour.
In your case, it is possible that you measured out the flour with a "heavier" hand than addicted uses, which could have easily affected the hydration of the dough. That would not be uncommon for a recipe where the flour is specified by volume rather than weight and without an indication of how the flour should be measured out. If you did not use the Stone-Buhr flour, that could also have affected the results because of different hydration characteristics.
As a convenience to our members, I recently compiled a list of "emergency" type dough recipes at
. Emergency type doughs are the easiest and quickest doughs to make but in my opinion are usually not the best from a quality standpoint simply because of the short fermentation times. I have not personally tried all of the recipes in that collection, for the reason mentioned above, but I thought that the Y-TOWN recipe (under the General category) was a good all-purpose emergency dough recipe. Steve's Quick & Easy recipe (under the New York Style category) is also a good one but it requires high-gluten flour, a food processor, and is a very high hydration dough that some people may have difficulties working with. For an American style emergency dough, I think that the Papa John's emergency dough clone recipe (under the American style category) is a good one for that style. That recipe was my creation so I may be biased on its value. You might want to experiment with some of the emergency dough recipes in the collection to find the one that works best for you and that you feel comfortable with to use to make pizzas to serve your guests.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have to agree with you on the longer fermentation. Even with my limited experience, it is obvious that longer is better. There was really no special reason why I picked this recipe over the others in the "emergency" thread, I guess I'm just a lousy gambler! The next time I'm in that situation, I'll try your recipe. Thanks again for the help

this is one day cold fermentation. The base i find is far too jaw breaking chewy. This was over cooked in the oven at 500F for 15 mins on a screen throughout. Not sure whether i was using 00 flour made the difference to the extra chewyness. the base did however cook better and was softer than previous although overcooked. The taste of honey etc does make this a very nice tasting pie im going to try another recipe with longer fermentation and one that handles similarly to this because it was a great dough to shape with my newbie skills.

Hi esoog,
Nice looking pie. Makes me want to go out and buy some fresh jalapenos to put on my pie.
Any particular reason for using the type 00 flour? At lower temperatures (500-750F) you probably won't see any benefit from using this sort of flour and actually will have a negative effect. You are better off sticking with bread flour, all-purpose or high gluten flour. Only my opinion of course.

Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?The Aquila frame looks and rides well but you will be going backwards on components, especially the fork and shifters. I suppose you could get one and upgrade as you wear parts out but you'll quickly overcapitalise such a basic bike doing so.

Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
Cheers, will keep an eye out for any info...
I'm less and less likely to get anything 2nd hand.. Once bitten twice shy as they say..
I'm at the stage i don't want o ride my MTB as its a pain in the proverbial up hills.. The gearing on the Reid bikes is of concern i admit, I guess have to hop on one and see how i feel on it. If all said and done I don't like the Reids then i will have no choice in spending more I guess..
Yes thats true.. I don't want to buy a bike and then have to start forking out $$$ to upgrade it. I'm caught between a Rock and a Reid Bike.. So to speak. Just your average Cycling Hack rider.. Trying to Keep fit. Owner of a 1990's Konya MTB..
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?I still think carefully selecting a used bike is still the best option.
Such as this bike in Vic listed on Bike Exchange .........Giant Defy 3 medium 2010 model for $550. or best offer Giant Road Bike Cheers, Tom PS. It does look like the tyres need pumping up
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?Or this one also a Giant but with far better running gear such as a carbon fork, carbon rear chainstay, carbon seat post and Ultegra front and rear derailleurs for only $600 or best offer.
Giant OCR ZERO Road Bike However this one definitely needs some new bar tape. White looks nice
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
How dare you, i have the same tape on my Scott! (and it looks just as bad ). When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
Not a bad looking bike... Its tyres are like my MTB, they go flat... leaky valves.. Have new tubes just need to change them over soon.
Hahaha... Just your average Cycling Hack rider.. Trying to Keep fit. Owner of a 1990's Konya MTB..
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?Answering the ops original question instead of selling him a second hand bike he doesn't want. I had an Osprey as my first road bike. I owned it for about 4 months and rode it for about 2000km. I had no issues with it and it was as reliable as any bike. Still needed the normal routine maintenance but nothing out of the ordinary happened. I sold it for a good price. I got rid of it because I got the cycling bug and upgraded to a full carbon frame. From what your post was about I would consider this bike suitable for you. If you want to stretch another 100 bucks I am pretty sure you can get a wide variety of name brands. As per the for mentioned bikes. My mate got the Trek 1.1 which he is happy with as another option. All will do what you want. Beware the real downside to the cycling community is that there are some real brand snobs out there who will bash a brand with out ever riding it.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
This. I is also prevalent in other areas in society. There are plenty of contributors here that don't subscribe to this brand snobbery though. bychosis (bahy-koh-sis): A mental disorder of delusions indicating impaired contact with a reality of no bicycles.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
I think there's an argument to be made that you should keep riding up the hills until you get better at it. My guess is that the bike will make much less difference at least at this stage compared to regularly riding hills for a few weeks.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
It has nothing to do with brand snobbery - if it did I wouldn't have suggested a second-hand Giant. It has more to do with choosing something well engineered and manafactured that might last a bit longer than four months before it fails, or you need to upgrade. There are a bunch of reids in one of my offices - the single speeds look fine, but the geared bikes are just very basic... especially when compared to some of the second-hand options. At the end of the day i don't have to ride it, so feel free to disregard my advice!
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
Kinda contradicting there. There is a difference between 'very basic' and rubbish. Very basic to some people is perfectly serviceable, rubbish is not serviceable to anyone. Replace Reid, Giant and Cannondale with Great Wall, Holden and Volkswagen and repeat the conversation in motoring context, same result. Some will be happy with Great Wall based on $ and warranty, others wouldn't touch them with a barge pole (me included for the next 5-10yrs anyway). Bikes are vastly simpler and much easier to change parts to improve, knowing that the parts may be taken to a new bike later. bychosis (bahy-koh-sis): A mental disorder of delusions indicating impaired contact with a reality of no bicycles.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
+1 If the OP has some concerns about buying a used bike it may be advisable for him to take a more experienced cyclist with him to both provide advice on the quality of the bike as well as buying one that is the correct size for him.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?If the OP is still looking for a budget bike then HASA, Polygon and Azzuri are worth a look
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
I agree with this... to a point. I upgraded my bike to a carbon frame jobbie and wanted a runabout bike that would take the baby seat and noodle along with the kids. I grabbed a boat anchor off ebay and hated getting on it from the start. It felt like stepping out of a sports car into a truck. So I didn't ride it (ended up chucking it on hard rubbish collection). I know it's a bit of an extreme example but it was my experience. If you love riding the bike you'll ride it more, and that will make more of a difference to your hill climbing ability than not riding a heavier bike you hate riding.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
Cheers, I'm quite happy to read everyone's opinions. As a self proclaimed Newbie to road bikes any information good or bad on certain bikes is indeed valuable to me. As for the Brand snobs, thats fine everyone has their preffered brands. Thank you for your insight in the Osprey. As all I'm after is a basic level bike to do a few casual rides that won't break down at the first bump in the road.
I went out for a ride yesterday around 10km round trip, forced myself to go over a few hills instead of a flat route. I hope that a lighter road bike with less tyre footprint will make it easier for me.
Unfortunately, none of my mates are nothing more than casual riders, therefore i would prefer for my own peace of mind to go with the new option.
Have to add them to my list. Although the budget I want to spend is around the Reid Osprey area I'm not limiting myself to only that brand... Cheers.
I hate riding my MTB cos its heavy yes, especially up hills. A lot of that is due to my lack of bike fitness. Ideally my MTB will be mainly for short trips to and from local shops. I rode it to local Bunnings the other day and locked it against a sign post. Was not in slightest concerned that anyone would steal it. Read a lot of posts here of stolen expensive bikes. No way would i buy one and leave it outside, even locked. For that reason I wouldn't throw it out. Then again if I get the road bike bug you never know Just your average Cycling Hack rider.. Trying to Keep fit. Owner of a 1990's Konya MTB..
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?Only 5 days to go and Goldcross cycles (Epping) re-opens... Will pop in and check out what they have. Perhaps test ride something there.. On a side note, i'm now unemployed, so I may have to adhere to a $500 limit. The deal of a bike(Osprey) with all the free extras is looking extremely good to me at this stage..
In any case no rush to buy the first bike I see.. Just your average Cycling Hack rider.. Trying to Keep fit. Owner of a 1990's Konya MTB..
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?The free gear while better than no free gear, isn't the greatest. The bottle didn't let water out that well, even with a good squeeze and tasted worse than your average plastic bottle. The pump isn't rated to 100psi if I remember correctly, which is the pressure I run at. The lights, while they do work, aren't bright enough for night riding. I do have them on my bike as a backup/daytime running occasionally. I can't comment on the lock as they didn't have one in stock when I got my bike and given I already had a D lock, it was too much of a bother to go get one when they came in.
I have a reid condor if I haven't mentioned it btw.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
"Very basic" was a euphemism. I don't understand why anybody would buy outdated, heavy, poorly matched and low quality products, when something infinately better is also available. Like I said though, i don't really mind either way as i don't have to ride it.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?It's because the cost to benefit works out that way for the buyer. Things like friction shifting and freewheels still work. The bikes aren't heavy compared to kmart/cruiser bikes. There's also the concern for some people (including me) that cycling will be given up on, so the fact that more expensive parts are cheaper in the long run doesn't matter. Of course, you have to enjoy it to keep going, but I think they're good enough for that purpose.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?I can tell you from personal experience that riding a well made light bike, and one where you do not have to keep adjusting the derailleur's add infinitum makes you really enjoy riding your bike.
I went through two boat anchors one with an alloy frame and with low grade Shimano equipment before buying my current ride, and I wished I had discovered this site, and asked the same question the OP has asked prior to buying those two.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
I agree riding a bike where you don't have to stuff around to get it to work makes things more enjoyable. However, I haven't had problems with shifting on my bike. The rear shifter is indexed and the front is friction, but there's only 2 chainrings so it's not an issue. To be fair, I haven't ridden it that much all up, but the way it's going, if it does start getting crappy due to wear, I'll still feel I got my $250 out of it. The only issues I've had are the rim tape being not very good which I replaced along with the tubes, and the spoke tension was a bit loose after riding it for a bit. I took it back and they fixed it up. I believe they've changed to a better rim tape now anyway. I suppose given that I'm riding for fitness the weight is less of an issue because extra resistance isn't that big a deal, but also losing weight myself does the same thing.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
I guess most freebies today are all pretty low quality.. I already have a decent water bottle, pump and lock.. As for the lights strobe LEDS can only go so far. I don't do any night riding. What do you think of your Condor?.
my MTB is a Boat anchor with the boat being dragged behind me. I like this forum as you can learn from other people's experiences. Just your average Cycling Hack rider.. Trying to Keep fit. Owner of a 1990's Konya MTB..
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?Ok after doing some research and reading posts.. Here is my short list at this stage..
In price Order : Reid Osprey $490 .. Bauer RS 100 $499.. Avanti Giro 1.0 $595.. Fuji Rubaix 2.0 $649.50 As mentioned I like to set a $500 limit, however I will need to check these bikes out b4 i decide on what I am willing to spend and what I like. Cell bikes are reasonable but I cant actually go and check them out as they are in Sydney.. At this rate I may end up with a Kids Toy Tricycle... Just your average Cycling Hack rider.. Trying to Keep fit. Owner of a 1990's Konya MTB..
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?Looking at your final four, I do think you can scratch the last two of your list when it comes to value for dollars, and between the Reid Osprey and the Bauer RS100 the only reason I would lean towards the RS100 is because the front chain rings will give you an easier ride up hills.
Then on the other side of the coin the Reid is certainly a nicer looking bike. (For me anyway) Either way be prepared for a wheel upgrade in the long term as both bikes have rather heavy wheelsets that will make climbing hills and/or fast acceleration more sluggish. However when it comes to the final crunch you need to ride both bikes to be really sure that this bike is the one for you. PS. When it comes to bike size, going by my own experience, is that a bike 25mm too small is better than a bike 25mm to big, so try both the bike that may be recommended to you by the bike store, and also one the next size smaller just to see how it feels.
Re: New roadie buyer here, Reid Bikes?
Yeah i really need to see these bikes up close to get an idea what i like and what I don't.. Has to be a balance of what I like the look of and how it rides I guess... My MTB was purchased from Rays cycles in Preston(No longer there). They measured me by standing over the bike with feet flat on the floor. Problem is when I have to stop on a sloping surface I have to lean the bike over while straddling the cross bar. I'm pretty sure they just gave me the closest size they had even if it was slightly oversize. What did I know?.. Just your average Cycling Hack rider.. Trying to Keep fit.

Great fit, great material, great style!
Davenport, Iowa
Need Adjustments
I buy petite pants so I don't have to hem them. Well, these need hemming. Otherwise OK pants.
These fit well except they were too long for me (I am 5'3"). I had the seamstress remove the back pockets since they show through and realize that a thong is a must. Anything else will show through as well. But they fit my "curves"!
Great pants!
Great pants for curvy girls with thin waist.Usually career pants are all off and weird on me, but these fit like a glove. I have big thighs and behind, but waist is 30" and these pants fit perfectly.
