I have a Bombadil, and it's solid under me; I'm currently running Rumpkins on it, and they're the smallest tire I'd run, bigger would be good; I've run NeoMotos on it before, too. The Hunqapillar would be just as solid. An Atlantis would also be fine, too. But, I also have a Rom and a Ram. I don't load them down: The Ram, I converted to 650b and run Hetres on it (~42mm), has a pair of Acorns on it, a rando box on the front and a saddle bag on the back, so I can carry tools, tube, a jacket, etc.; no panniers, or heavy loads. The Rom, I run it naked except for a tool-roll, and have it running MSO's (700c / 40mm) as more of a gravel-grinder. (Have a small front rack I could put on it, have considered a rando box for it, too...) So, none of them are running skinny tires. They're fine, but, they were intended for people smaller than me. What's your intended use? Just looking for a 'road bike'? A Sam or a Hilsen might work okay for you, They wouldn't be as stout as the Atlantis or the Hunq, but it could do it. But the Atlantis and the Hunq would be fine at that too, and can take more, if you wanted to load them up more. The Clem looks like it'd be a great choice too, but, it'll be awhile before it gets here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
