That's true. I ride my Atlantis and Quickbeam, both with drop bars, on trails and gravel/dirt roads quite often. The Atlantis wears 700x35, the 'Beam has 700x32s. For "fast" road rides, I take my "bare bones" Romulus. it has 700x28s. There is a group that rides trails with road bikes, lots of them Riv's. That link is here:

Live with the AHH for a while unless you really want/need a mountain bike for mountain biking. With the fatter tires that'll fit the AHH, you can ride most trails. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
