Patrick, I love that you had a bike designed with a long enough headtube and angles to actually slam it upright! That is awesome! That is exactly what I would love right now.
I am good example of the ebbs and flows one goes through with geometry based on health. I always rode aggressively and had pretty good saddle to bar drop. When my lumbar discs started acting up I started riding with more steerer and even buying high rise threadless stems. I have a Gunnar Roadie with a barely cut fork for that reason. My Jones has an uncut tube and actually looks normal because Jeff designed it as so. He even sells new tubes for 30 bucks with his Truss so you can always just go back to the drawing board. After having surgery a few months back the only way I can ride comfortably on the Gunnar is by using the full steerer. If it was cut low like many of you mentioned I would have either sold it or bought a new fork. The threaded option in my opinion these days is almost a must. If I wanted to slam, I could. If I want a high rise, I can. No need to worry about steerer tube materials and stress in the conventional sense. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
