Friends of the finest steel bikes, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a prototypical Gus Boots Willsen last Saturday and took it for a short ride to Shell Ridge on the flanc of Mt Diablo.
This specimen was the large. A perfect fit (89.5 PBH). I tried the small one and felt cramped. The medium and XL were surprisingly almost as comfy, yet the large is the one that makes me feel at home. The ride, on the easy trail upon which I traveled, was as smooth as smooth can be and I'll attribute that to the generous 2.8" tires and confidence inspiring geometry. Summarized, GBW feels as good as any other model but with the biggest, cushiest, pillowy-est tires I've tried on a Rivendell bike. Very good. Here are a few pictures of the machine in its natural habitat: https://flic.kr/s/aHskMbBJc6 Happy (almost) New Year!
