Yes those are prototype tires not production models - Pacenti said they would be available in May.
Sorry you "don't see the reason for this sort of construction" - I built the bike for myself, nobody else. Yes it does weigh 21 pounds Regards, Bruce Gordon www.bgcycles.com <http://www.bgcycles.com/> brucegordoncycles.blogspot.com _____ From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of carnerda...@bellsouth.net Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2010 6:52 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [RBW] Lugged! Proper fork bend! 650B! Fenders! Fattish Tires! Riv-ish! Are those tires prototypes or production versions?

I don't see a reason for this sort of construction, except as a craftman's tour de force (as opposed to his tour de france), but man, I'd ride it in a Rivendell minute! IIRC, BG claimed 21 lb for the bike as pictured. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
