A Rawland Norvindian felt dead underneath me, and so did a LHT. My fullylugged Ram and Road OTOH are lively (as are my other 2 fully lugged steel bikes. An old Nashbar by Maruishi and a Waterford). I'd take a Toyo Atlantis in a heartbeat if one came along in my size. or an AR for that matter. No disrespect to the original color, but that new mermaid color is the bomb and I'd gladly use it for my next paint job. On Friday, July 30, 2021 at 2:31:39 PM UTC-5 Edwin W wrote:
