That color looks so great, it makes you wonder why all bikes aren't orange. Cool chainstay decals, may I suggest some helicopter tape to cover those and to protect from the dreaded chain slap! On Thu, Jul 7, 2022 at 5:13 AM Ryan Frahm wrote: > Thank you! And congrats on the Gus! I plan to wrap

I'd also love to pick up a set of Tosco bars, but the widest ones (650mm, preferrably). Everyone seems to have them on their bike builds, but they're not in stock anywhere. I guess they proved to be tremendously popular! Blue Lug says they don't expect to get anymore, and Riv says maybe sometime

[RBW] Re: Susie's Limits

IMO if the weight difference between a Susie and a Gus is as small as Rivendell says and there is no ride difference as stated by Rivendell and this is really a problem then they would only sell the Gus. The Susie is still a robust frame. I think most of the "get this if you weigh less" market
