Even an approximate measurement would be good enough -- I'm replacing the fork and don't have access to the bike right now. If it helps at all, i have a 65cm Redwood, and since i'm home and could measure, i did - 23.5cm for the headtube. Would that make the 68cm version 3cm longer then? -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN Thanks, Bill, for measuring your bike. Since headtube and seattube aren't quite parallel on these models, I would guess the measurement would be just slightly less for the headtube (steeper)? But assuming the 65 and 68 models really are 65 and 68 (not always the case!), it seems like the headtube would be about 26.5cm. Thanks again: that's helpful. Can anyone confirm that the headtube does indeed measure 26.5cm? Art --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Ray, have fun on your Tam ride. I miss Tam at times. I've ridden Tam in the rain, super thick fog and even spotted patches of ice but I can't recall riding it with snow on it. Take your camera and post some pictures if you can. Come to think of it. The last time I rode Tam was on a visit to SF this past Feb. You and I talked very briefly as I was heading back into town on the GG Bridge. I was worked. But damn that was a fun day. It's been snowing here in Portland daily since Sunday but with little accumulation. It's the first time I've ever pedaled in the snow and really enjoyed it so far. it's a little nerve wracking on the busier streets. --mike --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Riding my Romulus up Mt Tam tomorrow (12/20)
Hi, Mike - Actually, that is Franklyn who is headed up Tam tomorrow. I asked what time he's leaving because I might be able to squeeze it in if he'll have the company. I remember meeting you on the Golden Gate Bridge. That was a nice day. If I get up there tomorrow, I will take pix and post a couple. I normally ride to the top of Tam on each New Year's Day, rain or shine, hangover or not. But we leave Sunday for a couple of weeks and I'll miss my annual good luck ride to the summit. Maybe I can do it a week early and the Romulus Gods will still find it favorable and bless me for another year!
