Re: [RBW] Sam, almost fully dressed

[Joel Stern]

Paul, the  bike rides great.  The 48mm tires help but Even without that the
frame is just very body gentle.  Handling I’d stable, a bit slower than the
Bleriot but not much and that may be me getting used to it.  I’ve put the
Brooks saddle back on and all feels great.

It would be very hard to go to a less relaxed bike ever again.  I like the
chainstays on this one, would not, for me, want them longer.

It was a great choice.

The ones that have not hit yet, that dark gold would have been tempting as
I like more subdues but I am getting very comfortable with the orange.

I want to ride today as well but it is wet on the road, will see if it
dries up.

Thanks for your feedback.

Joel
