I second that. I found them when I was quite a bit bigger. There are not many companies that sell big sized cycling gear but they do at decent prices. I have not worn much cycling gear lately but I think I may get some of their touring shorts for the extra long rides. Their stuff is made in USA

I have a 2000 Riv custom Long Low with short reach brakes, built be Joe Stark. Grant categorized the customs back then as Road Standard, Long Low and All Rounder. The Road Standard and Long Low usually had no canti mounts and the All Rounder did. Tom Dusky Huntington Woods, MI On Jul 14, 8:45

I didn't see that the Soma is functionally similar to the Blériot or the Sam H. My read was that the Soma tubing is lightweight and not ideal for touring (Despite the rack mounts on the seat stays, it isn't a touring bike. The tubing is too light for that.). The Blériot had some capability

Thanks for pointing these out. I haven't seen them didn't even know Ergon made pedals. If they are as well thought out as their handgrips, they have some merit. It would be interesting to see how the safety tread stuff works when wet. It does well on stair treads, etc. I love my Grip Kings

These look okay but I prefer BMX style pedals the ones with a large platform, pins, sealed bearings, concave profile and CNC machined platform about 100mm square. I've never been gouged by pedal pins like many seem to be scared off and this type of pedal is usually made quite sturdy for between
