Both! San Marcos immediately and take your time with the Trek. Do the

That is an excellent question, and I will measure it once I get back
to town (Sunday) and get the wheels back on it (being serviced as we

Jim,
It's true that the Budget Bike owner has changed the tenor of the business
recently. It used to be a real budget bike store. I bought 3 used bikes
there: Trek 620, 610, and 613 from the early 80s. They were all very
reasonable.

Hi,
As an owner of a Sam Hil. And a 82' Trek 613, I'd recommend the San
Marco, primarily because the Trek will run a maximum tire size of 28mm
with fenders (700c conversion). Further, the Riv has a very nice feel
that is quite distinct from the Trek, more stability, better down hill
handling.
I have had a table at the chronometro swap since 2006, but decided to skip it
this year. Maybe because I'm not local, I always felt it was difficult
convincing people there that I wasn't trying to scam them. And there were a lot
of gawkers who pawed through my stuff and offered lots of
