I recently held two AHH frames side by side. They had serial numbers
that differed by 2, and I believe both came from Toyo. They were very
similar in color, but not identical. One was ever-so-slightly darker
than the other, but I doubt I'd have been able to tell them apart at a
distance.

That was a Mark II Atlantis, it has the bowed chain stays to fit bigger
tyres.
The Mark 1s, had S shaped chain stays that reduced tire clearance,
also the head tube angle .5 degree steeper in the 61cm size.

It could occur accidentally; I'm more curious to understand the sheer
physics/mechanics of it, but you're right from a behavioral perspective
it's less likely to happen in a typical riding situation.
(Pssst, Philip... don't let that dissuade you from attempting your
experiment... :)
The pink 50.6 with the 57 top tube that is now on clearance is a screaming
deal for the person that will fit it. If I were not hips deep in my own
venture I would be working pretty hard to figure out how to bring this into
the stable. This is the ideal long and low for somebody about 5'3,

I'm not sure what type of tubing it is. I don't know the ins and outs of

Does Maas Bros. do paint or just powder coating? Was it a lugged bike? I've

Hi Justin
Just a thank you for letting me know - and also big thank you Jim
for the information. I have aline on two 59 cm Bleriots and hopefully one
of them work out. Definitely looking forward to finally owning something

I did a 650B conversion on an 1980s racing bike that had 700x20 tires on
it. To my fat-tire-enamored eye, they looked like razor blades. Like
you'd pump them to 140psi and they'd slice a groove into the pavement. Who
would ride such things?

I have a set of these on the Mystery Bike. They are really great tires -
excellent traction on trails, NO road buzz on pavement, and very cushy.

Hi Daniel -
Maas Brothers only does powder coating.
My frame is lugged. I think that given the price of a Maas Brothers powder
coat, it's an exceptional value. I have several other bikes - including one

pretty close
No, not at all. Jim Thill's response sounded joking at first read, but then I realized it was quite thoughtful. The idea being that S240's do carry risk and danger, and that is a streak that makes them invigorating. They are not dangerous enough to scare one from doing them, but I've never been
