The Champion Flyer is a (narrow) B17 on springs. It's more for a heavy guy
than a lady. I'm 210# and the Flyer is great for me. The B68 is probably

In general most people do. I think the general consensus is that the *right
*stem for your albas is 2-3cm longer than the right one for drops.
Applying that to me, I'm using a 9 or 10cm stem on most of my bikes, and
I'd use a 12 or 13 with Albas.
On Wednesday, June 12, 2013 10:59:38 AM
Not sure, but if these dimensions are right:
13.5″ L x 8″ W x 15″ H
That watermelon was larger than that smallest dimension.
But Anne was right--with the top flap, I can carry a six pack on top of my
camping load:

i did, but you have to look at the bike you have, alba's (and boscos) can
compensate for a too long headtube as well, so take that into consideration, if
your current setup is perfect then yes a longer stem should be used to get the
position about the same.
i lowered my stem slightly as well,
My Hunqapillar with Albas and my Hilsen with Noodles have the same TT

Having seen the smog white in person, it's quite nice. Good looking bike.
Like the bars way up like that. Glad Surly went with a longer steerer

On Wed,
I'm sure he'll love that bike. Looks great although I do think he could
come down a bit on the bars as they look a bit high. But if that's where he
like them, then he should leave him. Somewhere on the Surly site it
mentions that their steerer tubes are sturdy and you don't have to worry
Looks good. I agree he should leave the steerer alone until he's 100%
comfortable with it. Don't hurry with the hacksaw.

One of my specs was 26 wheels. To me, versatility is key, and for my

Standard operating procedure is you and a buyer agree to terms, then that's
it. Sometimes it takes a day for the buyer to get to Paypal, but that's
part of the deal. Jumping the line ahead of someone who's already agreed to
buy by getting there first is frowned upon.
